Wow, I just found out I'm allergic to something called gluten o.o

Now my mom won't let me eat wheat, rye, barley, or anything good :[
Is this allergy uncommon? It really sucks....

 

No, I know quite a few people who are unable to eat Gluten, don't worry, you're not alone.

Im sorry to hear that you gotta' give up stuff you like, but it's for your own good so you will just have to accept it. Sounds harsh but just think.. It could be miles worse.

 

Wait-a-sec.

Exactly how old are you?

Wouldn't you find out about this as soon as you got off the baby food?

Oh, and that sucks. Is is a bad reaction?

 

In some cases, you find out about allergies later on in life. I wasn't allergic to peas/beans/peppers till I was in my early teens. But quite often, allergies die out before puberty. Still it's not too uncommon that the opposite happens, and you get more and more of them.

I also know quite many people with gluten-allergy. And I agree, allergies in general suck. 3:

 

I only know one person who is allergic to gluten. How do you compensate for the lost nutrients?

 

That really stinks. I would be pretty annoyed if I were allergic to wheats. lol

Here's a bunch of foods you can eat that won't kill you and your allergy... yeah.

 

That article was very informative. I learned something new today.

 

I don't notice any problems when I eat it, but my mom says I'll feel alot better when I stop eating it o.o
i don't exactly feel bad at all, so idk...
But I'm 14 and I had to go on a no- gluten diet RIGHT BEFORE I STARTED HIGH SCHOOL!!! THIS SUX >:O
But I have to deal with it, it's not hard until when my dad (whom I don't live with) took me to this awesome pizza place- and I love pizza... then he took me to Fazoli's... I love Italian food, so it really sucked... AND HE WOULDN'T LET ME EAT ANY OF IT >:O
But my mom also has it, and so does my lil sis...

 

Wow. You all are on the same diet then?

 

You aren't alone. I'm alergic to fur and I can't buy pets. How lonely -_-

 

Allergies suck and yeah, having an allergy to gluten isn't one of the allergies I'd want. You can however I believe still eat meats, fruits and vegetables.

You might want to explore different grains and starches as some are gluten free. Here's a good site that lists off quite a bit of things you can eat and things you should avoid. http://www.gicare.com/pated/edtgs06.htm so maybe that will help you out some.

This is a really hard allergy to have to adjust to but if you do, it may help you feel better than you do now and you might see that you had symptoms from it. Right now it seems the allergy is mild so you might get away with some gluten now and then, but just be careful with it as allergies have a tendency to get worse if you try to keep doing what your body says it doesn't want you to. Good luck and I hope things work out for you.

 

Yea, my mom got to the point to where she was having seizures because of it before she found out about it :[

 

I haven't heard of that before but that doesn't mean it's uncommon.
I'm allergic to sugar(not debates), which sucks way more than you.
And my sister is allergic to chocolate.
I have to watch what I eat so I don't get sick.
Why do you think we are so thin?! D:

 

Sugar would be a rly hard thing to be allergic to :[
Sugars in everything

 

NOT EVERYTHING.
And I'm allowed to have it in moderation.Like,not as much as everyone else.D:

 

Oh, I see, srry I misunderstood.
I wish I could have pizza :[
Stupid wheat crust :[
