My wife has decided that she would like to run a marathon, but there is a problem. She’s 42 years old and ran a 22 plus change for a 5K about 15 years ago on virtually no training. The problem is that she has a rare disorder, namely eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Like celiac disease, she has to avoid gluten in her diet, but there seem to be many more constraints than just that.
Is anyone out there familiar with this condition and can you direct us to a resource that could be of help? Some of the traditional sites for this disorder seem to be lacking in information that is useful. The “help” seems to come from people who sympathize ad nauseum and than advise something ludicrous. Quite frankly, it has even been difficult to find a physician who can be of help.
In advance, thanks.
