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..

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      Quick update. I saw the title of this thread and forgot that I'd actually started it! Oh dear! It seems my new healthy diet was the cause of these symptoms, I had a clear colonoscopy, thankfully. Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good,...

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      While it's true that lifting heavy weights is a good bone builder, it may not be advisable for those with certain medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis and for the elderly or for those who don't have access to the equipment. Bone building drugs like Fosamax slow down the disposal of worn out osteoclasts (bone cells) and so help maintain/restore...

      Quick update.  I saw the title of this thread and forgot that I'd actually started it!  Oh dear! It seems my new healthy diet was the cause of these symptoms,  I had a clear colonoscopy, thankfully. Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good, I certainly lost some pounds around the waistline (pity they piled back on again at Christmas!)

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years by books like Dangerous Grains which make the case on logic rather than actual real world data. Like many biological phenomenon, what would seem to be logical doesn't pan out to be true in the real world.  But if you are one of those in the minority of celiacs who cannot tolerate cereal grains at all, I'm glad that you were able to sort that out.
