Hey there - Thanks for the responses! Another question: Does the magnitude of the response correlate to the amount of gluten ingested? I think that this last reaction has been my worst since going on the diet over 2 years ago. I also think that it's been my worst contamination... Take care

Hi - I'm just wondering how long it takes for people to show symptoms after being "glutened"... I'm pretty sure that I ate sauce with flour in it last Wednesday night. I felt "tingly" right away. Thursday, I felt tired and brain-fogged - but no bad stomach problems. Same on Friday - Also, I had to pee often. Then the D* started Saturday & hasn...

Hi - I am a female runner age 35. I run a lot of miles because I don't particularly like running fast & I don't get the "endorphin" effect if I run shorter distances (at the same pace, anyway). I typically run 8.5 min miles for my training runs. I do run marathons & have just started trying ultras (longest so far is 34 miles). I have just...

Usually I just run once a day - typically 10 miles on weekdays and 15+ miles on weekend days. I run a lot of miles, but at low-moderate intensity... It's so hard to figure out what upsets the stomach. Before the celiac diagnosis, I just thought that I had the "Runner's Runs" all the time. The SlowFe doesn't seem to upset my stomach at all, though...

Hi - I run ~80 miles per week and have had problems with anemia in the past. I have been taking "SlowFE" for the past year or so & haven't had any iron deficiency problems since then. Good luck!

Hi there! I'm a marathon runner & was diagnosed in August, 2004. My main problem before going gluten-free was anemia - got so bad that my skin tone changed (i.e., no "rosy cheeks") not to mention that I often had to walk up hills. After going gluten-free & taking iron pills, I ran my personal best marathon in October (yahoo!). Although it...

Hi - Don't know if this is related, but the symptom that led me down the path of finding out I have celiac is a "cotton wool" spot that I had on my retina. Has anyone else had this symptom? My eye doc. says they're common in people with high blood pressure. Although my blood pressure is good (low even), I was quite anemic at the time, which I think... -
Hi - Love these threads on Celiac & exercise! I'm a marathon runner, and I pretty much run every day. Lately, most of my runs have been indoors (on the treadmill at the gym) - but it's much more fun to run outdoors.... Even in the snow. I've found that since I started the gluten-free diet, my energy levels have risen tremendously (most likely ...

About Balance Bars: NOTE that they are all sold with the caveat that they are produced in a facility that also processes wheat, nuts, etc. That said, I haven't had any reaction to eating them (so far). The company's policy is to clearly label all wheat/gluten containing ingredients (so the ingredient "natural flavor" will not contain gluten for these...

Hi there - Good to see so many athletic people out there! I'm definitely on a high today after having run a PR in my 18th marathon this past Sunday (3:16)... This is by far my best time for 8 years or so & I'll attribute it to the gluten-free diet - which I started after being diagnosed with celiac in August - (and getting my iron levels up)! Sorry...

Hi - I was recently diagnosed with celiacs & have just started the gluten-free diet. I'm also a marathon runner (and anemic). I find that I'm ok with long, moderately paced runs, but that hills & short, fast runs are really tough. I think that if you just keep up with the running, eventually you'll start feeling better. I have a question and...
