Ran A 5k Today

This morning I ran in a 5K...haven't been allowed to run too much since I lost a lot of weight when this whole food intolerance thing started. But my husband let me run this morning and I had a good time...until I looked at the pictures he took...I finally see why people look at me funny when I run. They all probably think I have an eating disorder or something. I really want to start training again but I still need to put on more weight. I've been eating a good 5,000 calories a day but it doesn't seem to be doing much.

Has anyone else started exercising before gaining back weight? What do you eat when gluten, dairy, soy, and corn are out and I don't like meat (especially red meat) that much? I don't want to look like a running skeleton...and I'm tired of all the looks. :unsure:

congratulations on running this morning. i hope everything works out for you and the weight comes back on quickly. i'm sure it will since now your body will be eating things it can absorb. :)

If you can't eat those things, it is going to be hard to gain any weight. Vegan people are usually skinny anyway. What do you eat to get 5000 calories a day? How long have you been gluten free?

Congratulations on the run. I am sure it felt good.

I am vegetarian and don't eat any meat, but I do eat some dairy. I would think eating Kinnikinnick breads would help you. Also eggs, nuts, avocadoes, flax or coconut oil added to shakes. I make shakes out of whole milk yogurt. I guess that would be out though, since you can't have any dairy. Potatoe chips are fattening, but not much nutritional value. I eat alot of mexican foods, avocadoes, beans, Kinnikinnick breads, Pamela's pancakes, gluten-free pasta, brown rice, smoothies and I do eat Breyer's icecream and M&M's some.

Thank you for writing about your run! I was a frequent runner before I got sick back in May - I have not had the energy or strength (due to weight loss) to even pick up my running shoes. Reading about your success today has given me hope that I will get back to running, hopefully soon.

Did you start off just a few runs a week and build up?

I have been eating alot of gluten free pizzas and bread and it's helping to put weight back on. I had the same reaction about 2 weeks ago when I saw my reflection in the subway widows - I didn't recognize myself at first glance, it was a little scary. Good luck wit the weight gain!

Brown Rice pasta will help. You can get it from trader joes. Eat a couple plates of that a day and it should help.

I had been training for a marathon but had to stop when I got sick :angry: ...maybe next year. It was really slow getting back into it. I started on the treadmill running really slow for a couple minutes until I got tired then walking for a while. I did cycles like that for about half an hour. Then one day it was so nice out I had to try a run...so I ran super slow for half an hour and I've just been slowly adding time as I feel ready. I've found that the more I eat, the farther I can run. I've been eating tons of the Enjoy Life brand cookies and that has helped me a lot :P Just start slow and that seems to help a lot...I am always one that hated having to take walk breaks but it really helped me to get back into running. The 5K was easy...I was ready to run 10 more miles after...now to look like a normal person again :rolleyes:

I was a runner too, until I got sick, lost weight and had absolutely no energy. I've been gluten-free for almost three months now, and I feel great. I am training for my first half-marathon in Sept. I have the same problem as you, I eat and eat and I'm just losing more weight. I have found that rice and beans are a great source of protein and carbs, and they fill me up better than breads. Also, almonds, cashews, etc. Nuts are nice and high in calories and good fats, and they stick with you. For breakfast sometimes I'll have peanut butter toast, it keeps me full a lot longer than cereal does.

Right now, I can't eat gluten, corn, rice, potatos, soy, beans, cruciferous veggies or dairy, but I have found that I can make it work it terms of calories. I don't run more than 5 miles or hike more than 15 because my weight is still low, but I am training and I set a personal best for a 5k in June. I eat about 1/2 a cup of peanut butter (natural) and two bananas for breakfast. I snack on avocados and add lots of olive oil to my foods. Fats are 9 calories per gram whereas carbs and protein are 4 so I focus on lots of healthy fats.

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By trents · Posted

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.

      Help!  My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac.  Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls.  I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase.  Have they been discontinued??  Does anyone have another recommendation for a gluten-free/DF tootsie roll option?

      I wonder how long it usually takes and if it is dose dependent as well... or if some ppl have a more pronounced reaction to gluten than others   thanks again for all the great info
