Wie follows Djokovic's dietary tips

Wie follows Djokovic's dietary tips

Female golf star Michelle Wie has revealed that she is now following tennis ace Novak Djokovic's dietary tips by adopting a gluten-free diet.

Like Djokovic, Wie suffers reactions to foods and has said she is "allergic to everything in this world", the AFP reports.

Since Djokovic dropped gluten from his diet, the Serbian has been in unstoppable form on the international circuit and Wie is hoping that giving up gluten will yield similar results for her.

After just a few weeks, the American said she is already feeling the effects.

"You know, my joints don't feel sore as much, I digest food a lot better, my hands feel less swollen so I feel really good," she told the news agency. 

The results of Djokovic's dietary change have been spectacular, as he has won four out of five major tournaments since being diagnosed with celiac disease - having won only one major prior to going gluten-free.
