Today, I learned I'm not allergic to gluten. My mom has kept me on a gluten-free diet since I was 5. She was convinced I was allergic to it. I'm 25 and I am writing this over my first slice of pizza in 20 years. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a lovely gluten-free pizza out at a local restaurant. After I'd finished, they informed me it wasn't in fact gluten-free. I am Celiac and this means I will be ill for the next six weeks. FML
Today, I found out I have celiac disease. I also happen to be a baker and will be constantly reminded of all the wheat products I can no longer enjoy. FML
Today, I found out that I have a gluten allergy. What this basically means is that I can't eat anything with wheat in it; bread, pasta, cake, you name it. I am Italian, this basically limits me from eating any of the awesome food my family makes almost every night. Here I come plain rice. FML
Today, I found out that I'm not actually allergic to chocolate, when my mom freely admitted to me that she made it up when I was a child because she didn't want to share any cookies with me. FML
Today, my mom baked a cake for the whole family. One spent EpiPen later, I found out there were nuts in it, which I'm severely allergic to. My mom's defense was that she thought I'd have "gotten over" my allergy by now. FML
Today, my husband and I found out that our daughter's chronic stomach aches are due to gluten intolerance, so we need to cut all wheat out of our diet. We're bakers. FML
Today, I told my mom that I think I'm lactose intolerant, and that I should go to the doctor to get checked out. She said that I was probably just gassy, and then ordered us a pizza for dinner. FML
Today, I went to a niece's birthday party and was very careful with what food I ate, as I have gluten and garlic sensitivity. I left the party with numb lips, so I guess I have a new sensitivity. FML
Today, my two favorite things in the world are Pizza and Beer... I now discover I have Celiac and can't have either. FML
Today, I turned 18. My parents remembered that I loved German chocolate cake, so I awoke to a hot, fudge-filled chocolate cake with a slice cut out just for me. I've been lactose-intolerant for 8 years. As I cried, my mom handed me tissues, while eating the "Happy" part of my cake. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I wish it could be my first time trying pizza again. That would be epic.

Amen to that!

Seems to be rash of this, I've seen it on several fml's. If only people would stop self diagnosing and listen to their HCP. Sorry op, hope you enjoy your pizza!

I don't think that was necessary.

So I am curious how you found out you were not allergic to gluten. Right now I am picturing a friend (who was ignorant about the "allergy") shoving pizza down your throat and you were fine afterwards.

Maybe she had an allergy test?

That seems more logical but less amusing in my head.

Welcome to the dark side. You may eat the cookies.

Some godfathers pizza locations serve gluten free pizza....

For some reason I read that as 'goddamn' instead of 'godfathers' and it just made you seem so angry for the OP's hardships.

Gluten free pizza kind of sounds like present free christmas

And you can make it yourself as well. I once wasn't allowed to eat gluten for a month because of an infection and my mum made me glutenfree pizza. It tasted quite good.

Everything is bad for you when taken in excess. Even the much beloved soy (known to be a carcinogen in high concentrations). Eating whole wheat bread or a bean salad isn't going to have a noticable effect on most people's life spans.

You're mad that you're healthy? Makes sense

She's mad that she wasn't entirely happy
annie_nk 23
Most likely mad that she was lied to.
Bekll 31
Mad because she was deprived of something as awesomely awesome as gluten filled pizza!

At least your mother didn't make it up so that she wouldn't have to share her pizza...
