Welcome to the Gluten Free Works Health Guide Newsletter!<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Muscles. When they are chronically tired,\u00a0hurt or do not work properly, our lives are impacted. Unfortunately, it is easy to get used to how we feel and grow to think, “That’s just me.”<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Gluten sensitivity and celiac disease\u00a0affect\u00a0the muscles in a number of negative ways. What may seem like “normal” aches and pains can be a symptom of an underlying nutrient deficiency or health condition that can be improved nutritionally or\u00a0treated by a doctor. Discover the various ways gluten impacts the muscles below. Then, read the Tip that follows to\u00a0find out how to fix muscle problems.<\/p>\n

Please email us questions or topic suggestions\u00a0at\u00a0info@glutenfreeworks.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How Gluten Affects the Muscles<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Muscles disorders\u00a0involve dysfunction, wasting, and pain of muscle fibers and muscle groups that may be due to malnutrition, hormonal imbalance, or autoimmune attack.<\/p>\n

Sedentary Lifestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n

A sedentary lifestyle will result in muscle wasting because unused muscles do not grow and eventually atrophy. The sedentary person is frequently blamed for being lazy. But, the effects of gluten can make one sedentary. Gluten sensitivity reactions and malnutrition from celiac disease will cause a child or adult\u00a0to be sedentary because their bodies are continually\u00a0mounting an attack on gluten or\u00a0they do not have the energy to be active.<\/p>\n

Malnutrition<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the muscles do not get the nutrients they need, they will waste away.<\/p>\n

Lack of proper nutrients in the diet will mean the muscles and connective tissue do not get what they need to grow and maintain themselves. Gluten and indirectly cause someone not to eat the nutrients he needs.\u00a0If a person experiences nausea when he eats or craves carbohydrates because he is chronically hypoglycemic from malabsorption, his diet will be unbalanced. Protein is needed for muscle growth, but it can only be absorbed if it is consumed.<\/p>\n

Consumption is only half the battle. Protein must be absorbed and gluten can lead to malnutrition by way of malabsorption in celiac\u00a0disease.\u00a0Malfunctioning glands that do not release enzymes necessary for protein digestion mean food is not prepared for absorption.\u00a0\u00a0Chronically inflamed intestines and flattened villi\u00a0are unable to absorb nutrients.<\/p>\n

Overexercise can be complicit in muscle wasting and weakness. A body that has trouble digesting and absorbing protein will not be able to build muscle that is broken down during exercise. That said, a person who is sick may crave the endorphin release that exercise provides. Such a person will exercise, and possible overexercise beyond what\u00a0his body can handle.<\/p>\n

Food Sensitivities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Food sensitivities can cause muscle pain. Gluten is major culprit, but potatoes and other foods can cause inflammation and painful muscles. Finding which foods cause the individual pain is important for alleviating\u00a0muscle pains.<\/p>\n

Disease<\/strong><\/p>\n

Certain diseases will affect the muscles. Diseases that affect the nervous system, bones, and connective tissue will affect the muscles as well, since they are all connected.\u00a0Most diseases associated with gluten sensitivity and celiac disease are reversible, so identifying and\u00a0correcting these can improve or cure muscle issues. Even autoimmune diseases can see improvement if gluten is a trigger, but is removed from the diet.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> During pregnancy, maternal vitamin D deficiency has a major impact on structural development and gene expression profile of skeletal muscles in newborns which results in smaller muscles.<\/p>\n

Tip: Correcting Muscle Pain, Weakness and Wasting<\/strong>
\nReview the muscle disorders below. Follow the 6 Step Process for treating\u00a0each disorder. If nutrient deficiencies \u00a0are implicated, visit the deficiency pages to discover how to replenish the missing nutrient(s). Note \u00a0the other symptoms and disorders that deficiency causes to determine whether the same deficiency is causing other health problems that you or your doctor may not have linked to a deficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
