A letter writer prefers that people around her not disclose that she has celiac disease.
I have celiac disease. I don’t parade that information around, but I’m not trying to hide it, either. When someone offers me something that I cannot eat, I just decline by saying, “No, thank you,” and often the situation is taken care of.
Is there a polite way to firmly decline food, even when the person offering thinks it is safe for me? Is there anything I can do?of you to ascribe good intentions to a person who blabbed about your medical history and put you in the position of being rude to your host. I make excuses every time, but they keep calling. Some get the hint and stop the calls, but most don’t. Any advice on how to dissuade these people?My husband is an early bird and goes to bed every night at 9. His nighttime routine starts at 8.
