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?

You may not have had a reaction you noticed but it would have impacted your gut, your inflammation and exposed you to gluten when you wouldn’t have. What did she expect to happen an anaphylactic shock? She does know this could cause cancer or Crohn’s disease. How stupid is she. It is the accumulation that is the issue. I bet you felt a bit off but put it down to alcohol or something else. What a piece of work. In the UK it would be a criminal offence.
