I am currently training for a triathlon, which is involving approx 1-2 hrs of training, 6 days a week. I have done marathons gluten free, and managed pretty well, but this time around I cannot get rid of my hunger! I am ALWAYS hungry, and can never get full. I will eat dinner, then a snack, then a bedtime meal, and sometimes will get up and eat in the...

I just want to thank all of you for posting on this topic. I have been gluten-free for a year, and could give you a laundry list of all the positive changes I have seen in my life. I have energy, my joints don't hurt, my face cleared up, and, most importantly, my digestive issues have all but disappeared. But, lately I have felt a lot of anger of not...

ARCHIVED Any Athletes With A Similar Experience?
coltsfan18 replied to Run like an animal's topic in Sports and Fitness
I just finished my second marathon (my first "gluten-free"). It was night and day training and running without gluten. My first time around, I had a ton of knee pain and had a lack of energy while training. Training gluten free I had NO pain and a ton of energy. I really enjoyed my long runs. It made all the difference in the world!! It is amazing how... -
ARCHIVED Gain Weight Or Lose On Gluten Free?
coltsfan18 replied to Raynee's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am 5'4" and a half (the half is always important!) and weighed about 128 before going gluten free, and have gained about 4 lbs since I've changed my diet. I am eating less and am hungry less, I am just absorbing more of my food! I think is just depends on where you begin. -
I have not been "officially" been diagnosed, but have had all of the symptoms and almost immediate relief with a gluten free diet. All of my "IBS" symptoms disappeared. I saw the gastroentrologist, my blood work came back inconclusive, and we decided not to pursue the endoscopy because I was doing so well on the diet. While I may not have an "official...

ARCHIVED Long Distance Runners Fueling Question
coltsfan18 replied to mjhurd31's topic in Sports and Fitness
I am also relatively new to celiac disease and am a marathoner. I just did my first "gluten free" half marathon last Saturday and tried the GU Chomps (similar to Luna moons or Clif shot blocks). They worked great and weren't disgusting! I am having trouble with the before and after run thing too. I ate rice pasta and sauce the night before and had... -
I am relatively new to celiac disease, so this is all new to me. I have been doing very well and have been relatively symptom free for a few weeks. For lunch today I tried to eat some food that was catered in and had a baked potato, some butter from a mystery tub, salsa from another mystery tub, and shredded cheese. I thought that would be safe, but I...

ARCHIVED Relief From Gluten Free Diet...is It Celiac?
coltsfan18 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am 25 years old and have been suffering with abdominal cramping, gas (awful gas), bloating, and inconsistent bowel movements since as long as I can remember. It started getting really bad a few years ago when I started running and realized I couldn't run well when I felt awful. The only thing that relieved me was going to the bathroom, which I didn't...
