  1. I have the same problems. I cannot eat anything for at least an hour before a workout because my stomach and GI get uncomfortable right afterward.

    I have that problem after almost all runs, but not bike rides or swims. GI cramping, the runs etc. , bloating, and water retention, as well as sinus congestion are the end result wen I have gluten, which still happens because I am very new to this. I figured I was still eating something around lunch time that was bothering me... although I have no idea what it could be.

    I think the reason a lot of us are having problems, especially with running, is that there is a lot more up and down motion with running than swimming or biking. I think the intestines jump around with the body's movement when impacting the ground. I started working out on an elliptical instead of a treadmill and and found I was able to longer and with less discomfort because of the lower impact and not as many jarring movements.

  2. Chocolate milk is just as good as or better than gatorade in getting nutrients and sugar back into your system. I find that drinking some after a workout keeps me energized and refuels me very well. And it fills me up a lot better than gatorade does.

  3. Very cool! These sound like great (and yummy) ideas. I'm hoping to get a refund on my meal plan that I've barely used so I can go out and buy good food to eat. Everybody who knows me would keel over in shock at this, but I actually miss pasta. I'm really excited to try the gluten-free stuff. :) Fortunately, I can still have some of my favorite cereals like Captain Crunch and Kix.

  4. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I had no idea that Celiac is covered in the ADA. I already go through disability services and counseling services for depression, so that is definitely something I can bring up to them. I know someone who was able to get a dorm room to himself by going through disability services. I'm going to look into getting off the meal plan. Does anybody know of any easy recipes I might be able to start out on? I suck horribly at cooking and our kitchens (if they can be called that) set off the fire alarms very easily. Thanks again for your suggestions! B)

  5. I am in my junior year of college and still living in the dorms which means I also have a meal plan. I have been diagnosed in the past few weeks with Celiac Disease I have talked to the head of food services here and they go above and beyond to highlight the weekly menus with items that are gluten free. However, the amount of choices fluctuate from week to week. I am finding that there are very few appealing choices. Mainly I eat fruit and salad (but even then, the salad dressings are not gluten free). I am starting to get burned out with the repetitive good choices and I'm afraid I'll damage my health by eating gluten-free junk food which I have found is fairly accessible on campus. I also have very few, if any, options to cook myself (also, I usually mess up big time in the kitchen, even with supervision). I am going to be stuck almost choiceless while I'm at school, or is there another route I can go?

  6. do colleges provide this? i also have a sick parent. so just wondering where i can find one.

    Yeah, definitely. You just need to talk to the person in charge of food services and they should be able to help you out. I go to Truman State and they are very accommodating for myself and two others who live in my building. All three of us need to follow a gluten free diet. The only problem I've found is the incredibly small amount of choices at meals. Otherwise, they are incredibly helpful.
