Max lift

Hello,

I'm new here. Before eating gluten free I used to lift way more. Also, after each training I also took long walk to cool down. 

 

Since I started eating gluten free, I have lost strenght and I have difficulty lifting 315 pounds. During my "mega" year, I used to be one of the strongest at the gym..

What should I do? Should I eat chia? Drink energy drink? more coffee?

 

thanks,

 

Mark

Going to guess you cut out a bunch of enriched processed foods when you went gluten free. This would lower iron, zinc, etc. intakes. I might suggest a having more avocado, pumpkin seeds/pumpkin protein, almonds, coconut, and perhaps try adding in nutritional yeast to your meals. I personally use these along with vegan protein powders high in iron and magnesium along with supplements for B-vitamins and magnesium. Before a working I normally have the B-vitamins supplements, arginine, magnesium, and BCAA sometimes with a shot of espresso for the caffeine and afterwards straight for protein shake for recovery. If you can handle carbs, sweet potato and quinoa are good for body building along with bananas. Really need a bit more information about your current diet, limitations, health issues, and regime to give you more info. I would also really suggest talking to a dietician about your needs for your body as real medical advice would be better for you.

Also why did you go gluten free? Are you confirmed as to having celiac disease? Did you self diagnose? Or just a fad diet plan? If you think you might have it I would suggest getting the testing done first before going gluten free. Getting back on gluten after getting off of it for testing can be very harsh. You need to be on it eating at least a cracker or half a slice a bread a day for 12 weeks for the blood test or 2 for the endoscope. You really should get a full celiac panel done with follow up scope if you suspect your might be a celiac before going gluten free.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
