ARCHIVED Favorite Make-up And Skin Care
Mango04 replied to lindalee's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yeah this stuff is great because it does not even feel like you are wearing makeup. You can also mix and match shades if you need a customized color for your skin. I just use one though (fairly light) and it works great. My skin is covered in acne scars and the foundation provides coverage and does not make me break out. You can buy a trial pack that comes... -
ARCHIVED Sodium Laurel Sulfates
Mango04 replied to lindalee's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This is so intriguing to me. I can't believe how much toxic junk is hidden in our body care products. I've been switching to more organic brands lately and all sorts of weird skin problems I have have been going away..... I've been using Aubrey Organics Rosa Mosqueta shampoo. I actually really like it, especially compared to other natural shampoos... -
ARCHIVED Going To Denver Tonight
Mango04 replied to VegasCeliacBuckeye's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for the suggestions Juliem. I can't wait to try these places out...and I really can't wait to drag my friends around to all of these gluten-free places! It'll be a great opportunity to prove to them that I do in fact eat food! -
ARCHIVED Wheat Free Orange Chicken?
Mango04 replied to Dianamiester's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It can be made with cornstarch instead of flour. I had it that way once and couldn't even tell the difference. -
ARCHIVED Going To Denver Tonight

Yeah I believe it was hydrogenated. Hydrogenated coconut oil is nothing like the pure organic real stuff. There were studies done years and years ago that determined coconut oil was harmful, but the studies used hydrogenated oil. -
ARCHIVED Amys Products
Mango04 replied to Lister's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
There's always a risk of CC whenever you buy a packaged product, but I do trust Amy's. I believe they take precautions when it comes to CC. If you do react, take into consideration that it could be from the dairy (if you are just now reintroducing it) or the soy. -
ARCHIVED Amys Products
Mango04 replied to Lister's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I do fine with Amy's. -
If I understand correctly I think the dizziness is caused by too much potassium. I don't know if there's a connection between low blood pressure and high potassium, or if both cause dizziness. I'll need to look into this more. Okay I just searched and it appears that low blood pressure is associated with high potassium, which makes sense. Hmmm...

It happened to me constantly when I was on Yasmin bc pills. It got to the point where I thought it was normal. But then it got really intense to the point where standing up was completely unbearable , so I switched to a different brand of bc pills. Now the coconut water is causing the exact same effect. The only connection I can think of is the potassium...

Thanks for the insight. I better not have a coconut allergy That would be tragic
-
Hmmm...It says 14g of sugars. The only ingredient is coconut water. I didn't think of that though. It's a really strange dizzy. It's very intense and I black out for a second when I stand up.
-
Coconut water is apparantly very high in potassium. I've been drinking ONE Coconut water for the past few days and it's been making me really dizzy. It's the same feeling I used to get when I was on Yasmin, which apparantly alters your potassium levels as well. Does this mean my potassium levels are too high? Is it something to be concerned about...

ARCHIVED Pasta Salad Recipe
Mango04 replied to JenAnderson's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I cook mine for a little longer than it says to. You can really cook Tinkyada for a long time before it gets soggy. -

ARCHIVED Cosmetics-shampoos, Etc
Mango04 replied to Lisa's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Cool! Thanks! I think I'll try more of thier makeup. I really like the masacara becasue it doesn't smudge or irritate my eyes at all...although I do find it doesn't quite wash off as easily as they say it does. But hey, it's gluten-free, so I won't complain! -
ARCHIVED Cosmetics-shampoos, Etc
Mango04 replied to Lisa's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I know that foundation is the best! I use Ecco Bella mascara, which is great. I haven't verified with the company that it's gluten-free, but it only has a few straightforward ingredients so I think it's okay. Open Original Shared Link -

ARCHIVED Vegetarian Vs Eating Meat
Mango04 replied to schuyler's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
That's true. In the context of human evolution, people have only been eating wheat for a very short period of time. It's not a natural food for humans to consume. -
ARCHIVED Breakfast I Need Something That Sticks With Me
Mango04 replied to skinnyminny's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
No water???? That guys sounds psycho. I agree on the avocado idea. It sounds strange but scrambled eggs with avocado is really good and filling too. -
ARCHIVED All-natural Deodorant?
Mango04 replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just have to announce that I finally found the best "natural" deodorant. Yay. Aubrey Organics E Plus High C is awesome. Yes, it is sad that I'm excited about a deodorant related discovery, but I was about to resort to the nasty aluminum stuff again before I found this one The grain alcohol in it is derived from corn, and the stuff acutally works for... -
