Every day, Patricia Johnsen works to balance Type 1 Diabetes and –most recently — celiac disease with the challenge of training for the Ironman Triathlon. From her discovery of celiac to managing the two during major competition see how she’s been able to balance a healthy life.
The Girl Scouts organization really is great with teaching girls values, community and service, but when it comes to the cookie thing — the fact that there are no gluten-free cookies brings annual frustration for me, albeit brief.
