Okay I'm super sensetive I haven't eaten dairy I've been good with not cheating I've even bought soy free earth balance and dayia cheese in case I feel like dairy so I don't cheat(they aRe not the same but soso) I've gotten a little better every now and then I slip up(by accident) and get sick. I have all these new symptoms I can't tell now if its something I'm sensetive to or a small amount of cc cause I can definaty tell when its full out wheat. I work out about 4 times a weekytrying to gain muscle fast and I like that I get abs fast cause I'm skinny like a stick plus it relieves my stress but why do my muscle hurt sooooooooooo bad. I ate something(I don't know if its oil or cc) small abdominal pain and bad d..I normally get extreme abdominal pain from wheat and my muscles are on fire it honestly hurts sooooo bad this can't be from being sore from the gym I wanna scream and cry I can barley read what I'm typing its taking me like an hour to type it. I feel like I get new symptoms everytime I get sick but this one I got a few times and I can't figure out why it hurts my muscles. How do u tell the difference between sensetivities (I know I have a million) and cc? If it was cc would it be as bad as when I eAt something with wheat? Usually I can tell but I don't know anymore its so confusing and why does it hurt my muscles

Okay, I'm guessing here. First, it's possible that the weight machines you used were used previously by people who had eaten gluten....in other words, you got cc'd. However, I think it's more likely that you are experiencing excess lactic acid buildup in your muscles. This can happen with poor oxygenation of the cells (either from iron anemia or another cause). The way to alleviate this is to take a particular ratio of Omega 6s to 3s (I kid you not!). Take 1/2 teaspoon of organic flaxseed oil along with 3/4 teaspoon of either grapeseed oil or safflower oil in a small glass of juice. If you do this daily, you will NOT have excess lactic acid buildup in your muscles. My reference for this advice is Brian Peskin's book, "The Hidden Story of Cancer." I've been doing this for four years, and I haven't had muscle pain in all that time (and I used to suffer terribly).

I agree that it's excess lactic acid in the muscles but this is perfectly normal for someone who works out on a regular basis. I weight train and there are many days when my muscles are sore, especially when the weight is increased during the work-out. I view this as a good thing because it means you are doing something with your muscles. I have a high tolerance to pain so still go about my daily routine, no matter how sore I feel. If anyone is having that much difficulty with soreness, they may be working out too much and not giving their body enough rest in between.

I used to think that muscle soreness after weightlifting or other strenuous activities was normal, but I came to accept that I was wrong. Soreness indicates that there is excess lactic acid...and this means that there is LOW OXYGENATION of the cells. This is very bad. Unless you read Brian Peskin's book, you will consider muscle soreness after exercise to be normal when it is, in fact, NOT normal. If low oxygenation continues, some cells of the body will begin to turn cancerous because the body does this as a defense mechanism when the oxygen level has fallen below 70%. In today's world, with pollution, poor water, poor food, etc., it's easy to fall below 70%...and then our bodies defend themselves by turning cells cancerous to allow the important organs to continue to function with lower oxygen. Because cancer cells are anaerobic (don't need oxygen), if more cancer cells are present, the more important organs' cells can survive on the remaining oxygen. Muscle soreness after exercise indicates that your body is operating at lower than 70% oxygen. Celiacs who suffer from iron anemia and B-12 deficiency tend to suffer from low oxygenation, so it's very important to take the oils in the proper ratio to boost that oxygen rate. If you don't believe the Omega oil ratio I provided above, please read the book--it explains everything. I provided the amounts that you should take to save you money on purchasing the book, but I can understand why you might question whether it will do any good or not. However, if you take the oils in the amounts I described, you'll be amazed at how you'll no longer suffer from lactic acid buildup.

I speak from experience. I had an extremely low ferritin level for three years, and at the end of that time, I ended up with cancer. When I read Peskin's book, all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. After suffering since birth with muscle soreness, I haven't had sore muscles in more than four years following his oil ratio formula--and I'm big on weightlifting, running, and various exercise routines.

I speak from experience.

Thanks so much for this info, I had this happen just this week and wondered what was going on. I wanted to clerify the mixture. Is it 1/2 tsp flaxseed oil and 3/4 safflour? I didn't understand the Omega 6 to 3, could you explain? Thanks!

I get muscle pain from glutening too, and I'm also super sensitive. I went on a 20 mile bike ride this past weekend at a good pace and had the same problem. I had gotten glutened a couple of days earlier. Hydrating helps a lot. I couldn't sleep due to the pain and just kept getting up and drinking another glass of water. I was better by morning. I also stretched before bed and that helped a lot too. For me, it's a different kind of pain than lactic acid sore muscles. It's more all over.

AVR1962,

The ratio of Omega 6s to 3s should be anywhere from 1:1 to 2.5:1. Therefore, you would need to take 1/2 teaspoon of organic flaxseed oil along with 3/4 teaspoon of organic safflower (or grapeseed) oil in a glass of juice.

Not only will your muscles not hurt, you'll be able to work out harder and longer.

      Hi @trents Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. I have been on an iron supplement for 4 years. (Started at Ferratin at 6) and has always sat around 20-30s. I also have been a high level athlete so I’m sure that doesn’t help. I will sometimes get readings around 50 but haven’t stopped my supplement so assuming it can be from taking it the day before.  Also get muscle twitches too which maybe is pointing to some other deficiency.    My magnesium vitamin B and D were all normal right before going gluten free but I’m also reading more about zinc and the different types of b vitamins that may affect some symptoms as well. So will have to look into that. When can iron stores expect to replenish? Does it take awhile?

      @trents - THANK YOU, that is a really helpful and interesting post. I have had fairly extreme symptoms. Being a veteran hypochondriac I've been imagining all sorts and what you say makes me think I've probably been up to my usual catastrophizing!    That said, I foresee another colonoscopy appointment if things don't settle down soon., and if I have got diverticulosis I guess that is how they will find out. I've just checked some statistics and I had no idea until I googled the condition that such a large percentage of the UK population has diverticulosis, i.e. 50 per cent by the age of 50, and that diverticulitis itself - i.e.  inflammation of the diverticular - affects 5-25 per cent of the population.  Oddly enough I knew a young woman with it and she told me years ago that it felt like there was a baby's foot wedged into her stomach at times, just like when she was expecting a baby, and this is exactly how it feels to me at times (although I realise as a man you will not be familiar with this sensation!)   I also do have an umbilical hernia which I think plays me up. On your other earlier points - I have read elsewhere that sudden intake of fibre can cause a lot of discomfort.  It reminds me of the time I swapped a chocolate bar with a muesli bar with apricots in an effort to be healthy, and there was a stone in it which broke my tooth!  No pain no gain I suppose!  And re: new intolerances, that too is very likely.   I will start keeping a food diary and my husband has today bought me some peppermint tea, hopefully that might help disperse some of the bloating! Thank you.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @hjayne19! Because of the damage done to the villous lining of the small bowel by celiac disease's inflammatory process, absorption of nutrients from our diet is generally compromised and over time it is typical for those with celiac disease to develop nutritional deficiencies. Your low ferritin is evidence of that. We generally advise those who have been newly diagnosed to invest in some high quality and high potency gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplements to address this. We're talking about more than a multivitamin. We usually advise B-complex, D3 (5-10k IU daily), zinc, and magnesium glycinate. In particular, magnesium can be helpful for sleep issues and the glycinate form is important as it is assimilates much better than a lot of common forms you see on supermarket shelves which are formulated more for shelf-life than the are for assimilation. Has your ferritin rebounded yet? You may also need an iron supplement if you aren't on one already. Do you have Costco stores near you? Costco's Kirkland Signature brand and Nature Made brand of vitamins and supplements are good quality, economical choices and will be labeled gluten-free on the packaging if they are.

      Making significant changes in our diets, even when it is in, what would we are told by the experts, a healthy direction, can be upsetting to our system until it adjusts. To make an analogy, it's like beginning an exercise regiment when we don't ease into it gradually. That's one thing that occurs to me as a response. And I think as we get up in years this becomes more and more true. We become less adaptable to change. The other thing that occurs to me is that you may have added in things, that though they are nutritionally dense, may be things that you as an individual may have some degree of intolerance to. You mention nuts and citrus. Those are packed with nutrition but also high in histamines. And citrus is not only high in histamines but is also a histamine liberator. I know from personal experience there are some things I can eat occasionally, in limited amounts and I'm okay. But if I eat them too often or consume large servings they will give me an upset tummy or a migraine attack or both. And you might also look at the possibility that you have developed diverticular disease. Nuts and seeds are a no no for that I understand.

      Hi! I am a recently diagnosed celiac and my first post here.    hoping for some help. I initially didn’t have any gastric symptoms before diagnosis. Mostly night sweats almost every night and bad insomnia. Sometimes 1-3 hours before falling asleep but mostly waking at 4 am and not able to fall asleep. I felt like a zombie. I have also had low Ferratin for years. Sleeping got a little better I also realized I wasn’t eating enough carbs after working with a dietician.    it’s been 3 months gluten free. I definitely am on the more sensitive side I would say. I get really bad panic/doom anxiety which was bad before diagnosis and has since improved but comes in waves. Now my insomnia has been bad again and looking for some advice. I try to keep a strict routine morning and night. But can’t seem to turn my brain off even though I’m exhausted.    Anyone else going through something similar?
