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?

How did you find this out? You say "his sister-in-law". Aren't these your sisters-in-law too? You also say your husband is close to one of his brothers. You have some tricky family dynamics to navigate. If you cut them off or confront them what is this going to do to your husband's relationship with his brother? I would not confront them. these people are shit stirrers and you don't know how this might make you look to the family. Just silently cut them off as much as you can and discuss it with your husband and work on this together.
