He brought back a huge haul of pastries- not only do our daughters 17 and 13 need to watch their weight (and he is about 4 stone overweight too) I cannot eat gluten.
It's not just a few treats - it two bags of donuts, pies, bread and custard donut things.
there are a couple of oat biscuits but I think they've got wheat in them. I have just really found out I have Crohn's disease and it is making me feel quite low that I can't enjoy the foods I used to. I have been trying to avoid wheat and some dairy products for awhile now because I noticed they were causing issues with my stomach. I've been really careful about my diet over the last few years and I was hoping to enjoy the old donut on holiday but obviously I can't. Am I being unreasonable to be angry at this?

Do you mean coeliac's? Crohn's isn't affected by gluten.

P.S both my daughters are healthy just they are pushing the getting to overweight stage and I don't want to make them feel self conscious - I'm trying to make sure they have healthy choices now.

If your daughters are very nearly overweight, are you sure they’re healthy?
