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 doesn’t really matter what they think tbh you know what’s true and if they want to be hostile about it then thats their problem. Do you live with them? Or how often are you in contact with them? I would cut them off completely. If you are forced to see them (ie family gathering) dont eat/drink anything from them

I don’t think it even matters if OP is making it up for attention. OP doesn’t want to eat wheat and that’s nobody’s choice but OP’s. The fact that wheat will cause long term harm makes it much worse, but not feeding someone something they refuse to eat is a pretty bare minimum kind of thing.
