I found that working out made unnoticeable symptoms evident. I got bloating as well as GERD. I had to clean up my diet a bit more. It did make me feel better, though.

What does your diet look like (give examples) for:

- 12 hours prior to your work out

- 12 hours after

That may help us pinpoint something. Been there (unfortunately) but it is now ancient history.

Nope. And I'm wondering if perhaps something you are eating to give you energy before hand might be causing it? I only bloat (this is just me, of course) when I eat gluten. Give your foods another check, the pans you use, the utensils, etc.

I don't know how much these symptoms are related to celiac or not--but after an intense workout (i.e. more than just a walk around the block or 30 minutes on the elliptical) I have noticed the following things:

my whole body feels like it's swelling -- including my legs and feet (which puff up), and my abdomen feels uncomfortably swollen

lack of flexibility / stiffness

extreme fatigue

surprise diarrhea & stomach cramps(as if I drank plumbing fluid that "cleared my pipes")

brain fog

depression / weird dark thoughts/feelings

severe soreness the next day (and even more so the day after that... i.e. 2 days later)

I think there were other things--but I can't remember everything because it has been a while since I've done anything intense (obviously it's not something that results in much joy). Plus I think I retained more water and even GAINED weight from exercising (even though that doesn't make any sense). I was diagnosed celiac in late January and have been gluten-free since then. I don't think my body has healed enough yet for me to see any major differences, but I'm hoping to see changes once I do attempt to start exercising and doing sports again.

I also used to have what I thought were "panic attacks" during sports practices... an allergist tested me for everything and found I was allergic to nothing, so he diagnosed me as having "cholinergic urticaria", which is more or less a condition where the patient responds to heat/exercise/over-exertion with an allergic reaction (most noticeably, hives). Now I'm wondering if this reaction to overexertion could be related to celiac. Hopefully, time will tell.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.
