I'm not certain but if you were saying you are self diagnosed - I don't think so. You were medically diagnosed by blood and biopsy. I am sorry your family are being such jerks. Maybe if you told them how you feel? Maybe if you reminded the hub about how much gluten-free Mac and cheese costs? I cook what I want to eat so they usually eat gluten-free. Last night we had burgers, Ore Ida oven fries and cantelope. They had their burgers on Wheat buns. I don't care about a bun, so I ate mine with a fork.

Maybe a family meeting is in order? Armed with copies of your test results and some articles on Celiac Disease? With a friend or Pastor there for support? Get them to come up with ideas on how to keep you safe?

I'm sorry you have no support.    Perhaps start doing the grocery shopping and only buy gluten-free foods?  If it is not in the house it will be harder for them to eat it around you.
