Let’s get down to brass tacks on this conversation. Everybody knows my next birthday I’ll be 60.\u00a0 A new decade and more importantly, a new Age Group!!!\u00a0 I’m very excited about both!\u00a0 My 50’s have been good to me but it’s time to move on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As athletes it’s fun to be the new kids on the block in the AG (Age Group).\u00a0 We theoretically have the fresher legs and a little bit more spring in our step.\u00a0 I’ll admit that any spring in my step went bye bye a while back.\u00a0 These days it’s fun to cover the miles and successfully cross the finish lines.<\/p>\n

So, what’s the big deal?<\/p>\n

For a little while my body has been rebelling against what I’ve been eating.\u00a0 I’m not talking about spicy food kind of stuff, I’m talking about the kind of stuff we use when we fuel for our training and events.\u00a0 I’m talking about the sweets we enjoy as treats such as a candy bar or ice cream.\u00a0 Sugars.<\/p>\n

I started noticing it initially when running.\u00a0 I’d complete a run and come home extremely bloated.\u00a0 I’d have a regular tummy before the run but after the run I’d look 6-8 months pregnant!\u00a0 It’s be gone the next day but something was off.<\/p>\n

Soon it started affecting my day to day life.\u00a0 If I had a beer, I’d bloat.\u00a0 If I had candy, I’d bloat.\u00a0 Salt?\u00a0 Forget it!!!\u00a0 I’d blow up like the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My doctor in Iowa City and I sat down and bounced around ideas, etc.\u00a0 Finally it came down to the fact that my body was no longer digesting simple sugars, primarily fructose.\u00a0 I have Fructose Malabsorption so we’re doing some dietary changes at our house!<\/p>\n

The dietary changes are kind of frustrating because we actually eat pretty clean but we’re working on fine tuning it.\u00a0 Our weekend at the Iowa State Fair?\u00a0 We blew the diet out of the water but sometimes we just do things like that, right?<\/p>\n

So, what kind of changes are we looking at?\u00a0 Here’s a sample of things you can and cannot eat for someone with Fructose Malabsorption:\u00a0 Lots of stuff\u00a0 you cannot eat!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, lots of BIG changes at our house!\u00a0 Neither one of us is looking like we’re missing any meals so we’re definitely finding stuff to eat.\u00a0 Missing a lot of pizza, that’ll be an occasional treat.\u00a0 Same with tacos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think avocados are okay!\u00a0 YAY for that, right? #itsthelittlethings<\/p>\n

Still grabbing the miles no matter what because,<\/p>\n
