Hello everyone, i work out and pretty often i get my stomach upset after workout, i have no idea why it happens maybe because of intensity.

First time my stomach issues took place was when i started my workout, i was a little boy back then. My diagnosis was “suspected to celiac decease” and yeah while i am on my diet i feel good. but why does it still happen when i work out? is it somehow related to my celiac decease?

i have already tried taking some pills to stop it, they help but it has only temporary  effects 

my doctor recommended enzymes to me for a month and i took them, nothing has changed i still sometimes get my stomach upset due to my workout

It's not clear from your post whether or not you're gluten-free, but clearly if you have celiac disease and are not 100% gluten-free that would be your first step to avoid diarrhea. You may also need to eliminate oats, as some celiacs cannot tolerate them.

If you are gluten-free and still have this issue, perhaps you have additional food intolerance issues, perhaps to dairy, corn, eggs, soy, etc., and you may need to eliminate them one at at time and keep a food diary to see if there is a relationship.

Last, you may want to change your workout, and do less intense workouts and slowly increase them to see if there is some threshold you are crossing that might cause this.

thank you for your input 🙏🏻

you know, i have no clue if it is celiac disease because no one ever had it from my family.

but the thing is that i have got tested, everything was okay except villus. back then even without any sport i used to have diarrhoea every day but the diet started helping me recover a bit. that’s why my doctor said that she proved it was celiac disease.

i was always lactose intolerant but gluten intolerance appeared  a few years ago.

trying to gain weight i have bought “Carnivor” protein based on beef protein there’s no lactose and gluten despite this it causes stomach discomfort.

i have no idea what’s wrong i should’ve been totally recovered taking into consideration how much time i am on the diet.

about eggs etc. i don’t think they have anything to do with it since i eat them only sometimes not too often. i know that banana may cause some discomfort as well i do not eat it

Hi! 
What you described almost completely coincides with what is happening now with my husband! For almost a year we have been trying to find out what this is connected with, we have tried to exclude food groups from the diet one by one, but there has been no improvement. He also drank enzymes that did not help him, refused lactose, gluten-containing products, eggs, raw vegetables, and no result. Now he has greatly reduced the intensity of training, let's look at his condition after a while.
I hope you were able to figure out what was the cause of your problem! Good luck!

Hello, thanks. Actually I kept doing what I was doing what’s more I have increased the intensity. I don’t suffer now as I have. yeah sometimes it still happens but rarely. I stopped training abs. I guess my organism has gotten used to it:). Good luck.

Thiamine insufficiency will cause these symptoms.  

Thiamine is needed for energy production and digestion of meats as well as carbohydrates.

Intense training will use up lots of Thiamine.  Supplementing with Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that helps intestinal healing and working out.

Here's some interesting articles....

Effect of physical activity on thiamine, riboflavin, and vitamin B-6 requirements

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10919966/

 

Effects of thiamine supplementation on exercise-induced fatigue

The effects of endurance training and thiamine supplementation on anti-fatigue during exercise

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4241913/

 

Taking a B Complex supplement and extra Thiamine, Benfotiamine and Thiamax will help.

I like Life Extension Benfotiamine.

Thiamax is a brand of TTFD (thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide), that is wonderful for brain fog and anxiety.

Both are available at Amazon.

When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease.

      @Mark Conway, here is an article outlining the various tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease. By far, the most popular one ordered by physicians is the tTG-IGA.

I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty! My feet aren’t dry or ashy and I don’t have a rash that gets scaly. It’s like very itchy/burning vesicles that are symmetrical - on both arms, both legs, etc. They actually feel better in direct sunlight as long as it isn’t really hot or I’m not exercising outside, but gets worse if I sweat (especially if the area is covered up). It’s not usually on the outside of my elbows and knees which seems more typical of dermatitis herpetiformis (unless it spreads there). It tends to first hit the inside of those areas. Interestingly, twice the rash broke out soon after eating an unhealthy meal and having an alcoholic drink (I only drink a few times a year, no more alcohol content than a glass of wine).  So I wonder if there is a connection. I’m halfway considering doing a gluten challenge for a few months to see what happens, knowing I can stop if I have any symptoms, and asking for a full celiac disease panel at the end. I really appreciate your thoughts!

      Welcome, @JudyLou, Your rash sounds very similar to the one I experienced.  Mine was due to a deficiency in Niacin B3, although I had deficiencies in other nutrients as well.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients, but eating a poor diet, taking certain medications, or drinking alcohol can result in deficiency diseases outside of Celiac, too.  Symptoms can wax and wane depending on dietary intake.  I knew an alcoholic who had the "boots" of Pellagra, which would get worse when he was drinking more heavily, and improve when he was drinking less.   Niacin deficiency is called Pellagra.  Symptoms consist of dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death (the four D's).  A scaly rash on the feet and hands and arms are called the "boots" and "gloves" of Pellagra.  Darkened skin around the neck exposed to the sun is Casal's necklace.  Poor farmers with niacin deficient diets were called "red necks" because of this.    Does your rash get worse if you're in the sun?  Mine did.  Any skin exposed to the sun got blistered and scaly.  Arms, legs, neck, head.  Do you have dry, ashy skin on your feet?  The itchiness was not only from the rash, but neuropathy.   My doctors were clueless.  They didn't put all my symptoms together into the three D's.  But I did.  I'd learned about Pellagra at university.  But there weren't supposed to be deficiency diseases anymore in the developed world.  Doubtful it could be that simple, I started supplementing with Niacin and other essential nutrients.  I got better.   One of Niacinamide functions is to help stop mast cells from releasing histamine.  Your allergist gave you doxepin, an antihistamine which stops mast cells from releasing histamine.   Since you do have a Celiac gene, staying on the gluten free diet can prevent Celiac disease from being triggered again.   Interesting Reading: These case studies have pictures... Pellgra revisited.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4228662/ Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Cutaneous signs of nutritional disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8721081/#:~:text=Additional causes of yellow skin,the clinical features of Kwashiorkor.   Hello, @Staticgypsy, I would not recommend cutting so many nutritious foods out of ones diet.  Oxalates can cause problems like kidney stones, but our bodies can process oxalates out of our systems with certain vitamins like Vitamins A and D and Pyridoxine B 6.   People with Celiac disease are often low in fat soluble vitamins A and D, as well as the water soluble B vitamins like Pyridoxine B 6.  Focus on serving your granddaughter nutrient dense meals to ensure she gets essential vitamins and minerals that will help her grow.
