How to navigate traditional family meals when dietary needs conflict

Our extended family gatherings have become tense because my grandmother insists on cooking everything the traditional way, but some of us have dietary restrictions now and others have adopted different eating practices. We all love her and don't want to hurt her feelings, but we also can't participate fully in family meals anymore and it's creating this unspoken divide.

More people experience this than they realize.
