I am sure many of you already heard this.  West Virginia University starting QB Clint Trickett apparently has Celiac Disease.  I found it really motivational that he is out there competing at the Division I collegiate level on Saturday's at my alma mater.

 

Apparently, he was diagnosed during his first or second year at Florida State.  He was working out with special teams pre-diagnosis.  After starting the gluten-free diet, he started working out with the big boys on the team.  Pretty cool.

That is great, we really need more good gluten-free role model types out there, other than crazy celebrities who embellish and tack on their own weird stuff.  :)

He is on twitter.  Seems like a decent enough fellow.  College, football, the outdoors.  He is always tweeting about hunting and fishing.  Anyhow, when you see him on TV his arms are HUGE.  It inspires me to drop the excuses and do a better job of weight training.  My bones could use the weight bearing exercise anyhow.

The NFL player Decker on the Broncos was telling in an article how he makes the most perfect breakfast sandwich on gluten free bread.  The article did not say if he was celiac or not.  I thought that was cool.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
