Working Out with Celiac Disease: Tips for Managing Fatigue and Pain
1. Prioritize Nutrition
Ensure your meals are balanced with gluten-free carbs, proteins, and fats to fuel your workouts.
2. Stay Hydrated
Celiac disease can cause severe dehydration. Make sure to drink water before, during, and after exercise.
3. Listen to Your Body
Some days, you might need to scale back. Opt for low-impact exercises like yoga or walking when fatigue sets in.
4. Supplements Matter
Consider gluten-free vitamins and minerals like magnesium and vitamin D to combat deficiencies that come with celiac disease. I also have probiotics that seem to help me as well.
5. Choose Restorative Workouts
Incorporate stretching, mobility exercises, and light cardio to reduce inflammation and pain.
