Getting the right nutrition for sports has been one of the biggest challenges I have faced as someone with food allergies. Many energy bars and drinks have ingredients that can create undesirable side effects.

Recently, I decided to participate in a two-day, 200-mile bike event. Finding energy foods that would nourish and sustain me but yet be compatible with my food allergies was no walk in the park but worth the effort.

In the next several articles, read how planning, preparation and perseverance are the keys to managing your food allergies while participating in athletic events. You can apply the same strategies to traveling or eating out more.


Here's the latest article from the Allergies and Colds site at BellaOnline.com.
