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

Why do you have to cut it out of all of your diets, instead of just your daughter's? Also, it's possible to bake gluten-free food.

It is possible to have gluten-free flour, I believe. You could even specialize in making bread for those who have intolerance of gluten.

That's got to suck for her as much as yourselves. Sorry to hear that.

My 17 year old niece just found out she is allergic to that stuff too...and brewers yeast and bakers yeast at the top of the allergy list...along with a whole list of several other foods...and eggs. that pretty much leaves gluten free soft tortilla shells for "bread"...gluten free still contains yeast.

Uh, not being funny but I used to be a baker and I hardly ever included anything like that in my diet. If anything working with the stuff put me off more than anything else. As wonderful as bakery goods are they are also one of the most unhealthy food types in existence. Anyone who is gluten intolerant or have celiacs have more chance of living a long healthy life than anyone else.

You're bakers, so what? Do you eat that shit all day and nothing else? Come on. A gluten free diet is easier to maintain than you would think. I work in a Mexican chain restaurant that serves cheap food and the majority of our menu is gluten free. It's not like having a gluten free diet means you have to narrow your food choices down to a few things... Also it's not even hard living with people with extremely different diets. I'm a vegetarian, my mom is diabetic and eats low carb, my sister eats pretty much only meat, and my dad's a bodybuilder with a special diet, yet we all somehow live together and eat together and it's EASY. Seriously suck it up and get creative. Sorry for the TL;DR hahaha.

This may sound stupid and I dont want to get your hopes up ... but, since it would affect you so severly, make sure she really really has celiacs. Reason I say this is because my gf was diagnosed and lived glutenfree for 2 years. after that, a routine checkup revealed she actually suffered from smth

(followup to #183 since post was truncated) ... so, she suffered from smth different, with similar symptoms as celiacs, but not related to gluten at all. So, have your daughter checked completely before you change your lifestyle. Routine celiac diagnoses are actually not 100% accurate as we found out the hard way. On the other side, if she does have celiac's, do know that you can live quite well with it, my gf and I did it for 2 years and once you've adapted, it's not such a big deal.

That does suck. I hope you get to find a good outcome for your problem. Maybe become a gluten-free bakery, like the others have suggested?
