Hello All!

This is my first post, so please excuse any posting errors :)

I've only recently (within the last month) discovered my two month-long diarrhea (and a myriad of other problems) are caused by gluten. I've cut it out of my diet completely (with the exception of being given beef stew that had beer in it and being told it was gluten-free) for two weeks now. My movements have been regular which is wonderful. However, when I workout, and specifically when I play indoor soccer (short, bursts of speed) I feel extremely nauseous. So much so that I have to take myself out of the game.

I did not feel nauseous when I was eating gluten. I would get stomach cramps and diarrhea, but now that I've cut it out I notice this urge to throw-up when running hard.

Has anyone else had this experience? Do you think this is just due to my stomach "getting used" to being gluten-free? It's really affecting my hard workouts as well.

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks!

I had nausea when I first went gluten free, too, and i didn't before that, so i think it was some kind of a reaction to changing my diet. I'm sorry to say it took me about six months gluten free before it went away. But eventually it did!

Thanks, Pauliina!

I'm glad to hear that it eventually went away. I keep testing myself physically to see how hard I can go before I want to throw-up. I have a road race on the 18th, so that might be a good test :(

Does the nausea happen to you when you're working out really hard, or do you have nausea in general?

I had nausea in general. Mind you, I don't any more (after two+ years gluten free). Working out in my case means aikido, which involves a lot of rolling... not a good combo with feeling nauseous. :P:blink::lol:

I haven't been gluten free long either and was wondering the same thing tonight. I play volleyball once a week - I get headaches and just feel blah. My nausea has gotten better week by week - so I'm hoping that eventually it'll be gone :) I used to run before all of my D started - I'm looking forward to starting that up again as the weather gets nicer. Hopefully all this blah will be gone by then :)

GOod luck - hope it goes away!

I still have problems with stomach pain and ive been gluten free since 2004.

weird too, because I play soccer too. and it usually gets me at the end of a work/out when ive been sprinting.

i get naseau, the big D, stomach cramps, and a myriad of other problems. My sister, who is celiac gets it too.

i dont really know what to do about it?

I played field hockey throughout college and did not have these problems, however, I did have a severe problem with becoming dehydrated which then causes the symptoms you are describing, maybe you're not getting the proper hydration that you need to in order for these symptoms to lessen. When I played I had to be very strict about what I ate and making sure that I ate, since skipping meals has always been a problem for me. I also had to have a supply of water and any juice that you like to help keep you going, mine was apple juice (with the occasional orange soda as a substitute, strange I know)...this disease shouldn't keep you from playing a sport that you love, it just makes you be a lot more cautious about things!! i hope you figure it out!!

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.
