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.

Allergies suck. I hope you find an easy way to manage that. I pretty much had to give up dairy food this past year due to my own issues.

Allergies do suck. I'm allergic to most fruits and they don't make fruit-free fruit. My husband recently developed a seafood allergy and there's no decent alternative to that either. It seems like whatever food you love the most, you will end up allergic to it. God, I want a plum.

No. With butter, in some type of lasagna dish, w/ out rinsing the starches out…etc

My in-laws boil theirs until there is no flavor then they add gravy. It's a crime! I have eaten steamed rice by itself as a meal and it's delicious. Still, pasta would be tough to give up. It's a good thing OP doesn't have to. There are so many gluten-free foods out there and some are really good.

Bleached rice is the worst. All the nutrition bleached out of it. I like my rice like I like my women. Au natural.

bleached rice? rice isn't bleached. when rice is milled, the hull is removed and the naturally white core is exposed. Less nutritious but more delicious.

Seriously shut up! That's not a bad thing in the least. I am also Italian and gluten intolerant. In addition to being allergic to wheat and dairy. You will realize how much better you feel when you don't eat gluten crap. It's a much better lifestyle than poisoning your body.

so for the past 5000+ people have been eating poison...dare I say it...to survive!?

I think she is saying it's a poison if you are allergic so your sarcasm is a little unwarranted.

That sucks, but this isn't really a fml. So what? you have to cut some foods out and replace them with other ones, in the end you will be healthier. I'm sure there's a lot of starving children around the world that need gluten free diets and can't afford to make the change. they can't even afford to eat. period. Stop being a baby, and deal with it!
