These kinds of stories never get old to me. Athletes suffer from Celiac disease, find out, and then improve once they start the gluten-free diet.
Here's a story that features Cedric Benson and his Celiac challenges prior to his current Pro Bowl caliber season with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Here's another great story about a celiac quarterback who moved up the depth chart and started against Alabama.

Revisited Soccer Last weekend
When I was in high school and college, I really loved the sport of soccer. I haven't played hard for a long time, until last week. Our church put together a festival for the Hispanic festival and I signed up. Fun.
Of course, the next day, I found muscles that I hadn't used in a long time. Still fun.
Yesterday, I made sure I took my first opportunity to get a flu shot -- not the swine flu one, just the seasonal one. It always knocks me back a step, but I figure it is good insurance against something worse, especially around race time. I was feeling a little bummed lately that I've been pretty distracted and my training has suffered, but my wife pointed out that I am well ahead of schedules from previous years, when I haven't been nearly as serious. That made me feel better.
