Ive recently discovered that gluten, in particularly bread, doesnt agree with me or my guts! Ive altered my diet in most areas but am struggling with my race nutrition.

I race Ironman, so obviously nutrition is a massive part of the plan..... does anyone have any clue which products out there are GF??????

Thanks

    I am pretty certain 9-bar are gluten free - taste great and are relatively cheap too - you can buy 3 in Tesco for £1.60.

    I have never used these in IM but as longs as you could carry a few of these I don't see why you couldn't use them instead of gels and other energy bars.

    nakd bars are gluten free, they do a whole range not really race specific but pretty rasty and energy rich

    Try contacting celiac uk as they have a database of gluten free products and suppliers and also may be able to put you in touch with other athletes / organisations that can help.

    you could try making your own energy bars from gluten free oats mixed with nuts and seeds etc. most supermarkets have a decent selection now in the free from areas.

    After winning wimbledon this year Novak Djokovic anounced he was on a gluten free diet as he felt better for it so there may be some info on his web site or the web in gerneral on his diet.

    There are a lot of good celiac forums, so searching some of these may also give you some answers.
