I found that working out made unnoticeable symptoms evident. I got bloating as well as GERD. I had to clean up my diet a bit more. It did make me feel better, though.

What does your diet look like (give examples) for:

- 12 hours prior to your work out

- 12 hours after

That may help us pinpoint something. Been there (unfortunately) but it is now ancient history.

Nope. And I'm wondering if perhaps something you are eating to give you energy before hand might be causing it? I only bloat (this is just me, of course) when I eat gluten. Give your foods another check, the pans you use, the utensils, etc.

I don't know how much these symptoms are related to celiac or not--but after an intense workout (i.e. more than just a walk around the block or 30 minutes on the elliptical) I have noticed the following things:

my whole body feels like it's swelling -- including my legs and feet (which puff up), and my abdomen feels uncomfortably swollen

lack of flexibility / stiffness

extreme fatigue

surprise diarrhea & stomach cramps(as if I drank plumbing fluid that "cleared my pipes")

brain fog

depression / weird dark thoughts/feelings

severe soreness the next day (and even more so the day after that... i.e. 2 days later)

I think there were other things--but I can't remember everything because it has been a while since I've done anything intense (obviously it's not something that results in much joy). Plus I think I retained more water and even GAINED weight from exercising (even though that doesn't make any sense). I was diagnosed celiac in late January and have been gluten-free since then. I don't think my body has healed enough yet for me to see any major differences, but I'm hoping to see changes once I do attempt to start exercising and doing sports again.

I also used to have what I thought were "panic attacks" during sports practices... an allergist tested me for everything and found I was allergic to nothing, so he diagnosed me as having "cholinergic urticaria", which is more or less a condition where the patient responds to heat/exercise/over-exertion with an allergic reaction (most noticeably, hives). Now I'm wondering if this reaction to overexertion could be related to celiac. Hopefully, time will tell.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail, I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however, the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I...

      Being a burden to family/friends

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another. If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on. They're just not ready to learn that lesson...

      I’m so confused…

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start...

      Recipe Apps?

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances. It's a web site but there's also an app.

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.
