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.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
