Any one else experience neuropathy when returning to gym workouts?


Awol cast iron stomach

Recommended Posts

Awol cast iron stomach Experienced

I looked to see if this was already answered but didn't see it. After 2 years of taking it light with walking and just light weights letting the body be my guide. My joints and fatigue during recovery led my exercise for two years. I started to return to gym and my former modified gym routine. Frustratingly triggered neuropathy in my feet and fatigue. I was fine the other day but today within 12 minutes my feet went numb i tried switching from elliptical to bike and it continued on. Still ongoing now? I know I have not been glutened by food been very strict. Is this my fate now with exercise? Can exercise trigger my neuropathy. For the most part the neuropathy no exercise is gone now 32 months after the challenge. I thought I was all clear to get that gym membership and move out of walking and home exercise. Should I increase the b vitamins as body may demand more now that I am making more demands on my exercise routine? Or is this just something that can and does occur since neuropathy entered my life 7 years ago and reared its ugly head relentlessly after the challenge? Any advice or experience? Thanks

Maybe it is not actually celiac disease related?

I hope you can figure it out.

Might be deficiency triggered, by example if you work out a lot you deplete your magnesium and need more otherwise nerve and muscle symptoms show.

Thanks Cycling lady and Ennis. I got a TB test 5 weeks ago in order to return to employment and had a bad reaction no idea to what ingredient.  I went from bad to worse and wondered how I would report for my first day. I am now wondering if that kind of set it off for me. As I had to see the TCM/Chiropractor to stop my reaction to the TB test, who enabled me to at least report to first day of work.

Also as you mentioned Ennis between trying to return to work and being back at work and on my feet most of 7 hours a day I must be depleting the mg and (possibly B's?) . I am taking my multi in AM and increased the Mg (as you suggested I must not realize I am burning through it-denial) at night before bed with the water keifer.  

Cycling Lady I do fear the amount of time I went undiagnosed has left me with peripheral neuropathy. I believe I read on here some veterans have this as a fall out of Celiac and with healing it may subside. I am hoping so for me. The thought of PN has been rearing its head on and off for the past 26 months since the G challenge. I still don't quite feel healed yet.

I am headed back to TCM/Chiropractor today for another tune up so hoping she can get my cerebellum, nerves, and feet back to comfortable functional level and pain free again. 

Thanks for the support and ideas. 

(Yikes clearly I am off -I realize my first post says 32 months-goodness me. I joined the forums in 2016 and my challenge was fall of 2016. How did I get 32 ? , Yes, I will need that TCM tune up, need to stay hydrated, and watch those vitamins/nutrients depletion symptoms)

 

Happy Holidays to you both.

      I've not tried the product, but it is definitely possible that it contains barley and wheat grass, and is gluten-free. I would imagine that they are regularly testing their product for gluten content, since they are making the claim that their product is gluten-free. I personally avoid these ingredients, but some celiacs do consume them without issues. PS - my daughter uses this product regularly, and she is very sensitive and has DH as well. She does not have issues with it.

      Welcome back! Many celiac patients navigating perimenopause or menopause consider estrogen therapy, and there’s growing research highlighting its potential benefits. Estrogen has been shown to reduce certain health risks associated with menopause, such as cardiovascular disease, particularly in post-menopausal women. This is significant since studies suggest that women with celiac disease may already face an elevated risk of heart disease due to chronic inflammation or malabsorption issues prior to diagnosis. Estrogen therapy, whether through pills, patches, or other methods, can also help alleviate menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and bone loss, all of which can be exacerbated by nutrient deficiencies common in celiac patients before going gluten-free. Of course, the decision to use estrogen therapy is highly individual and depends on your health history, risk factors, and how well your body is responding to a gluten-free diet. If you're considering this route, it's a great idea to discuss it with your doctor. They can tailor a plan that aligns with your needs and monitor how the therapy affects your overall health. Hearing about others' experiences can also be helpful, so it's great you're reaching out to connect with others in the community!

      https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-wheat-grass-and-barley-grass-contain-gluten/ I find this helpful. I will update you on what the company says but most likely will choose one of their products without the wheat and barley grass. Overall, I think the other powders should be safe and I will try them.

      It’s great to hear that you’re feeling better overall since going gluten-free, but I can understand how these new menstrual symptoms are frustrating and confusing. Hormonal fluctuations and changes in your cycle after a celiac diagnosis are not uncommon. When the body starts healing from prolonged inflammation and malabsorption, it can affect hormones, particularly those involved in your menstrual cycle. Additionally, going gluten-free can improve overall health, which might shift your hormone balance and alter your cycles. Delayed or irregular periods, cramping, and other new symptoms may be part of your body’s adjustment process, especially if your antibodies are still trending downward. While it’s reassuring that your labs are normal and serious conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues have been ruled out, these symptoms might take time to stabilize. You could also explore whether stress, diet changes, or other factors might be contributing. If things don’t improve soon, you might want to revisit your OBGYN to discuss hormone-specific testing, such as estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol levels, to check for imbalances. In the meantime, tracking your symptoms and cycles closely could help you and your doctors identify patterns or triggers. Hang in there—healing can take time, but you’re on the right path!

      I noticed on the label: https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/whole-foods-market-organic-wheatgrass-powder-california-73-ounce-b07g333x4y that it says "Contain Wheat Ingredients," which probably means that it can include the protein from the wheat kernels/seeds.
