Comments on: Celiac Disease Foundation’s Annual Education Conference & Food Faire http://purefitblog.com/celiac-disease-foundations-annual-education-conference-food-faire/ Nutrition bar blog by Robb Dorf, CEO of PureFit Nutrition Bars Thu, 15 Dec 2011 18:13:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Robb Dorf President and Founder http://purefitblog.com/celiac-disease-foundations-annual-education-conference-food-faire/comment-page-1/#comment-11038 Robb Dorf President and Founder Sun, 02 Aug 2009 17:00:22 +0000 http://purefitblog.com/?p=281#comment-11038 Daniel, I understand Desiree Ficker, Ironman Champion, follows a wheat and gluten free diet. It's quite possible for an athlete to follow a wheat and gluten free diet by using products like PureFit, and adhering to the diet with the vast amount of celiac friendly foods that are now on the market. I also believe New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees does not eat wheat or gluten. As you may be know, he nearly missed passing for the single season NFL passing record for the 2008-2009 season.

I find a potential problem will be athletes, as they NEED carbs. Although there are many studies done that tout the benefits of a gluten free diet, are there many athletes that follow it? I know Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves tries to follow a strict gluten free diet. But they are either rare or keep it private. My question would be who and why? If they make it public, more student athletes are likely to look into it spreading awareness. I am doing some research on celiac disease and gluten free diets.
