ok - i'm new to the whole gluten free thing - i have been "off" of gluten for several weeks. last night i ate out at a very high end establishment. i had forgotten my dining cards so i asked about gluten free items. the immediate response of my server lead me to believe he knew exactly what he was talking about. i ended up with a filet and aspargus. within an hour of finishing the meal (we were still at the restaurant) - i just felt generally "blah". this morning i have had absloutely zero energy! could my steak actually have not been gluten free??? is this something that happens when you have gluten? i was generally asymptomatic when i was diagnosed with celiac, (a biopsy was taken during a endoscopy while stretching my esophagus from radiation side effects) so i'm not familiar with what might happen if i eat gluten. i plan to call after lunch hours and ask about soy sauce in the seasonings.... any other suggestions???

Hi Britt, and welcome to our forums. I suspect that the meat had been marinaded with a marinade containing soy sauce, a very common thing to do (and the waiter may not have thought of the soy sauce, and even the cook may not think of wheat in soy sauce).

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
