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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      My only proof

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
