If you're like me and have been told by the doctor that gluten is your worst enemy, then you know the pain of being gluten free is real. Ross Geller is here to tell you he gets your pain too.

I'm not talking to anyone eating gluten free by choice... If this is you, stop now and eat gluten for those who can't.

This article is a gift to anyone with Celiac, an allergy to gluten, or gluten intolerance.

So grab a slice of gluten free pizza and enjoy Ross Geller's take on living gluten free.

Remember those mysterious stomach aches after every meal? Yeah.

We all remember the day you were told you would never eat "real" pizza again.

Was that salad dressing really gluten free? Did you forget to check?

Seriously, why? Everyone knows that the chips and salsa are the best part of the meal.

This happens more than you'd like to admit, but sometimes the risk of contamination is worth it.

We all know the all too real pregnant belly that comes from cross contamination (and we make sure our friends do, too).

Food. We eat food. We may be gluten free, but we are still humans. We like food and Netflix and chillin' as much as the next person.

Wish this wasn't true.

The most tragic moment of going out to eat. Sadness? Anger? Can't decide.

It never helps that your friends proceed to offer you some of the cheese, which you still can't eat (cross-contamination, duh).

One of my biggest regrets in life. Lesson learned, never assume something is gluten free. Never.
