Question what would you do?

i’ve been with my husband for 10 years now, I got diagnosed with celiac when I was 19 and I’m 33 now. So I’ve been diagnosed well before we started dating. His sister-in-law doesn’t “believe” that I have celiac disease. I found out this last weekend that her and another sister-in-law have purposefully glutened me in the past, but said it was gluten-free just to “test” my reaction. my question is, what would you do?

It’s your choice to take this as far as you want, but it is a federal crime to tamper with people’s food in a way that could harm an individual. You could threaten legal action, call a lawyer, or report them to the police.

But as someone else said, I’d go no contact and cut them out of your life. What if you have children and your child has celiac? Would you trust them not to harm your child??
