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!!

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
