Welcome! I follow a mostly Paleo-esque diet with some additions-the idea of eating whole, unprocessed food, being aware of what it does to your body is a good thing. I don't agree with some things from the Paleo world, and like you have found that the addition of carbs helps with athletic performance. I will say though, that "paleo" doesn't necessarily mean low carb-but that's neither here nor there ;) Glad to know that you are feeling better, that is the most important thing, bar none! You're very welcome and I'm glad the info has been helpful. Hi Goran!

I'm first time on your web site, but I notice some great content here. Just a short story of me. A year and half ago I was 12kg overweighted and I was diagnosed with Helicobacter Pylari. Furthermore, I was diagnosed to be intolerant to lactose, soy, peanuts and apple... This was the melting point for me. I decided to take care of my nutrition and health. After that decision I started to run (long-distance) and within one year I lost 12kg and participated on two half marathons and two short runs (10km & 5km). It helped, but still I was feeling discomfort in my stomach... A month ago I found out about Paleo diet and heard about Celiac disease. I decided to try Paleo diet and after two weeks I started to notice the difference. There was no discomfort in my stomach. But before the last half marathon I've also noticed that I was lacking energy for endurance. Then I decided to change my diet with a little bit more carbs (from rice and patatos, but no grains). Now I'm feeling great, no discomfort plus my endurance is back. I haven't tested if I'm gluten intolerant yet (I only guess I'm), but since I removed gluten & lactose I don't feel discomfort anymore and I'm able to sleep even less without being tired the whole day. If this changes I'll do tests... Anyway, it's great that you provide information about gluten-free nutrition and fitness! Many thanks, Goran Hi Erin!

Unfortunately, there is no "norm." Not what you wanted to hear, I know. The good thing is that because of your age, you will likely recover more quickly than say, someone on their 40's who has been eating gluten their whole life. I would think you would start to notice improvements in your running within a few months of going gluten free, six months at the most. Also, it's important for you and your mom to coordinate with the doctors and make sure there is no more testing you need to be eating gluten for. Stick with eating well, get in lots of good nutrition, drink your water, and hang in there. It will get better. And thanks-so glad to hear that Pete and I have helped you through! Please keep me posted with how you are doing. Hi Noah!

My problem is I am a college cross country runner on scholarship, and I haven't been able to run for the past 2.5 hald weeks. I was wondering how long it usually takes for the gluten free diet to really kick in and allow me to run again like my normal self? I know it takes everybody a different amount of time to recover, but I was just wondering what the norm is? It has been really hard for me to keep up hope over these last two weeks since I have had stomach pains constanly for 2.5 weeks with it getting better and relapsing. And I wanted to let you know your site and Peter Bronski have helped to give me hope! hi,
