Is it good to exercise? Does it help? My husband just suprised me with a Y membership. I have lost so much weight with the gall bladder thing that is now gone and now the celiac. I'm 5 ' 7 and only 118 pounds. My friends all look at me in discuss and I tell them I can't help it. I had a baby 2 years ago and and weigh under what I was before I had her. Also what kind of vitamins can I take that are gluten free as well as aspartame free and chewable. Still very new at this its only been 2 weeks. :unsure:

Well I'm at the other spectrum, 5"3" and 230 lbs, but I think a membership to a gym is a great Idea for anyone. I joined a gym in Jan, and my energy level and overall mood has improved. I haven't lost alot of weight, but I know my body has gained muscle and improved my posture.

Limit your cardio to about 20 minutes, anything more than that and it will burn fat that you are looking to keep. I would suggest going and working on machines or taking yoga or pilates classes. These things build muscles, tone and increase your flexibity. You may find now your gluten free, you will gain weight again, the increased muscle and activity will help you not feel like your just blowing up. In the past few weeks scince I have gone gluten free, I also find going to the gym takes my mind off of food issues and lifts my mood! :P

I have added in excercize as I felt better. I have a treadmill at home and started with 10 minutes when I felt good. Gradually, I've been able to go 20 minutes 3x a week. Maybe some would laugh at this but I'm small and thin and this small amount of excercize makes enough of a difference. I do feel more energetic and balanced all week if I do this. It seems to help. Now that the weather is warming up I walk my son to school in the mornings too. Again. It's a short distance but I don't need as much as other do. I also do stretches at night before I go to bed. A nurse told me this counts as excercize because it helps build muscle.

I take Rainbow Light Healthy Family vitamin powder becaues tablet were hard for me to digest. It has no sweeteners added, just a slight natural sweetmess from fruit powders.

Sorry for the double post puter being weird. Good to know about exercise being ok before I had my daughter I was doing the Winsor pilates and I really enjoyed that and did gain some muscle until I had the stomach trouble so maybe I'll try that again and the Y membership. Hope my stress level goes down I'm way to worried about alot of stuff. The Nature Made do they have chewable?

Exercise is essential for your heart. I'm 5'7 and 118 lbs. I run, bike, and weight train 5 times a week. Make sure your getting enough protein and carbs. I eat about 2,500 calories daily. I'm happy with my weight and size, and know that I'm healthy. I use Nature made vitamins thier gluten free.

I "use" exercise all the time - it's my biggest coping mechanism !

I teach group fitness and do weights, yoga, run, etc. - always makes me feel better & stronger. I'm maintaining my weight, not losing or gaining.

If you are worried about weight loss, make sure you are eating enough calories - chances are if you add a lot of activity you will need more energy in ! Exercise is empowering - just look for activities you like. It is also YOUR time, so enjoy it. Work as hard or as lightly as you like, the important thing is to do something. The Y could be a great social place for you too...it's all good, LOL.

Exercising is so beneficial that this sounds like a great present. I'd recommend lifting weights. It's something a lot of women tend to shy away from, but it can be very helpful. If you do a 20 minute cardio workout, you will probably burn around 200 calories. Since you're concerned about losing more weight, an extra snack would take care of the calorie deficit.

I could benefit from some excercise. I gained a little bit :ph34r: since going gluten free. Enjoy the membership. Excercise is something that is good for everyone not just physically but mentally. I have a few coworkers who go to the gym and when they return they have better spirits. I am not sure if they work out all their problems or it relieves stress but they return happy.

Exercise is what keeps me sane! Yes it does get hard some days, but overall is great. I do triathlon and train most days. I love it.

Tips. Vary your exercise from time to time, it will keep you fresh and interested. Work out what you enjoy so that you look forward to going. Exercise should be enjoyable. The social aspects of a gym can also be nice.

Eat before and after working out (particularly if you are low body weight). if you do this, you don't need to worry about cutting short your cardio sessions (major fat burning is not going to happen by adding an hour of aerobic workout a few times a week).

Do the weight training. it will help with lots of things: strenght, energy, etc.

What about trying weight lifting? I've been doing free weights at home and am absolutely THRILLED with the new muscle definition that I have (okay, it's pretty subtle still, but *I* can see it, lol!) There's something very empowering to me about getting stronger, too. I've done cardio stuff for years, but the weights are a new thing. Working out is better than therapy to me....I get as much of a sense of mental well-being as I do physical. Good luck! Enjoy the Y!

It's hard, but exercise is one of those things you have to MAKE time for. It's got to be part of your schedule. For me, I go to work and I know I'm going to the gym right after work before I go home or I'll never do it. Once I'm home I can find plenty of time to waste on the internet, but can never find any to workout. I have to force myself. Or find a workout buddy. I do gymnastics on Monday night with a bunch of friends. I want to go because it's a social activity. Same with ballet on Thursday nights.

I love to exercize it's wonderful anti-anxiety therapy and believe me, I'd rather walk than sit in a Psychologist's office for 30 minutes a day lol :lol:

I do light freeweights too. I am 5'2" and build bulk easy and I personally don't want to look like a linebacker! HAHAHA

I definitely find my mood is better and I have more energy

good luck to everybody :)

      Have I got coeliac disease

      @Mark Conway, here is an article outlining the various tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease. By far, the most popular one ordered by physicians is the tTG-IGA. But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test. In...

But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test.  In addition to IGA tests there are IGG tests which are particularly useful in the case of IGA deficiency.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty! My feet aren’t dry or ashy and I don’t have a rash that gets scaly. It’s like very itchy/burning vesicles that are symmetrical - on both arms, both legs, etc. They actually feel better in direct sunlight as long as it isn’t really hot or I’m not exercising outside, but gets worse if I sweat (especially if the area is covered up). It’s not usually on the outside of my elbows and knees which seems more typical of dermatitis herpetiformis (unless it spreads there). It tends to first hit the inside of those areas. Interestingly, twice the rash broke out soon after eating an unhealthy meal and having an alcoholic drink (I only drink a few times a year, no more alcohol content than a glass of wine).  So I wonder if there is a connection. I’m halfway considering doing a gluten challenge for a few months to see what happens, knowing I can stop if I have any symptoms, and asking for a full celiac disease panel at the end. I really appreciate your thoughts!

      Welcome, @JudyLou, Your rash sounds very similar to the one I experienced.  Mine was due to a deficiency in Niacin B3, although I had deficiencies in other nutrients as well.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients, but eating a poor diet, taking certain medications, or drinking alcohol can result in deficiency diseases outside of Celiac, too.  Symptoms can wax and wane depending on dietary intake.  I knew an alcoholic who had the "boots" of Pellagra, which would get worse when he was drinking more heavily, and improve when he was drinking less.   Niacin deficiency is called Pellagra.  Symptoms consist of dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death (the four D's).  A scaly rash on the feet and hands and arms are called the "boots" and "gloves" of Pellagra.  Darkened skin around the neck exposed to the sun is Casal's necklace.  Poor farmers with niacin deficient diets were called "red necks" because of this.    Does your rash get worse if you're in the sun?  Mine did.  Any skin exposed to the sun got blistered and scaly.  Arms, legs, neck, head.  Do you have dry, ashy skin on your feet?  The itchiness was not only from the rash, but neuropathy.   My doctors were clueless.  They didn't put all my symptoms together into the three D's.  But I did.  I'd learned about Pellagra at university.  But there weren't supposed to be deficiency diseases anymore in the developed world.  Doubtful it could be that simple, I started supplementing with Niacin and other essential nutrients.  I got better.   One of Niacinamide functions is to help stop mast cells from releasing histamine.  Your allergist gave you doxepin, an antihistamine which stops mast cells from releasing histamine.   Since you do have a Celiac gene, staying on the gluten free diet can prevent Celiac disease from being triggered again.   Interesting Reading: These case studies have pictures... Pellgra revisited.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4228662/ Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Cutaneous signs of nutritional disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8721081/#:~:text=Additional causes of yellow skin,the clinical features of Kwashiorkor.   Hello, @Staticgypsy, I would not recommend cutting so many nutritious foods out of ones diet.  Oxalates can cause problems like kidney stones, but our bodies can process oxalates out of our systems with certain vitamins like Vitamins A and D and Pyridoxine B 6.   People with Celiac disease are often low in fat soluble vitamins A and D, as well as the water soluble B vitamins like Pyridoxine B 6.  Focus on serving your granddaughter nutrient dense meals to ensure she gets essential vitamins and minerals that will help her grow.

I am and wish I wasn't. If there was a detector of gluten in the air it would make a world of difference.
