Gluten-Free Athletes

As a college athlete, I am always on the go. Whether it is running to classes, practices or an extra study session, I rarely catch a break. Because of my busy schedule and expectations to always be on my A game sticking to my diet is IMPERATIVE!! Having celiac means that my body does not digest gliadin and glutenin properly so my body reacts with a variety of symptoms. It is always so important for me to stick to my diet especially the days leading up to game day because of the symptoms. Who would want to be tired on game day?!

Here’s a gluten-free protein bar for some pregame fuel!!

Also, an article my coach sent me that encouraged this post!!
