ARCHIVED I Need Info On Restaurants On Italy, France And Spain
Mango04 replied to Pegasus's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Don't overlook grocery stores/supermarkets/farmer's markets as places to get food when you travel, even if you won't be able to cook. Anywhere in Europe, you can run into a supermarket and quickly pick up gluten free things to eat for meals that don't need to be cooked. -
ARCHIVED Struggling To Cope With Boyfriend's Mother
Mango04 replied to nikky's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You can just keep your food issues away from your boyfriend's mother. Don't cook at her house or eat with her, and if she tries to bring up the subject of food just tell her you're not comfortable talking about your personal health issue and would rather keep it to yourself. If it's a holiday or something an you have to eat a family dinner with her, bring... -
ARCHIVED San Diego Travels - Looking For Restaruants
Mango04 replied to Darissa's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
If you make it to the Del Mar area (it's not near Old Town but a nice place to visit) I'd recommend Rendezvous. It's a really great Chinese restaurant with a gluten-free menu. -

ARCHIVED Living Off On Canned Foods, Is It Safe?
Mango04 replied to George Knighton's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I just want to add that I think it takes no time at all to cook dried beans. I soak them when I get up in the morning. It takes about one minute to put them in a pot and fill the pot with water. Then I leave the house all day. When I get home at night I drain the water from the pot, add fresh water, and bring to a boil. It takes a few minutes. Then... -
I consider myself extremely sensitive to lactose and casein, but for some reason pharmaceutical-grade lactose in medication doesn't seem to affect me at all. You might be okay with it, too.

ARCHIVED How Can Ya Manage School Lunch?
Mango04 replied to Gimpwithacause's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Corn tortillas are great for lunch. You can put anything in them - tuna, lunch meats, veggies and hummus....anything works. Heat them up before you make "sandwiches" with them. You can wrap them in foil so they stay together. (It doesn't matter if they aren't still warm when you eat them...warming them just helps them to not crumble). It helps to have... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-Free In Germany, Paris, And Vilnius
Mango04 replied to Fiddle-Faddle's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Germany is really easy. I once found gluten free bread for sale at the Dresden train station. Be sure to look for food in the drug stores (Rossman, DM, etc.) I've had a lot of luck in France too. Can't remember the names of specific places....just remember not having any problems grabbing gluten, dairy and soy-free food. If you can stop at drug stores... -
ARCHIVED Will We Ever Be Able To Travel?
Mango04 replied to lovesaceliac's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I travel a lot. The same rules you go by at home apply when you're traveling. If you're not sure it's safe, don't eat it. You don't need to eat at restaurants. I've survived without kitchens it strange places. Assuming you're in some sort of town or city, it's always possible to find a grocery store, market etc. where you can get fruit, veggies and... -
ARCHIVED Hello In San Francisco!
Mango04 replied to Ben Y.'s topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I'm moving to San Francisco soon. It's a great city to be gluten-free! I like The Plant Cafe Organic and Amici's pizza. -
ARCHIVED 2Nd Day gluten-free And Bloated
Mango04 replied to AMom2010's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It's wayyyy too early to tell. You could still be feeling the effects from gluten you ate several weeks ago. Give it a good month (at least) before you decide if it works for you or not. -
I've never had trouble bringing food into the UK from other countries. The UK is one of the most food allergy-friendly countries I have ever been to. You will have a wide variety of options at restaurants and grocery stores.

ARCHIVED Glutened By White Wine - Really?
Mango04 replied to ndw3363's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't know where you're from or what else you might be sensitive to, but in other countries I've been to, there are labels on some white wines that say "contains casein." I'd assume there's a possibility that some white wine can contain milk protein in the US as well. Our labeling laws are just really behind a lot of other places. Not encouraging... -
ARCHIVED Your Top Two Pieces Of Advice
Mango04 replied to Korwyn's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
1. Other people (regardless of who they are or where you are) are not responsible for understanding your diet and providing you with food. Ever. You're now the only person who's responsible for that. Thinking this way will make your life much easier and save you a lot of disappointment at social events, when traveling etc. (Don't worry though, you will... -
ARCHIVED What Are The Easiest Countries To Live Gluten-Free?
Mango04 replied to KevinG's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I would imagine that you'd have a fairly easy time in any of the four countries you mentioned. I second Australia and England being extremely easy places to live and eat gluten-free. -
ARCHIVED I Don't Like Mayo! But I Want To Try To Like It...
Mango04 replied to GlutenFreeManna's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
If you miss cheese try Daiya, recipes with cashews (blended into a creamy sauce), nutritional yeast and/or Parma (raw dairy-free "cheese") sorry that doesn't help you w/ the jar of mayo... -
ARCHIVED Butter Substitute For Baking

Earth Balance -
I like to just go ahead and contact the caterer directly so the bride doesn't have an extra thing to worry about. I've never come across one who wasn't accommodating.
-
That would have been my original guess but who knows. Any other ESL teachers out there in the celiac world care to come forward?

I have to post simply because I'm the third ESL teacher here so far. Is there some sort of connection between gluten and ESL that I'm unaware of?

ARCHIVED What Do You Do When You Are Dairy And Soy Intolerant As Well?
Mango04 replied to norahsmommy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Like Tiffany said, you don't need them. But, you can get some good substitutes these days. So Delicious (coconut) for yogurt and ice cream. Earth Balance (soy free) for butter. Daiya for cheese. You can also make really tasty raw versions of creamy things with cashews. -
ARCHIVED Motts Fruitsations Apple Sauce
Mango04 replied to Cheryl-C's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Are you in a country other than the US? (I notice your spelling of flavoUr) If so, make sure you are checking info specific to your country. Labeling laws and ingredients in a product vary greatly from country to country (even when it comes to the exact same product with the exact same name). -
