ARCHIVED Gluten-free On Long Flights?
Mango04 replied to JenKuz's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I don't know if the restrictions are different when you fly to Europe, but between here and Australia (and back) they didn't restrict any of my food, only my water. You might want to see if you can order a raw vegetarian meal, or something similiar. That way you at least have some raw fruits and veggies to go with whatever else you bring. Clif Nectar... -

ARCHIVED In Tears And Confused
Mango04 replied to jaysmom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time . That doctor sounds like a moron. celiac disease is not something people are necessarily born with and it can be diagnosed at any point in a person's life. Weight gain is often a symptom as well. When I eat gluten I gain weight and have a constant appetite. Have you tried your son on a gluten-free diet... -

Thanks for making such a tasty healthy awesome product. I guess I'm lucky I live so close to a Jimbos Everyone will just have to come visit for some ice cream LOL. Hopefully it will be available to more people soon! -
ARCHIVED Redridge Beer In San Diego?
Mango04 replied to Nancym's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I know I HATE that La Jolla shopping center. I'm always able to find parking on the roof in Hillcrest though - so if you happen to be in that area ever it's not so bad. (I actually recently drove down there from North County just to do some grocery shopping b/c I like the Hillcrest store so much I probably passed like two Jimbos, three Henry's another... -
ARCHIVED Redridge Beer In San Diego?
Mango04 replied to Nancym's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Whole Foods in Hillcrest has Redbridge, Ramapo Valley AND New Grist. :) :) I was at the Whole Foods in La Jolla as well but I forgot to look for the beer. They might have it too though. -
This is the most complex issue the board has ever faced There have been epic threads of debate about it. I don't have an answer...sorry

ARCHIVED Health Care Products
Mango04 replied to glutenfreenew's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I don't have dh but my skin reacts negatively to many products. You might want to try Kiss My Face olive oil soap. The only ingredients are olive oil and salt, and it works quite well. Instead of body lotion, I use organic unrefined coconut oil. A small jar from the health food store lasts forever. California Baby and Gluten-Free Savonnire make... -
ARCHIVED Omg...i Might Be On To Something
Mango04 replied to Rachel--24's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Hi Peace - Yeah that happened to me once for about six months. A year and a half is a long time though. It happened to me when I started eating lots and lots of soy (which I'm allergic to and now avoid). When I saw my doctor about it she just put me on a low dose bc pill, which worked, but I never really knew exactly what the problem was. I've heard cysts... -

ARCHIVED Desert Essence Organics Shampoo And Conditioner
Mango04 replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi Cathy - I'm unfortunately back in the States LOL. I can't remember if I ever saw that brand in Australia. I did notice that there were A LOT of good organic hair care type products over there that we also have in the US so maybe... -
ARCHIVED Omg...i Might Be On To Something
Mango04 replied to Rachel--24's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I don't know what the process is for you to be able to try a new food/drink, but I wonder if you should look into kombucha. It's known to help the body become more alkaline and I've read that it fights candida as well. I'm no expert on it though...I just kind of like it Whole Foods sells raw organic bottled kombucha. They also sell a really weak sugary... -
ARCHIVED Desert Essence Organics Shampoo And Conditioner
Mango04 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Just thought I'd share the news You don't see that often on a hair care product I found it at Whole Foods, then I left the shampoo isle and turned the corner and saw all three types of gluten-free beer (including Redbridge ), it was a happy Whole Foods trip -

Mango04 replied to Rachel--24's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
ditto haha. that would be too funny. maybe we should add some sort of short introduction to the beginning of the first post explaining what the thread is about? lol i dunno... Well Happy New Year everyone. I'm in front of the computer today job searching (worst thing ever) but so far I've just been reading emails and this board and uploading... -
ARCHIVED Paraben-free Make-up?

I like Bare Minerals but I want to switch to something that's paraben-free. I was thinking of trying Larenim. Just wondering if anyone has any good recommendations.... -
ARCHIVED About To Go Dairy Free And Depressed As All Get Out About It
Mango04 replied to eLaurie's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I wanted to add that if you start to miss ice cream enough to want to break your bank account www.tomberlies.com is really really really good. Just about as good as the real thing. You can also look into some raw vegan dairy substitutes. You can make all sorts of really great creamy dips and deserts with things such as raw cashews and coconut. -
ARCHIVED Day Two gluten-free
Mango04 replied to JerryK's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Some ppl bring their own gluten-free pasta (cooked or uncooked) to italian restaurants so they can still enjoy a meal with friends/family. Something else you can sometimes order at Italian places is polenta. -
Nope, no bloating at all if you use a high quality sea salt. It's really good stuff

ARCHIVED About To Go Dairy Free And Depressed As All Get Out About It
Mango04 replied to eLaurie's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
The good news is...if dairy is your problem, the cravings will most likely go away as soon as you get all the casein out of your system. It WILL be worth it to you in the long run to give up dairy if casein is causing you problems. I speak from experience LOL I also disagree that dairy is harder to give up than gluten. That wasn't the case for me... -
ARCHIVED Shool Lunches?
Mango04 replied to TygerCubs's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
What did your daughter eat for lunch before she stopped eating gluten? We might be able to come up with some substitutes that are very similiar to what she enjoyed eating pre gluten-free. -
ARCHIVED The Best Gluten-free/dairy-free/soy-free Ice Cream
Mango04 replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yep it's really really really expensive... But...a nice occasional splurge for those of us who can't do dairy or soy. You only really need a few bites too...as much as I like it I've never been able to eat an entire bowl at once... I just tried the chocolate flavor....okay but not my favorite. I don't know why but the strawberry is soooo good. Just... -
ARCHIVED The Best Gluten-free/dairy-free/soy-free Ice Cream
Mango04 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It's called Tomberlies - www.tomberlies.com You can buy it in San Diego or order it online. It will totally make you broke but the strawberry flavor is worth it. They make it with cashews, coconut and agave. It really tastes just like real creamy dairy ice cream. I've tried a few different types of raw vegan ice cream that were okay but this one... -
