Muscle Soreness/fatigue

Anyone else feel this way? I am 7 weeks or so gluten free, however I realized last week I had a major issue to caisen, and had been eating it for days... so my GI symptoms came back full force, and my muscle twitching got way worse as well, with some painful spasms.. well 2 or 3 days since I've touched caisen- the twitching is improved.. but I was walking around yesterday a bit (which isn't anything new- but it was on rougher/rocky terrain) and now I feel like I ran a marathon!!

It literally feels like I went to the gym my legs ache/are sore (build up of lactic acid feeling)so badly!! Is this normal?? I just feel like I'm falling apart still! But my GI symptoms are better in the last 24 hours.. not sure if this is just a result from all of that or not! Thanks!

Could be, my muscles ache and I get very tired if I eat gluten and sometimes when I don't. I am not sure where it comes from. I know this doesn't help you except to know there are others that experience this.

Muscles are hard and they can't loosen up? I take the burpless Omega 3/6/9 for that and helps wonders. Someone else here suggested it to me and I find it really does work. Hopefully the spasma will stay away being off caesins but if you find that's not the fix, magnesium might help.

I'm 18 months into this and I'm still figuring this all out. I feel exactly the way you feel now. My poor little daughter has been suffering too so I had to figure it out...I believe it's teff flour so now I'm learning about gliadin vs gluten. Oy...It will get easier, but I think it's constant diligence.

If I were you I'd for sure lose the dairy while you're healing. And mentally prepare for some more bumps in the road. But you'll keep feeling better and better. Most days.

Yeah I started feeling the same way lately too. I've only been gluten free (failing off and on) for the last 4 months. I've been really tired with really sore muscles even those that I don't think I've used that much during the day. I also have realized when I feel the worst feeling just generally sick my body temperature dropped 1-2 F. Does this happen to anyone else? Also when I exercise I start feeling sick too and by the end of the night my muscles sort of twitch/minor spasm though this is much different than the spasm I use to get from gluten.

I just saw a doctor today my CBC is relatively normal and I don't have mono. Still waiting to see if it's iron, my thyroid, or something else.

I've had brief similar issues due to lack of salt intake before but those have always gone away by the end of the day after consuming Gatorade or cooking with extra salt.

      Yes my main goal is to  eat a guarantee  gluten free food but unfortunately I am in A very difficult situation I try to never eat gluten even if I am gonna stay hungry.i am living in the UAE with my aunt and her kids , husband and my grandma and uncle big in a small apartment,my mom is in Sudan due to her work so we can afford education here . I am now studying hard so I can get a scholarship somewhere else ,I can't work until I am 18 and basically I have no other income for me as I am still not 18 , so my mom send me an allowance every month and i buy gluten-free protein powders,nuts , dates and things i can hide and eat when I am hungry .I recently got an iron infusion and my blood tests where very bad low urea low creatine and many other deficiencies.my main priority is to stay gluten free for 3 months and then start taking vitamins,( I take oral iron every other day because the IV made my iron in the normal range but not enough I still feel dizziness and fatigue.I just want people to recommend for me things I can eat or vitamins that are easily absorbed when I need them quickly .

      Thanks for explaining your situation in more detail. You are in a difficult place it seems, not having the control you need over what you eat. What are the possibilities in the foreseeable future of you finding another living situation where you have more control over your diet? You are seventeen so soon you will be an adult. What is in your future? Education? Employment. I can see now that your main impediment to health and healing is not vitamins and supplements but being able to consistently eat gluten free.

      Two thoughts: 1. What if the testing turns out negative? That won't rule out the development of active celiac disease later in life. You may have NCGS now which will transition in to celiac later on. 2. Your plan implies dishonesty in hiding it from your doctor and your insurance company.

      Thank you for your response. I'd love to read more about your suggestion, everything I find online speaks to the opposite. Unfortunately I need the HRT due to many other factors (post menopause symptoms and osteoporosis) so stopping the estrogen would be very unfortunate. Vitamin D is pretty good, not great, but now below the norm at 36

      I take a vitamin called 21 century it has everything magnesium potassium b12 and it's just a full supplement for the day ,then I have one that my mom brought which are gummies and then I tried centrum ,I also have range of different irons (iron sulphate,iron glyciatnate and others . My problem is that I live with my aunt and due to the circumstances in my home country ( war ) we live all in a small house and they don't cook food that is rich in food and I am not comfortable in cooking for my self like meat or something like that they get mad ,that I ate everything.so I mostly eat what they eat in the day which is just a big meal and then I make small snacks that i could eat I wanted to buy moringa powder or things that I can mix easily and put them in a water bottle.my family don't take things serious about celiac they just believe I am small because I eat rice which doesn't make you get fat as they believe.they also make fun of me when I say I am gonna eat alone due to your contamination I really struggle with them.also I have vitamin D ( it was the most absorbable vitamin for me ) my blood test went from 21 to 34 after i took 50000um I guess every week and that's it .can you recommend me vitamins I can buy from Amazon or anywhere
