Non Celiac Athletes Going Gluten Free-Is there a Performance Benefit? Part 1
My Dad handed me a Men’s Journal magazine, saying “they talk about gluten free in here.” I looked at the front cover and sure enough, there it was at the top of the cover. “No More Wheat-the Surprising New Diet for Athletes.” My very sophisticated first response was “huhmph” or something along those lines. I [...]

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week
This doesn’t have anything to do with celiac disease, per se. However, last time I checked we are all human. As such, we need to eat in order to survive. Also, we need to not eat too much in order to survive, to have maximal health, to like the way we look. Right? Food is [...]
Custom Choice (Create your Mix) Gluten Free Cereal-Product Review
I love “make your own” type stuff. I was all about the “Choose your own Adventure” books as a kid-anybody else remember those? Custom Choice Cereal is a company headquarted in North Carolina. Hajo, one of the owner/creators is from Germany, and was inspired to create Custom Choice from a similar business in Germany based [...]
The Importance of Keeping Moving: aka Don’t Pass Out on the Treadmill
Forward motion. Inertia. Sometimes, we just lose it. Get stuck. Stop. And then, bad things can happen. When I was in college I was running on a treadmill (this was before the knees got so bad that I couldn’t run) and my ponytail was coming loose. So I stopped running, put my feet on either [...]
Gluten Free and Fit 101-class is in session!
OK, not really. But kind of, in a weird virtual way. I have compiled some of my posts/articles/rants into a page that provides the “basics” of living gluten free, fit and well. As usual, I have difficulty with numbers and ended up with 12. Not 10, 12. I have a mental issue with making a [...]
Gluten Free Protein Bar Review-Zing Bars
Shockingly, the time has come. There is actually a nutrition bar that has a quality ingredient list, positive nutritional profile, and really good taste. Did I mention how good they taste? It’s AmaZing! (That’s actually part of the compant tagline, I can’t take credit for being that creative.) Zing bars were created by a team [...]

Gluten Free “Healthy” Treats-Kind of Recipes:Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies and Brownies
I’ve mentioned before my love for chocolate. I really, really like chocolate. To the point where I don’t think I’ve ever even had a flavor of ice cream that wasn’t some kind of a riff on chocolate. Really. When I plan on having a splurge, it always involves chocolate. I follow the 90/10 rule for [...]
