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.

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
