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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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 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, 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 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
Today, we live in a tiny trailer. My doctor said I have celiac disease. My dad, who takes things too literally, came back with gluten-free dog food. I don’t even have a dog. FML
Today, I found out I'm going to be celebrating New Year's with a gastroscopy and colonoscopy. It's been two days since I discovered I'm gluten intolerant to go with my lactose intolerance. It's also my 28th birthday tomorrow. 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, I'm quite ill. My new step-mother believes that the genetic wheat allergy I got from my mother would have gone away since she's now married to my father instead. Looks like dad picked a winner. FML
Today, the doctor let me know I have an autoimmune disease. The disease results in ulcers in my colon which bleed when I poop. I cried, but only when I was told that I wouldn't be allowed to eat cheese anymore. FML

Abel and Schafer have an excellent gluten free line for product. Now is the time to convince your boss to start carrying it.

My son was just diagnosed with Celiacs disease. He's 6 and lives on cupcakes so this is devastating. I've been looking into gluten free recipes and there are a lot of them. The key to a good gluten free dessert is in how you mix it. Since the gluten free diet is a popular fad, you'll find plenty of room for expansion if you own the bakery. Or you'll be a unique asset to a new bakery offering gluten free options.

You won’t be “eating into the profit,” so you’ll be financially successful. Or at least your boss will.

My boyfriend has Celiac's disease. You can make some pretty good desserts that are gluten free. At least now you can figure out how to make gluten free desserts and expand your market into people that have gluten intolerances or Celiac's.

I worked at a pub, and people who didnt like the chibata bread(has a light dusting of flour on the bottom) ect would say they were a ceilac, of course everone in the kitchen has to get new gloves on ect, well the most memorable was a lady said she was a celiac,claiming a deathly allergy to flour,what does she order ? the onion rings. At that point i lost my shit and yelled from the back of the kitchen "WHAT IN THE FLYING **** DOES SHE THINK THEY'RE BATTERED IN!!!" To which the lady walks up to the kitchen and says its ok because they're cooked.it just bugged me so much,like her stupidity hurt my brain. anyway hope this cheers ya up a bit.

This is def hilarious but for celiac’s also super sad cause so many food service workers don’t take celiac seriously and I ended up in the Er last summer as a result of that. It stinks how often I have to leave places cause of that so peope who do that crap only make being safe way harder on celiac’s. But at least they make themselves look dumb

Sorry to hear that. I hope you understand this means you have to avoid gluten/wheat like the plague.

I have celiac as well, so I definitely feel you there

I have celiac too. Have for 5 years. As a baker it should easy to make gluten free stuff taste great. If you can’t then that speaks to your skill as a baker cause we still make amazing stuff all the time with my food science degree.

Also from one celiac to another, flour is airborne. Baking with wheat will prevent your intestines from ever healing. Id do some research because you could end up with cancer and a boatload of other stuff if you continue to be contaminated daily by baking with wheat flour. It stinks but it’s the unfortunate truth, youll only screw yourself if you continue to.
