Now I get they are my family.. and yes I still live with them because at the moment I am really sick and on a sick leave from my job because I am not able to go in because of how sick I am. The problem here is that my family either does not believe I'm sick or likes to make me sicker.
So I have a stomach ulcer, and I am on acid suppressing medication. My mother cooks and does not believe im sick. Even though the doctor even told them I was. Anyway, so every time they make me food they always put something that makes my ulcer pain come back.. and every time my doc keeps saying thats the reason its not healing cause it gets irritated again.
For example (this happens a lot) they gave me potatoes and when I ate it I had horrible burning pain, finding out my mom snuck in spicy pepper juice (just on mine). I hold my stomach in agony and run for the pain meds and my mom and brother yell at me saying "stop being dramatic" now I know they are my family and have to respect them and I am really trying.
Another time I caught my mom and my brother down stairs putting hot sauce in my soup. When the brought it up and threw it in the toilet and just made myself something.
I know they are my family but they only do this to me.. I am really being patient with them, I tried sitting down talking with my mother at the table.. but that did not work, she got mad and called my older brother and she makes him yell at me. So just go up stairs. One time she got him so mad at me one of the people living next door called the police and they talked to them. After they left my mom ran into her room and locked the door and ignored me. And made my brother yell at me some more.
They are my family and im trying really hard to respect them. I just wonder why they try to make me more sick.. why is that?
Some people are just weird and rude about food issues. I'm sorry that your family is being that way. It's not right for them to treat you that way. You're not going to be able to change them though, so the best solution is to prepare your own food and eventually to move away from them.
The message seems very clear. For whatever reason, you are not wanted in the home. If you have no other options for housing, see to your own meals and their preparation.
You need to separate yourself from these people permanently. There is a serious mental illness in your family. If they weren't actively trying to hurt you, I'd say to try and help them, but they are literally trying to make you sick. That's insane. Get as far away from them as your finances will allow. I realize you're on leave, but they are actively trying to sabotage you.
For the time being, cook your own food until you are well again. As soon as you are back to work, find yourself an apartment. Just get out. This is not them "being mean" - this is overt hostility. By tampering with your food, they are for all intents and purposes committing assault.
If you want to have some real fun, film them and then have them criminally charged. They'd deserve it.
It doesn't sound like healthy dynamics at all. I agree with Mattie that the message seems to be that you aren't welcome. I agree with making your own meal prep for your own safety. Do you have any other options for living? Friends or such? I would not want to stay in that situation.
You say they don't believe you are sick/can't work- is there a chance they are resentful because they think you are just mooching off them? Do you contribute to the household in terms of housekeeping or landscaping or such? If not and you are able to do something, see if there are other ways (since you can't afford your own place, I'm assuming you're paying no rent) you can contribute the the household.

OP, PLEASE listen to this. Your family is very sick. GET OUT!
Not normal at all. You need to get out and take care of yourself. This is very unhealthy physically and mentally. No one should be treated like that. Your mom is very sick in the head. Please get out asap.
I know they are my family and have to respect them and I am really trying.
They are your family and obviously don't respect you. Why do you have to respect them?
I suggest you prepare your own food from now on.
