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?

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.

I'm gluten intolerant, there are literally hundreds of gluten-free breads, pastas, cakes and biscuits out there. It's really not the end of the world.

my boyfriend is celiac and I make homemade pasta for him along with using store bought gluten free rice noodles. it's a different texture but you get used to it, you can even buy bread now and crackers and cereal. I'm not even a celiac and I eat, bake and cook all gluten free by choice. I've made gluten free Alfredo sauce, ravioli and just last night I made spaghetti. we eat tons of pasta, at least 4 to 5 times a week.

That really, really sucks for you. My mom has celiac disease and loves foods like pasta and bread, so I can empathize. The good news is that there are constantly more and more tasty gluten-free foods coming out, so you have options besides just rice. Making your own pasta and bread is another really good alternative, as a lot of people here have said. Also, after a few months on the gluten-free diet, my mom said that she felt so much better health-wise that it was worth it to make the dietary sacrifices.

sucks for sure but there are a lot of things you can substitute Rice noodles are a common choice and kamut and spelt flour products are becoming very easy to find. Look on the internet for info and you will find recipes for tons of stuff you can eat.
