Supplements for the Gluten Free Athlete-Glutamine Edition
Here’s a shocker-I have a fitness background. In the fitness world, there is something that is affectionately referred to as “bro-science.” Interestingly enough, there is actually a definition for “bro-science” at urbandictionary.com. “Broscience is the predominant brand of reasoning in bodybuilding circles where the anecdotal reports of jacked dudes are considered more credible than scientific [...]

I have a guest post restaurant review up over at the Gluten Free Post. Thanks Jay!
Gluten Free Fitness and Wellness Podcast-Episode 1. Ready to Rock it –Celiac Style
Today I’m going to give you a bit of information about me, and what we’re going to be covering in the podcast. I’d love to hear your feedback about what you would like to hear about, so things will be flexible according to the feedback you give me!
-My history-my education, my fitness background, and my celiac diagnosis
-My philosophy –celiac disease as a gift, not a burden. Eating well to live well-importance of good food and the impact on our health, outlook and life quality.
-My goal for the podcast-to bring science based information and put it into a very fun and easy to understand format. To interview experts in the field and get their take on what they feel is important to know. To compile and explain information as it becomes known relating to gluten intolerance and celiac disease. To share my ideas of what can help you live a healthier live-and do it more easily. To answer questions and provide resources.
Gluten Free Snack Product Review-Boomi and Prana Bars
Living gluten free can sometimes prove challenging to having “grab and go” type snacks. I did go over a few of my favorites in my “top 10 portable gluten free snack” article. However, I know sometimes the urge to snatch a prepackaged treat off the shelf can hit. For those occasions, the folks at Divine [...]
Todays’s Cage Match-Gluten Free-”Diet” vs. Lifestyle
Living gluten free has received quite a bit of mainstream press lately. The Dr. Oz feature of course comes to mind, and there was a 12 page special report in USA today in November, and numerous other articles in publications including the NY Times. With the rising awareness of a gluten free “diet” comes increased [...]
Excuse me sir, there’s sugar in my…..
In the past two days, two things happened that really lit a fire under my butt. The first-well, let me set the stage for you. I love vegetables. Really and truly, I’m a freak that way. I don’t like okra. Too slimy. Aside from that, I love me some veggies. I eat a lot of [...]
Gluten Free Dairy Free Protein Bar-”Kind of a Recipe”-Trail Mix bars!
It was time. Time to attempt a protein bar with one of the non-dairy proteins. I was a little scared, to be honest. Whey protein is very friendly when it comes to baking gluten free, and I wasn’t sure how the rice protein would react. (I decided to use the rice protein instead of gemma [...]
Gluten Free Sports Nutrition Product Review-Dairy Free edition! True Protein Gemma and Rice Protein Powders
Ah, protein powder. The words that polarize, the food product that can be a sweet treat, or a necessary evil. I have used many different brands and flavors of protein powder over the years, with varying results. Some have been great, others have had me struggling to reach the bottom of the canister. (Yet I [...]
Gluten Free and Dairy Free Protein Powder 101-Sports Nutrition for Celiacs
I’ve heard this question several (OK, many) times in the past year. What gluten and dairy free protein supplement do you recommend? And quite honestly, I was flummoxed. Although I have celiac disease, I have not had to contend with dairy sensitivity. I have always used whey or casein proteins, which are milk-based. Whey protein [...]
Birthdays and Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes-Heaven on Earth (Kind of a Recipe)
Some of you may have already heard that yesterday was my birthday. Life is good-I received many birthday wishes on Facebook, Twitter, and my friend Kim at Gluten Free is Life, gave me a birthday shout out on her blog. Yesterday was Kim’s (and her mom’s!) birthday as well. I had a wonderful day, and [...]
