Hahaha. Thanks for the jokes! I've actually never heard any celiac jokes before! Turns out there is a lighter side to it.
If I bought gluten-free beer (or cider) over the border and somehow managed to smuggle it in, is there some trick to drinking it without getting it taken away? I just... love beer. And I would prefer to drink it instead of hard liquor, if I could.
@kymess - I usually just drink whatever whiskey is around! I'm just starting to get into it now, I've been celiac for less than a year, so I won't pretend I'm an expert on it.

I know there is a whole 'booze' thread, but I found that was mostly on how to sneak in hard liquor, not necessarily beer/cider - especially in bottles. That sounds difficult.

You should pretend you are an expert in it. If there ever was a field that was vastly unknown, had a myriad of symptoms that held zero consistency from one person to the next, and most people only hear about it for the first time when you tell them "I am Celiac", it is this field.
Suzanne, Celiac MD.
See, how legit does that sound? Real legit.

Sneaking in beer and cider will not be easy by any stretch. I don't really have any tips for you, sorry.
If anyone does have some tips, please PM suzannejt instead of posting them here. Thanks.

You could always pass it off as a medical necessity.

Sorry, you are not sneaking in cold beer or cider. It's just not possible. Seriously.

Pea-gnorant time. I had no idea Celiac was the term for people who couldn't consume gluten. I figured a Celiac was some sort of mythical beast and came in here thinking someone wanted to make a troll thread ala the "Dogs at Sasquatch" thread. haha, yep me too...

Okay. No sneaking in beer or cider then! Guess I'll have to stick to the hard stuff.
Also, I do quite like the title of "Suzanne, Celiac MD". I should make myself some business cards.

With the re-entry privileges, running home mid day for a couple cold beer and maybe a nap is a reasonable thing to do anyway. Heck, I might not even drink before noon this year.
No more under-car naps for me.

You could always pass it off as a medical necessity. When we were drunkenly discussing methods of sneaking in booze last year, the nurse in the group decided she's going to bring a catheter bag and strap it to her leg and fill it with something yellow. Gross.

Glad to know I'm not the only one dealing with this at Sasquatch but it's a bummer that options are bleak! I'm really happy to know that Wildhorse has some gluten free food- we're staying there too. I think I'm going to have to go back to the campground at least once to eat during every day....and probably to drink a little since the hard liquor will most likely be ridiculous. I haven't been since '07 but even back then I think I bought some sort of daiquiri and it was $10-$12.

You should stop by our campground at Wildhorse for a gluten free beer, buddy. My girlfriend will love to have a fellow GF partner.

Absolutely! We'll have to get in touch and compare notes on our survival skills. I will probably have some hard cider and red wine on hand to swap
