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 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

How could you do this to me?

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

No fun

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, 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, 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

The best day of your life

Today, my mom told me she is serving lasagna and Italian cream cake at my bridal shower. I'm severely lactose intolerant, which I have been telling her for years. She responded by telling me, and I quote, "The food is for the guests." FML

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.

In Sweden McDonalds fries are gluten free. The problem is if the fry it with nuggets. Damn those nugges. (but in swedland they don't mix the two!) Sweden is great to be gluten intolerant.

I have it, too, and after a little bit of grieving, I realized it was the best thing to ever happen to me. I eat better, my taste improved, and I'm finally healthy. Trust me, this is a good thing.

A gluten allergy in nothing. I'm not supposed to eat wheat, cow's milk, eggs, or peanuts and I'm also allergic to gluten, corn, soy, oats, cashews (my favorite nut), basil, garlic, and coffee. I'm also pre-diabetic which means I'm supposed to stay away from fruits. I just found out June 30th this year. Now I finally know why I was sick EVERY FREAKING DAY!!!  So yeah it sucks but just be glad gluten is your only food allergy and just ask your parents to be understanding and use gluten free flour and pasta.
