I'm not sure if this is gluten related, but it started a couple months after going gluten-free back in may...

I cut my running back a lot and have been focusing on more intense workouts rather than long distance. I find I have more energy and feel better. When I was eating gluten it seemed no matter what I did it was a battlle to control my wieght...not that I was overwieght, it was just hard to keep it steady no matter how little I ate, how much I ate or how far I ran. I'm eating twice as much now since being gluten-free and running much much less and my wieght stays very steady, right around 140 give or take 3-7 pounds depending on the time of month -blah-haha

I've been having some problems with bloating/water retention. I always thought that exercizing was suppose to allieviate these symptoms, especially when they are realted to pms. Well, it seems that when I take a day off from running, my symptoms are much better. This really makes me wonder b/c it's not like I am overworking myself, I admit I was when I was on gluten, but not now at all. Maybe i need to take more days off??? I run 6 days a week...7 if the weather is really nice, I alternate days of "hard" workouts and easy...

Does anyone know anything about excerize and how it is related to water retention/bloating? I heard that muscle retains more water than fat...

I have a tendency to overdo things. I can tell you that running 6-7 days per week is too much. You need rest days. I get antsy if I don't do anything at all 7 days a week, so I go for walks on rest days. You need to alternate muscle groups at the very least. Some trainers will tell you that the rest days are just as important. I hate when they tell me that, but it does make a difference.

As for water retention- I've had trouble with that too, so I'm not sure.

thanks. yeah, its just so hard to take days off b/c running makes me feel so good (mentally) and it is like morning coffee for me. I just have to make sure I am busy on my off days otherwise I'll go insane!!! I also do crunches and light wieghts after running....

I'll have to try just going for a walk a couple days a week instead maybe...I get antsy also, always need to be doing something..

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      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.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
