Does anyone have a problem with bloating after working out?

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.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
