New to these boards, I suppose would appreciate feedback if possible.  For the last few months I have been suffering from chronic fatigue and my glands (armpits, neck and legs are all swollen)- the pain tenderness comes and goes but sometimes it hard to go about my daily routine let alone going to the gym and working out.  When I work out the glands/nodes hurt more especially when I am doing push ups or dumbbell press.  Various people have said to go get it checked out but I'm hesitant to do so because my current GP/Endo etc usually go off blood work rather than the symptoms I'm struggling with.  Been taking large doses of Vitamin C in conjunction of eating very clean (candida cleanse diet clean for the last several weeks) however, despite this I am tired all the time and my glands hurt a lot.

You should go to your doctor and let him/her check it out at least.  Get their thoughts on what could be causing it - without the blood work. Just because a doctor recommends a test you don't have to do it.  Sometimes, swollen lymph nodes can be something serious. I wouldn't ignore it...... If they think it could be serious, then consider getting the labs.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
