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.

      Newly diagnosed, struggling

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @CeliacNew, If you are Vegan to help you feel better, reconsider returning to omnivore.  Actually, since you are already on a very restrictive diet, transitioning to gluten free might be easier for you.  Read the ingredient labels, Particularly vitamin D and Choline require supplements for vegan diet because our primary source is sun, eggs and beef.  B12 also.

      Multiple symptoms and mixed provider responses

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Once you've completed testing and still don't have improvement, start a trial gluten free diet.  Looking for imprvement that may indicate Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, which is 10 times more prevalent than Celiac Disease. Deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, D, and C can manifest as skin rashes.  Virtual guaranty you are deficient in vitamin D.

      Help vetting HLA-DQ typing provider

      So those rs numbers tell researchers where the dbSNP is located in a Genome so that other reasearchers or an AI system can look in that specific spot for that Snip of information.  You can look those rs # s by pasting the numbers after rs into the lookup on this page https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/ right under the Blue header bar at the top of the webpage.  Since you are not a researcher, I do not know how this will help you though.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So I posted here once before, and everyone advocated that I get into a GI doc.  I finally got into my functional health appointment on 6/16 to get my blood results evaluated and get the Gastro referral. I was told that I would be fortunate to see a gastro doctor by December, because of the number of people waiting to get in, but they did believe that I needed to see a GI doc among others.  Well, the stars aligned. I got home. I looked at MyChart and it showed an appointment available for later that same day. I never clicked so fast on an appointment time. The gastro doc ran some additional blood work based off the December values that had confirmed my daughter's suspicion that I have...

      Worried about being isolated

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.
