I totally agree with Annie's Macaroni & Cheese... I DID NOT want the kids to have any. I wanted it all for myself. heheh. I am a huge beer fan so it's been a change at BEST to switch to cider but cider SUCKS. Most gluten-free beers out there plain SUCK unless you're into a bud/lite beer substitute. I couldn't drink bud with my nose plugged and...

ARCHIVED Oh Joy! 2 Part Vent: 1) Kitchen Helpers; 2) Bread That Sucks
MsQuel posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
VENT 1: OMG kitchen "helpers" please DO NOT help me cut my bread into slices on my cutting boards. When I have a French loaf out as a courtesy, I usually cut it on top of the paper to minimize cross-contamination. Then I throw the paper away and it never touches anything but knife and plates which I deem clean enough (Hail Mary) when I sanitize them... -
ARCHIVED Should I Throw Out My Colander And Cutting Board?
MsQuel replied to Kias4's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My doctor told me to do this. She also told me to buy my OWN toaster and sometimes, if I was bad for reactions, my own microwave. Instead, I use the same toaster oven/micro. I have my own shelf for my own toast which no one is allowed to use. I didn't 100% take her advice though. I'm sorry I didn't. But I don't have the money. One thing I did was... -
ARCHIVED Minimisation By Family/friends.
MsQuel replied to Chrissie32's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I honestly think... people say really DUMB things to try to make you "feel better" or "be positive." They are all well meaning but rather silly and deep down they are glad they don't have celiac and hope they never do. Even my ob/gyn tried to minimize celiac as "no big deal" and "everyone's getting diagnosed" to even have the ladyballs to try to tell... -
This is primarily a women's health question so if you find this topic too personal, you've been warned! HOWEVER, I sincerely hope by posting that a lot of these issues come to light, as I don't want to be out of commission forever with gut issues that effect my other organs. I have had chronic UTI's, yeast infection, and overall skin irritation in my...

ARCHIVED Kudos To Costco
MsQuel replied to TGK112's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Ours also has a gluten-free chicken nugget (yum yum yum) that is in a 3 lb frozen bag. I am told that this is a close out but the reason is unclear WHY (could be on the grounds that it's being discontinued or could be something else like packaging change or configuration change). One of the things I MISS MOST is the ability to drive through a fast food... -
ARCHIVED How To Deal With Servers Who Don't Think Celiac Is Real
MsQuel replied to ChelseaS's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Hi, I just wanted to chime in. I think it's BS that so many restaurants either try to sell themselves as having "gluten free" options (but we can't trust their spatulas, their re-used pans/griddles/knives)OR they know they can't and they try to disclaim liability as in Domino's Pizza (they cannot promise you a gluten-free experience because they know...
