"You'd be surprised by what you can eat": Price keeps full English breakfast on menu despite gluten-free diet

Gerwyn Price has been in some terrific form as of late sealing back-to-back Premier League Darts nights and a European Tour title over the past few weeks.

Price reached the semi-final in Berlin and owes his resurgent form to multiple factors including taking on a gluten-free diet with previous issues with swelling in his hand and feet.

Price switches to gluten free diet: "Unbelievable how my mood has changed for the better"

“I have been playing well for the last eight or nine weeks,” he said as per Daily Star. “I was under a lot of pressure but that’s when I seem to do well. I have taken on a gluten-free diet, it has put me in a better place, I am feeling a lot better.

“I have seen a lot of specialists to try and find out what is triggering the water retention in my hand and my feet. Whenever the temperature rises in my body or in a room then things don’t seem to be right.

“I have seen specialists who don’t seem to know what the answer is so I read up and I have done some research and it could be down to needing a gluten-free diet. I have done that diet for the last six or seven weeks and things have started to get better, my mind seems to be better.”

“It is a cocktail of things that is helping, the crowd has been on my side which is really nice and gives me the freedom to play, so things are looking really good.

But one food item remains on the menu that he was surprised he can still eat.

“It is a little bit awkward sometimes when you want to go out for family meals, you are having to find somewhere that actually does gluten-free,” he added.

“But you’d be surprised by what you can eat, a full English breakfast is mostly gluten-free. It is quite hard but being gluten-free cleans up your diet anyway and gets rid of rubbish foods, which certainly helps. It gives me focus anyway.”
