Gluten Gambit: A Risky Recipe for Family Drama!
I ATA for giving my gluten-free mother gluten without telling her so my mother and I don’t have a great relationship throughout my life she has pushed all kinds of fad diets self-help flavored fads and even conversion therapy via the troubled teen industry on me Shez never apologized for any of it despite me telling her how much it all messed me up.
I still haven’t mustered the guts up to go no contact because she’s still married to my dad who I do get along with and generally like well I recently moved to a new place in a really nice area because I just got a really nice new job suddenly my mom really wants to come and visit and see me I do my best to make up excuses but she pushes so.
Hard that eventually I cave one of the things I’ve been doing since moving into my new place is a lot of cooking because I have a nice big kitchen all to myself I love weird food and finding new ways to get protein in my diet without using meat something I’ve had a lot of fun making lately is latio it’s probably not weird to some people but to my sheltered.
American Self it was funky as hell and I love the idea of it so I started making it from scratch and discovered that I love it well my mom and dad got here yesterday afternoon evening and settle in and we start talking about dinner as usual mom has to pick after looking at online menus for a couple hours to make sure they fit with her dietary.
Requirements she ends up picking a vegan restaurant that’s across town but she’s just so tired from the drive up she can’t fathom getting back in the car so Dad and I agree to go pick it up while she rests driving across my new city is a long process which I told her ahead of time and it’s a little over an hour later when we get home with a vegan.
Gluten-free food she wanted she’s not vegan but she is adamantly gluten-free and has been for a few years now we get inside and as I am opening the food in the kitchen I noticed the Pyrex Snapware container of latio that was in my fridge is now empty In My Sink she even dumped out the sauce that I’d been soaking them in I asked her if she’d eaten something.
Out of my fridge while we were gone and she said that yes she had eaten some chicken because she was getting laded from Hunger but it was terrible and she was so ready for some real food now this is where I might have been the instead of telling her what she had actually eaten I just rolled my eyes and dished up the food for everyone and we.
Ate she continued to remark about how bad and oily the chicken was and how relieved she was to finally eat something substantial throughout the rest of the evening my dad kept trying to change the subject and she kept coming back to it I finally snapped when she brought it up again first thing this morning when I was picking them up from.
Their hotel I asked them where they wanted to go for breakfast and my mom made a joke about not wanting me to cook them breakfast because she didn’t want more oily chicken or something to that effect I finally said Mom that was homemade latio and I don’t understand why you ate all of it if you hated it so much she asked me what latio is and I.
Explained that it’s just vital wheat gluten and water steamed and soaked in sauce I practically watched as her face dropped and sure enough within 30 minutes her stomach was killing her and she was having difficulty breathing and needed to go to the emergency room the whole time we were there she went on and on to the nurses and doctors about how.
I’d fed her gluten and not told her until it was too late for her to take her medicine and crying because now the whole trip was ruined mind you this is the hospital where I work my Dad pulled me aside to tell me he was disappointed that I hadn’t spoken up last night and how what I’d done not only hurt my mother’s feelings but also put her help.
And safety at risk he asked me to go home and think about my actions and give my mother some space and now I’m just sitting here alone in my cool new place feeling like a dick and super anxious about what work is going to be like next week I’m torn because I don’t think it’s my fault that she ate my food without talking to me first but I’d be lying if.
I said I didn’t omit the information about what she’d eaten because I was pissed at her and just didn’t want to discuss it further I also didn’t expect it to make her so sick so a on to the update update ATA forgiving gluten to my gluten-free mother without telling her just got home so after everything went down this morning I went.
Back to the hospital to check on my parents my mom was sleeping and still in the Ed and so I got to talk to my dad and the doctor a bit my dad still thought I should apologize I told him I would when she woke up when I talked to the doctor a bit I started asking about testing I asked if they done a test for the specific kind of imunoglobulin.
Present in kiac when someone has gluten and she said she actually hadn’t needed to because apparently my mom had that test done in the past with her PCP the doctor asked me if I worked in the medical field and I told her that yes I worked in the lab she then volunteered a bit more information than she probably should have but I’m glad she did because.
I feel a bit better she had managed to get my mom’s lab results faxed over and looked them over apparently my mom’s TTG IG was low enough that it was absolutely clear that my mother does not have coeliac disease the doctor had offered to refer her for a biopsy which is standard procedure for confirmation of kiac and my mother.
Declined I later confirmed with my dad that it was because she didn’t think it was worth it to go through all the expense and pain of surgery to confirm something she already knows or furthermore according to the nurse my mother was given lorazapam which he told me was for her stomach pain and nausea he actually put this in air quotes with.
His fingers in case you are not familiar with lorazapam it is a benzo that is also used as an anti psychotic anti-anxiety sedative along with gastro symptoms apparently the medicine my mom was talking about was some kind of holistic herbal thing cherry on top is that the nurse is Chinese and loves latio and I now have a new work friend I.
Thanked them for all their help and they indicated that she was ready to be discharged my dad was not inclined to wake her up but I explained that there were other people waiting that needed to be seen and they couldn’t be seen if there were no open beds I then asked the doctor if she could write my mom a script for Mor lorazapam which she.
Agreed to which seemed to Plate my dad I wheeled my mom out to my car she was high as hell and going on and on about how she couldn’t believe that I’d poisoned her and if I wasn’t her daughter I’d be going to prison I just apologized didn’t offer any excuses when I got them to their hotel and my mom was waiting on a couch in the lobby while my.
Dad grabbed her bags from car I told my dad it was probably better if they just go home I’m not going to lie I got a little emotional he agreed so yeah based on the lab work and the way the Ed staff were acting I’m convinced my mom was faking for sympathy and attention not that it matters because my dad will always support her no matter what I’m.
