Hey all:
For the last couple years I was dealing with a lot of problems with migraines....I knew certain things were triggers...beer, barley, etc. I could not have any of those things without having a massive headache a few hours later.
Within the last few months, I was having weird skin reactions, and my whole face would break out in hives, and my eyes would swell shut like I was in a fight.
After careful tracking of what may have caused it, I came to the conclusion I had a problem with gluten. I saw my Dr. and he confirmed my fears, and stated that I should immediately go to a gluten-free diet.
I've been gluten free about a week now, and I feel a ton better already. I haven't done any runs longer than 5 miles since the drastic change in diet, but I don't generally feel too different (yet).
Should I expect a change as I get into longer distances? Can anybody who has dealt with this help me out and give me some pointers as to how I can get carbs without the usual suspects (Breads, pasta)?
This is all new for me, so thanks for understanding.
