need help with making a choice on protein shakes to help with militiary physical fitness test. im currentley 21 and looking into the militiary once i finish college and becoming an officer. im pretty athletic i bounce around from about 170-175 pounds. i run about 3 miles a day so i burn off a lot of calories need help retaining muscle while getting rid of fat. any advice? im working on running 3 miles in under 21 minutes. my goal is 12 pull ups and 56 sit ups. i feel like i get burnt out of energy fast due to the wheat intolerance. any advice on supplements would be great. thank you!

It is not nuts at all. It is tough to eat gluten free even in the regular world and in the field or a war zone it would be a risk not only to the celiac but to the whole platoon if the celiac was to be glutened. Not only would the D be a problem but also celiac can effect every system in the body including the brain. My DS was an undiagnosed celiac when he joined the Army. The effects of the disease which came on full force due to the stress of boot camp and specialized training combined with the high gluten diet that those folks are fed were horrible. Not only was he in pain he also had severe neuro issues that to put it mildly made him more than a bit unstable.

they let vegan's in the militiary and make special meals for them. why should having a wheat intolerance be any different? i think this is a huge issue since celiacs disease is growing.

Perhaps it is because if a vegan accidentally ingests something not on the diet, their immune system does not react making them physically ill.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By TexasCeliacNewbie · Posted

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
