What happened to the workouts?
I spent this week on a business trip touring some of the major airline hubs (one flight delayed, the other canceled). I can say this with certainty. If you want to find a gluten free meal at an airport, it's most likely going to be in your carry on baggage. First, there's nothing on the plane. I flew American going out and their new snack menu is "all gluten." Skull and crossbones for them. Second, the terminals are only slightly better and you have to hunt. I managed a bunless burger and fries (separate fryer!) at a pub. At the Atlanta airport I went to the Chik fil a, hoping to pick up a salad. They were "too small for salads" (or fresh lemonade), so I ended up with waffle fries and a Coke (hey - It was Atlanta after all). Delta's in flight offered peanuts with an acceptable mix of eatable dextrins.
What to pack?
I had stopped by the grocery store to pick up provisions, and I'm glad I did. I took along about 6 packages of tuna/salmon, assorted nuts and 5 GF Larabars. (Cereal in the suitcase) My usual policy is to "forage" as best I can and then dip into my backpack for the rest. Some trips I don't even touch the food I bring with me, but this time around I ate about half my fish and bars. Other good airline trip food includes apples and applesauce in those little packages.

Hi!
I just wanted to say that I am so glad to have found your blog. I started running about a year ago and was really getting into it seriously when I started to struggle very badly. Many people suggested overtraining, but when I was running even short distances and eating well, I was so exhausted and I just kept slowing down.
Eventually, I was unable to run, and have been very ill for the last few months. They are pretty sure I have celiac, as my blood tests have come back positive, and I am waiting on my biopsy from the GI.
I am so eager to get back to running, but I feel a little nervous about how I will handle running after diagnosis.
Your site is an inspiration and great encouragement. I am very interested in raising Celiac awareness as well!
It's so nice for you to say. I'm sorry it's taken you so long to get your diagnosis. Looking back, it's easy to see all the progress, but looking forward, it's difficult to imagine at first. You'll heal, (but just be patient).
