Hi there, I'm new to the Celiac world and I'm an avid runner. Or at least I used to be. I have actaully been slipping in my running because I'm getting frustrated with my pre-run eating before my runs(both long and short). i just can't seem to find anything that gives me the energy that regular carb-loading does. I've tried the Sharkies and those are o.k. but they are more for during runs. I did notice that someone mentioned Gu is gluten free, because that is much better. But what about the 'carbing-up'? Is there something out there that works good? I really want to get back into my running habit, but I just need the energy. I'd appreciate any help.
