(((jbug)) - I can understand how this hurt you..not feeling understand. If this was someone else who was younger you could certainly handle this much different but like you said she's very old and set in her ways. Maybe you or your mother could print out some info on 'Celiac Disease' and explain this is a true medical problem -a serious illness. It could be she doesn't have any idea about what this is and instead thinks you're just dieting. So you or your mom can educate her and see if this helps. Don't let it worry you though.
