I have had quite a few of the same problems as you. I have had family members basically laugh at me and say things like "oh sorry for you!!lol" and "why cant you just eat it and deal with it" kind of crap.

I don't get lettuce in fear of cc from them handling tortillas previously. Perhaps people are reacting to something they didn't know they had an allergy/intolerance to. I stopped getting...

Sorry to hear you got glutened...I did too last night. It was the first time I ate at someone elses home. I won't tell my mother in law because she was wonderful and went out of her way to make me gluten-free brownies and bought some gluten-free rice...I am not sure how it happened (it could have been how they prepared/marinated the meat or what she used...
