STUCK
Can you possibly drink something warm before you eat? As much as I want to say,"They are just being judgemental. You don't have to say anything." I know that isn't helpful, because family is family. Papaya works for me, but my dosage says to start with 3 pills. My support group says there are many that papaya does not work for, and pineapple juice is much, much better. Got a jar you could sneak some in your purse? I guess for the sake of peace in the family, you just need to be the queen of tenny, tiny, slow bites of your dense protein, with lots of smiles and pleasant conversation. One wize person on here told me to cut my dense protein into english pea size bites and chew, chew, chew, and eat slowly. I thought my bites were small...but the suggestion worked for me. Good Luck!
