Exercise After Gluten?


~**caselynn**~

Recommended Posts

I got "glutened" over the weekend, have been ill since unfortunately. I attempted a run this evening and feel so sluggish, like I could barely finish. I was shaky, almost as if I had low blood sugar but have eaten plenty of protein, any thoughts? Should I be laying low, I was concerned I might have been pushing it..

oh yes! That will happen. It seems like when I exercise any gluten will cause an even bigger/intense reaction.

Good to know, I cut my run short in fear that I'd pass out lol, I think the next time I'll lay low until I'm feeling a bit better. At the present moment I feel as bad as I did yesterday, hoping I didn't work my system up more than it already was. I honestly thought that if I got myself moving and motivated that I'd feel better, but it seems to have done the exact opposite. :-/

It seems like it takes even less gluten to cause an even bigger reaction when exercising too!

Oh you're definitely right there! I'm still feeling down for the count today, maybe tomorrow will be better. :-/

If I can get out of bed, and make it to the Gym while glutened, I actually feel better afterwards. I did it while having symptoms, before getting diagnosed, just had to slow it down a notch. I think this is what kept me sane. :)

I have to agree there, before I was diagnosed that was all that kept me going. Now it seems that when I'm good things are awesome and I have a ton of energy! But, when I get glutened I'm down for the count, and it takes me longer to come back with less gluten. I assume this is because it's not in my system anymore lol maybe I just need to power through it and turn it down a notch as you do, it's worth a try!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
