work out and diarrhoea

[Muhammaf]

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....

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

thanks, which brands would you recommend to me? 

[knitty kitty]

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.
