Diet truly is the path to good health especially when dealing with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. This raises the question : How does adopting a gluten free diet affect the athletic? Carbs are the bodies preferred source of fuel when exercising and most carb products contain gluten. Is this an obstacle for athletes that want or require a gluten free diet? Well, your level of physical activity (current or desired) would be the 1st indicator of that issue.

Medically the jury is still out on the effects of a gluten free diet on physical activity. There are enough gluten free carb products currently on the market to satisfy any level of athletic dedication. So weather you are into crossfit, running, swimming or pilates a gluten free diet can still provide the fuel you need to reach your goals. What is your favorite gluten-free fuel for performance?
