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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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 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 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, I got back the results of an allergy test I decided to get because I felt generally tired after meals. Turns out that I'm allergic to, among other things, meat (yep, is a thing), nuts (of course), milk, egg, rice, carrot, apple, yeast (as in bread), and even soy. Seems I'm allergic to… food. 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, everything I eat makes me sick, so I don't know what to eat anymore now. My BMI is low and I'm absolutely starving. I can't even eat rice. 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 had a food allergy test done because of an ugly acne upswing, and after over a year of vegetarianism, I find out that I'm allergic to soy. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

There are gluten free flours out there -not at good as the real thing but still work-able. it's awful at first but eventually you learn to adapt and barely even notice the difference.

Oh someone call the waaaambulance. OP, I'm allergic to wheat and I'm Italian too. I didn't post an FML about it. Why? Because I go to Earth Fare which has all my typical Italian fixings and they're gluten-free.

You beat me to my comment #18. There are thousands, maybe millions of people with allergies. What makes OP so special? Oh, (s)he's ITALIAN. There are other italians with allergies, like my above commenter. Stop bitching and get over it.

Japanese rice is THE BEST. other rice isn't even close. except for the rice that japan imports.

I disagree. just because it's from japan doesn't mean it's good. best I've had was from china

Best I had was from Panda Express. :)

I have had a gluten allergy for 7 years and LOVE italian food. Gluten free pasta is great and I feel SO much better since not eating gluten anymore. My family has been great and I enjoy great sauces on my very own pasta :) I think you will wind up being happier than you think.

there are many other alternatives besides just rice. I have this too and have found many things I can eat. mine isn't severe so I can still eat wheat without too much concern I'll just suffer for it when I'm older. I was just at zio's the other day and they had a gluten free menu. that happens to be an Italian restaurant.

Regardless of wether or not you get the physical symptoms, you're still damaging your villi. Which can lead to other illnesses and make you more gluten sensitive.

That does suck, but if you didn't know, there are actually a bunch of different kinds of gluten free pastas and breads and all, you just have to look for them and find the right stores--most of which are on the east coast--it may not be too easy to find a lot of them at first or many that taste good, but most health food stores have a pretty good selection

There are a TON on the west coast. It's also pretty much no problem if you have Whole Foods or Trader Joe's nearby, or whatever your local equivalent might be.

Being allergic to anything sucks, but there are ways around it.

Oh this is not even bad! I have actual celiac disease and found out when no one even knew what it was, meaning I really did live on rice. There is so much Gluten free product available now that it's manageable and most restaurants have Gluten free menus...try getting this 7 to 10 ago then you have reason to complain!

Yeah, recently g-free cookbooks and foods have turned up everywhere. My aunt has celiac's; it was undiagnosed for years. When she was finally diagnosed properly, she basically went carb-free. Now she can eat just about anything I do with a little advance thought and prep.
