Early Fatigue

I have been gluten free for over two weeks... But since the upper endoscopy/colonoscopy I have been so tired, fatigued that I cannot complete my normal level of workouts.

I am a certified personal trainer and I am used to 30-60 minutes of cardio followed by at least 30 mins of strength training. My muscles are fatiguing early during cardio and I am not able to finish my strength training due to muscle fatigue.

I think it is due to poor absorption of nutrients/vitamins... Has anyone out there had the same issue? Anyone have any tips on upping energy safely and smartly... What about a B12 shot?

I have to take a day in between and rest, some of those days are complete rest...especially if I've ran and done strength training. I'm just taking it one day at a time and making sure I get some protein after each workout. I think its just something that will get better as we heal. I do know that when I get glutaminated I can barely do anything that involves weights.

That is very possible, but there is also can be a significant withdrawal effect from gluten. Some research has show a opioid like effect upon the brain from the gliadin fragments.

My first two weeks off gluten were horrible!! I couldn't keep my eyes open and was taking two naps a day (I NEVER nap). I found that I slowly started getting more energy during the third week. Now, I feel pretty normal again (two months in). Just give it some time. It will get better! :)

Hi,and part may be the sudden absence of gluten. Alot may also be vitamin defeiency,as was my case.I ride a road bike alot, and before diagnosis,after like a 40-50 mile bike ride I was just very very tired.weak,sometimes bonked.It took over a year to get my iron reserves back to normal.

Two weeks is just the beginning of the healing process... give it some more time. Your body is fixing itself after being wrecked by gluten, let it do what it needs to do. Your energy level will get back to normal over time. Supplementing with B12 isn't going to hurt, but don't be disappointed if it's not the miracle fix you want.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
