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..

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
