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, 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, my boyfriend’s mom fed me a new dish containing peanuts, knowing full well I’m severely allergic. According to her, her ancestors “cured” allergies by exposing the person to the allergen. I went into anaphylactic shock. FML

Today, I’m getting a very interesting demonstration of how genetics work: I have inherited all my dad’s health issues, plus those from my mom, plus a bunch of new ones that belong exclusively to me. 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'm getting married. A few months ago, I allowed my mother in-law to take care of catering. She begged to be a part of the wedding, so I gave her the caterer's number and order info. It appears that I will not be eating at my own wedding because she decided to order food I'm allergic to. FML

Genetics

Today, my grandmother is shocked that literally all of her kids and grandkids have mental handicaps. She won't admit it's because her and my grandfather are first cousins, and is claiming instead it's, "because of gluten." 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, I missed going to my boyfriend's stepsister's wedding. I would have been meeting my boyfriend's mom for the first time; now she doesn't like me. She figured I could just "tough it out". I have a chronic health condition and haven't been able to eat or get out of bed. FML

Isn't that how genetics works? Your hair and eyes can change color too!

I've actually had people tell me that I shouldn't act smart all of the time because boys don't like that... Ive been dating the same boy for almost three years now and he's proud of me; my grades and GPA has given me scholarships that pay for my university completely. He'd rather me be smart than ditzy.

She apparently has never taken High School Biology or she failed that class! Genetics has nothing to do with step parents! I feel your pain!

Is nobody going to state that allergies aren't genetic? Now both of you are morons.

Google "Celiac" and "Genetic" before name calling. Might help you some.

117- Hello, Op. My brother has Celiac's and agreed, it is genetic. Mind you, his is an intolerance, but it's easier to explain to people when he eats out to say "Food Allergy", they get the importance of zero cross contamination then.

I think you mean hereditary. Allergies are genetic, but not necessarily hereditary, i.e. they can run in the same family but don't always pass down parent to child.
