Does Anyone Else Have Slow Recovery Time?

It seems like it always takes me such a long time to recover from workouts. I can do 6 mile runs on the weekends, but then I can hardly workout more than 20 minutes for the rest of the week, until maybe the next weekend. I also have trouble increasing my resistance training. I feel like I'm sore for a lot longer than most people. I feel like I'm always tired too... could it be a sleep issue?

Any thoughts or advice? It's not just my muscles. It takes a long time for cuts and other things to heal as well. I've been trying to take more vitamins and supplements, but I'm not really sure what things to take. I'm working with a personal trainer now, and he's really good, but he doesn't know a ton about gluten-intolerance and my specific issues.

How long has this been happening? I just started ramping up on biking (from doing nothing for six months due to illness to now doing 30miles at a time). My muscles and joints hurt and I was exhausted and hungry all the time. I ice my knees or other joints that tend to bother me as soon as I get home. I stretch to loosen my muscles. I take a bath with bath salts right after getting back which seems to help. I eat more potassium (bananas) and protein. It's been working pretty well.

I'm just wondering if this is a recent thing that's occurring because you're pushing yourself more now or if this has been going on for a long time.

This has been going on a while. I'm pushing myself more lately, but it's only been 2 weeks this time. Generally what happens is that I'm able to push for 3 weeks then it seems like I'm overtraining. I feel like that threshold is really low for me. Whether I keep pushing or ease off during the following week, I still have trouble making it past that point. I feel like it's several days before I'm not sore anymore after that. Like I said- it's not just muscles that take a long time to heal, it's cuts and stuff too.

This happens even when I haven't had a recent glutening... maybe those effects last longer than I think, but a whole month just from soy sauce or something like that? It's rare that I get a really bad glutening that last for more than a week. Maybe I'm wrong.

      So after  a long time in which I got my zinc and folic acid levels back on track I will now start with taking Thiamine to see if that does anything. According to my blood levels I'm not low on Thiamine but, if I understand correctly, blood works are not the best way to find out if there is a Thiamine shortage. How much Thiamine should I take to start with? 100 mg?

      I'm in the "never reveal your plans to the enemy" camp on this one--it's none of their business if you're looking for another job, so I would leave that out of any conversation. Also, retaliation can be common with some employers, especially if you bring up the ADA and claim a disability because of celiac disease. I was a corporate paralegal for 5 years and handled employment claims against some major USA companies, and I've seen it all--even by huge companies that contract with the government and should know better. I say keep your cards close to your vest, wear an N95 mask if you handle wheat flour, and quietly look for another job if you feel you can't continue there.  Oh...

      @ohmichael doesn't have an official diagnosis of celiac disease yet. That would need to happen if he were to pursue a disability claim.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. According to this article your two positive DGP-IgA tests mean:

      This is so very interesting I love all this information, knowledge is so very important for us to help ourselves heal, I have been so wrapped up with my dogs nutrition after vets told me she needed a operation, which turns out I can help with this for her  myself also , I may have been missing the tap on the shoulder to say integration into your own health is needed here too , although I have been aware I must admit myself has been on the back burner at times , I also have a granddaughter with nut allergy I researched for that , this is now screaming at me to turn inward to myself also , and deal with my invisible struggles I also am carrying, thankyou for all the information keep it coming...
