[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op this vacation sounds like a family nightmare!! It is sister in laws vacation home ... so HER kitchen? She’s been diagnosed with celiac but her own parents don’t believe her and her MD brother doesn’t believe her? She’s trying to keep a gluten free kitchen but her own family is now moving in for a week and they don’t even believe she has celiac? This will not go well. I would rethink!![/quote] I mean, I kind of agree with you, but I'm just the SIL, who am I to say? And plus, this was SIL's idea (maybe pushed by her husband). It's just a weekend, not a week. We will survive. They have not said they don't believe she has celiac to her face. My husband didn't even remember that she got the diagnosis until I reminded him. I think they are all a bit jaded and skeptical as she has had a very long history of extremely restricted eating and anxiety around eating, and anorexia. But previously, she did not avoid gluten, but instead she cut out anything with fat in it, like dairy, eggs, meats, butter, and oils. She also cut out sugar and used sugar substitutes like splenda. But it kind of makes sense to me that maybe there were a lot of foods that she did not react well to physically, and so it may have been a bit of a vicious cycle of avoidance and anxiety around the foods she ate.[/quote]
