Exercise After Gluten?

[~**caselynn**~]

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!
