  1. I want to clarify one point. It's not that I 'expcted' my husband to communicate this to them so much as it was the fact that he was on the phone with them a few days before our trip, and when I walked in, he said, "Mom wants to know what you need from the store." I interpreted this to mean he had told her about my being gluten-free and she wanted to stock...
  2. Thank you, each of you, for taking the time to respond with your individual perspectives. I truly appreciate it. I think there are overlapping issues to consider from last week, from my husband's passivity in not informing his mother before we arrived, to the fact that I did not speak up as soon as I was being treated in a manner I wasn't comfortable with...
  3. When compared to your MIL, who was willing to put some gluten in your food as a "test," you're right. Mine wasn't as bad. She did seem to completely understand the medical need for me to be off gluten. I think she really doesn't handle change well. And, it was a complete disruption to her routine for us to show up having changed our diet and not being...
  4. I am so sad right now, and disappointed. I have known my husband's family for sixteen years. And, although his mother can "have her moments" of being snippy, I have always gotten along very well with her. We visit once a year (sometimes twice). We stay at their house b/c they live out of state and would never want us to stay in a hotel. I try so hard...
  5. Thank you. That clarifies a question that popped up but I didn't ask. However, I should have also clarified that the allergy shots I've been getting are not for food allergies but for environmental ones (grasses, mite/mold, etc). [don't know if that makes a difference in responding to my original post or not.]
  6. Thank you for the comic relief. I really needed it this morning. I was having a little pity party about coping with diagnosis. :-)
  7. I have been getting allergy shots for the past month, and I only went off gluten a week ago. Here's what I'm wondering... If allergy shots are supposed to trigger an immune system response in order to build up your tolerance to the allergen, can they be successful if they are being administered when the patient's immune system is weakened (ie. a patient...
  8. Thank you so much Mushroom. You just confirmed what I had been thinking- face the truth I already know (or know fully now) and move forward with a gluten free life, healthy life.
  9. I'd like to make this as brief as possible, but I'm not sure how well I'll succeed in that effort. Bear with me. I am very optimistic in the possibility that I may have found the missing piece of a puzzle I didn't know I was putting together. Ok...here's what I know. I was a very sickly baby. My mom said I had been diagnosed with "malabsorption syndrome...
