Podcast 3: Benefits And Concerns With A Gluten-Free Diet

March 22, 2010 · Filed Under Healthy Food Choices, Podcasts 

This is the third podcast in a 3 part series. In this podcast, my personal experience with the gluten-free diet is discussed. As well, Erin Elberson and I discuss the benefits and concerns with eating gluten-free and share steps we take to improve the nutrient value of our diet.

Erin Elberson, a fitness blogger from sunny Florida, USA, contacted me in January and inquired about my interest in this series. I was very excited about this venture with Erin since I had not covered the basic pathophysiology, an analysis of diagnosis, or my experiences with the gluten-free diet yet. Thanks to Erin, this series of podcasts gave me the perfect opportunity to accomplish that goal and to hopefully present it in a more interesting way through podcasting. Erin also has celiac disease and manages a wonderful blog called “Gluten Free Fitness”. She has her Master’s degree in Physical Therapy, a Bachelor’s in Health Science, and is an amateur Figure competitor. Through her blog, Erin advocates good nutrition and fitness habits to improve quality of life and health.

Blogs That Discuss A Low Carbohydrate Or Grain-Free Diet

As discussed in the podcast, I eat a grain-free diet. These resources discuss low carbohydrate and grain-free diets, however, please re-assess each article yourself to ensure all information and recipes are gluten-free. I encourage everyone to have their symptoms thoroughly investigated by their MD and specialists and receive approval before implementing a therapeutic diet or making any changes. A Registered Dietitian can provide guidance to ensure all nutritional needs are met.
