Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I feel for you...I know how that goes. After almost a year I still have trouble with our families. My husband's mom is great about it. My family on the other hand is just starting to get it. They have said some very similar things to me. My dad used to tell me what a baby I was and that it was just in my head. ???? My sister's husband used to get mad at me and even curse at me because I couldn't eat at certain places that he wanted to and/or would get sick a lot. He has since learned a lot from my supportive sister and has been much much nicer to me about everything. So, I guess I don't really know how to deal with it either. It used to make me cry because I felt like no one understands what I have to go through everyday and then I get a barrage of uncalled for comments come at me. Hopefully with time it will get better and just keep doing what you are doing. Maybe give them some reading to do. I send our families Emails all of the time when I come across something that I think they might read and/or pay attention to. Good luck with that. I know how you feel and hang in there. It will get better. Rhiannon > > Well, the in-laws came over tonight. This was their first " visit " > since the diagnosis. I've spoken with them on the phone, but not > face to face.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Educate! Educate! Educate! I'm a nursing student and my classmates have been taught (over and over) about my " food issues " . Many of them still don't get it, but not for lack of trying on my part. Try not to give too much information at once. Some people can't absorb very much at one time. If they are having trouble with the diagnosis give them the basics and don't allow your children any time with them without you. If they desire time with the grandkids they might ask some questions. In that case they may learn more because it was their idea. How long since the diagnosis? It does get better. We were diagnosed last year and I'm seeing great improvement in the attitudes of past sceptics in our midst. Once they saw the improvement is my children's overall health they came around. Good luck! Keep your head up! -Schuyler > > Well, the in-laws came over tonight. This was their first " visit " > since the diagnosis. I've spoken with them on the phone, but not > face to face.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Sympathizing. It’s hard to educate people who refuse to learn. Two thoughts come to mind which might not be a help. One, if it was my problem (and it might become one of mine—who knows?), I would have my sister take out the offender…oh, ahem… I mean, I would ask another member of my family who IS sympathetic to wrestle down, um…assume the educator role. The second thought is just to encourage you in setting the boundaries you need to set to keep your family safe. A report to your inlaws of the medical problems resulting from the dog dander (accompanied by a copy of the medical bill?), and a sad declaration that they won’t be able to visit as long as the problem persists is the appropriate boundary here (in my amateur opinion).

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 And one more thought before I stop thinking and go to bed.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Two suggestions: 1. You become such a good GF cook that they come begging for your food (that tactic actually works.) 2. You buy a copy of Green's " Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic " book for them. Just reading the editorial description and reviews scares the wits out of me in terms of the seriousness of the diagnosis. Green is a physician and is the director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University. Just my experience (and sterotype), but inlaws seem to be of the generation that believe everything physicians tell them.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Some people, especially older generations, just dont get it. When i was 3 or 4 yrs old, my mother caught her father feeding me cookies at a family party. When my mom said I couldnt' eat those he said, " She's not over that yet? " And my aunts always thought that if something was organic it was OK for me to eat. They are getting better, 20 yrs later! > > Well, the in-laws came over tonight.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Wow! Reading this digest makes me appreciate how LUCKY I am! I was diagnosed 7 years ago, and am pretty used to living g-f. I travel, eat out, etc, and actually have stopped thinking about my next meal all the time. I have 4 grown children and 8 grandchildren. I love to take trips with any of them. Went to Hawaii with #3 son and his wife and 3 kids. He was so considerate, wouldn't stop to eat at a place where he thought I couldn't get a g-f meal. Finally, I told him to go anywhere, I can always find something. I ate a lot of salads, and when they cooked in the condo, I had visited health food stores locally, and just nuked an Amy's dinner. Everything went very smoothly. I haven't had a reaction for over a year, more like 2 years, and can't really figure out what caused that one. But I am so fortunate that all my friends and family are on the alert for me. I go out to lunch with a walking group after we walk on Saturdays. If they should happen to see " wheat-free " anything on a menu, they always bring it to my attention. One place, they found " wheat-free pasta " on a menu and I wasn't there. We went back a few months later and when I asked the waitress what that pasta was made from, she replied " spelt " ! You can't be too careful. We are going back there in a month or so, any suggestions as to what I should say? I'd like to get them to take the " wheat-free " of the menu, but I'm not sure how to approach it. I have never had anyone tell me that CD is all in my head, or any other demeaning comments. I am counting my blessings for all my wonderful family and friends.
