Gluten-free Athletes in the 2014 Sochi Olympics!

The Winter Olympics are here, and did you know that many of the athletes are on a gluten-free diet?

"Here are a few from the United States:
  • Chris Creveling, Speed Skater - follows a gluten-free diet to reduce inflammation
  • Jazmine Fenlator, Bobsled - follows a gluten-free diet.
  • Todd Lodwick, Nordic Combined Skier - follows a gluten-free diet to help with inflammation of the lungs.
  • Elana Meyers, Bobsled - follows a gluten-free diet.
  • Sara Studebaker, Biathlon - follows a gluten-free diet. Sara's fiance, Zachary Hall, a fellow US Biathlon National Team member 2007-2011, is gluten intolerant, so it's easier if both of them eat gluten free. Sara says she "..feels better training and competing!"."
