I got on my new road bike saturday, down in LA. Rode 87 miles!!!!!!!! woohoo. I wasn't as fast as I used to be, and need to work on what to eat on long rides like that, but it felt simply wonderful to have that kind of energy again.

I'm commuting to school this week on my bike, in honor of Bike to Work week. 21 miles each way.

Good for you!

My son is an avid bicyclist. He trains all the time and enters races - trail and crit (I think that's what it's called). Lately he's been doing diathalons (run/bike) and will be doing a triathalon later this summer (run/swim/bike). This is his fourth year and he's in cat 3 now.

Do you race?

I did, way back in high school. I've barely ridden in the last 12 years or so, but I'm excited to be back in the sport.

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Positive biopsy

      Wow! Thank you @trents I really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.

      Positive biopsy

      Yep, you've got celiac disease. That is a high score. In the U.K. you could have been diagnosed on the TTG-IGA score alone and not needed an endoscopy/biopsy. But I realize your physicians were not looking for celiac disease in the first place. But it also makes me wonder how much of your bowel issues are tied to celiac disease whose onset may actually have...

But I realize your physicians were not looking for celiac disease in the first place. But it also makes me wonder how much of your bowel issues are tied to celiac disease whose onset may actually have been years ago. Taking years to get a celiac diagnosis after onset is typical because the symptoms mimic so many other bowel diseases and many of us have "silent" celiac for years, meaning we have no or few symptoms until damage the small bowel lining becomes quite advanced and other symptoms, e.g. iron deficiency anemia, start showing up.
