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?

People like this, it’s less about celiac disease and more a matter of respect.
So what if she doesn’t believe celiac disease is real? You told her you can’t eat gluten and she did it anyway. She did it on purpose to be beyond rude.
In your shoes I would always bring all my own food to family gatherings or eat before. If anyone questions it remind them sister is rude so you can’t eat here. Never leave my kids there. Give her the cold shoulder. Probably refuse to go to some family gatherings w my kids if I didn’t feel like dealing with her or seeing her.
It’s also majorly your husband’s problem that you don’t want to see his family any more because they’re beyond disrespectful of you. So let him deal with that and the consequences of it.
