I agree with gluten-free Mann's advice above.

You're a nurse, you get it. You can educate people, and you've tried to educate him.

He's either with you or against you in this battle. What has he shown so far?

Only you know how far you're willing to stick that line out that he continualy stomps on.

Free advice is worth what you pay for it, but I'd personally eliminate him before I'd giveup the gluten-free diet and lifestyle. Sorry.

He promised in sickness and in health, right? If he can't keep his promise in sickness with a pretty easy solution, my guess is that he definitely isn't worth the long haul. I've had a few major mistakes land in my life involving marriage. I can't say I'm not jaded, but I would bring out the big sharp tongue annd spell things out to him in no uncertain terms.

If you don't like verbal confrontation, type up how you're feeling about his abuse. (Sorry, he is abusing you.) Use a big font.

There are studies that show that verbal and visual presentations of information increase retention by over 70 percent. (Wharton School of Business, Harvard...)

Maybe give that a whirl before you start divorce action. He could be worthwhile but have a learning defecit.

what is it with men and bread-boards / crumbs? Mine just doesn't get it, and my six-year old is following in his footsteps. Am thinking of banning bread full stop. Good luck!!

If the bread is a "man issue", you don't buy it. It can be kept in the "man's domain". The garage! Or the dog house!

Good point, Karen. And he can pick up gluten at all the fast food spots in town without having to contaminate the kitchen. :D

Maybe you don't have to ban the man. Just ban the gluten. The first year is the toughest, it get's better.

      @sillyyak52, If it makes you feel any better, I have a sibling who thinks the dinner table (at fine dining restaurants, and less formal pub grub settings etc.) is a personal buffet table and dips into the food of whoever is sitting beside or opposite to them just to get a taste (no plate is safe!) ... never asks for permission ... and has no consideration of gluten cross contamination even though I've explained it diplomatically with articles, pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis (which I've had for years) like @knitty kitty and I both suggest you do. I avoid that sibling at restaurants now and sit at the opposite end of the table out of arms reach! I've had similar treatment at a recent siblings 60th BBQ with family and friends (brought my own food and burger), where I was told (in a very rude manner) "tough luck, there's nowhere safe ... just cook your burger on the BBQ" which was cross contaminated ... I stood my ground and asked for a clean frying pan to cook my burger safely and separately.

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.
