Ev...I didn't have any problems with Shot Bloks! Even though they aren't listed specifically as gluten-free, they are technically free FROM gluten. I asked Clif and their rep told me that since there are other items produced in the factory that contain gluten, they can't guarantee it. BUT - no other items are produced on these specific machines. I suppose there is a risk for cross-contamination, but it doesn't seem to be likely.

Shot Bloks are not listed as gluten free so I was curious if you'd had any problems with them. I have been using honey stinger equivalents to shot bloks because I was afraid of the gluten!

I am not familiar with liver damage due to ibuprofen, but I know that it can really wreak havoc on kidneys -especially when you're already dealing with dehydration. Thanks for mentioning it.Vanessa @ Gourmet Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927786555693446088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-24703424300030286042012-10-08T21:26:49.975-04:002012-10-08T21:26:49.975-04:00Congratulations again!

You rocked the 50k!<br /><br />We have been having beautiful, clear but cool weather here, but Saturday (the day of my 50k) has a 40% chance of rain. :'-(<br /><br />That is a long time to be running... I was hoping it would take me less than 6.5 hours to finish my 50k. Maybe I need to re-evaluate....<br /><br />I hope the recovery is going well. Another runner friend told my BF that he must make me sit in cold water for at least 10 minutes after the race. Hopefully, I'll have enough energy left to foam roll and stretch.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863022781106711022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-72706686689957622972012-10-08T14:42:44.238-04:002012-10-08T14:42:44.238-04:00You are amazing!!!
