Hello all! I was born with celiac and outgrew it in my elementary years. I got it back during my pregnancy with identical twin boys. My twins are 5 now and so far symptom free. My symptoms are not the normal dirreah and indegestion most celiac sufferes experience. I have to take iron, b12, folic acid vitamens daily and have been to ER 3 times now with critically low potasium. I go back to doctor tomorrow for severe RLS that has returned and circulation problems in my legs at night. I haven't slept in 3 nights and have to walk all night to keep blood flowing. I also struggle with very low blood presure and fainting spells. In addition I have endometriosis and I am trying to conceive despite my body's effort to defy me lol. I hope to find this a place of support.

      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.

      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.

      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.
