Gluten-Free and Bodybuilding

Bodybuilding

Bulking up and adding muscle does not have to be a difficult task. If you are sensitive to gluten or experience side effects from this substance, then you may be facing a bigger challenge. This type of condition will limit the foods that you can use in order to get the fitness results that you want. Some of the most common foods used for muscle building and faster recovery are full of gluten. These choices may impact the results that you get, and in some cases gluten can cause symptoms which may cause you to shorten sessions or even skip training completely.

Bodybuilding the gluten freeway requires some knowledge and smart food choices. Many weight lifters and physical fitness professionals are sensitive to this substance or cannot tolerate it at all. This can lead to many undesired side effects, and your muscle growth and recovery may not be as efficient when this is a problem. A large number of foods that contain protein and other essential nutrients also include gluten. The challenge is finding ways to meet your workout and nutritional requirements while avoiding any foods that contain gluten. This is possible but it may take some effort and research on your part

If you are a bodybuilder, then you probably already know that gluten is a form of protein commonly found in many grains. Gluten can be found in wheat, spelt, semolina, and other grains that are often used in order to increase protein consumption. Many grains that do not include gluten are processed with the same equipment as foods that do have gluten in them. This process can contaminate finished product and cause problems to those who are sensitive or intolerant to gluten.

Gluten can also be frequently found in many foods that are not grain based. This substance is a common binder used to thicken soups, fortify stews, and is also found in lunch meats and other unexpected sources. There is an increasing percentage of the population in the USA and around the world that cannot tolerate gluten. Baked goods often contain gluten because it helps to hold the ingredients together and allows rising to occur. If you have ever been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, then it is important to avoid this component completely. Even if you are not diagnosed with this condition you may still show signs of sensitivity whenever you eat foods that have any gluten at all.

Some of the most common gluten intolerance symptoms include:

  • Gas
  • Bloating
  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal cramping
  • Constipation
  • Pain in your connective tissues called Fibromyalgia
  • Chronic irritability
  • Excessive fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Weakness or pain in the extremities
How do You Become a Gluten Free Bodybuilder?

Becoming a gluten free bodybuilder means making different dietary choices without sacrificing the nutrients needed to achieve your health and physical fitness goals. There are many protein rich gluten-free foods that make exceptional choices for anyone who wants to bulk up and gain weight.

Start in the grocery store and read labels carefully. Some brands make sure that their products are gluten free while others are not as careful. Look through your usual grocery store to see if they offer a gluten free section. If the retailer does not offer the products, you need then you may consider finding another store or an online source. There are some specialty websites that cater to consumers who want or need to follow a gluten free diet.  These websites offer products that are a little more expensive than in stores, but offer better assurances that the food does not contain gluten and has not been contaminated during the manufacturing process.

You may want to discuss your nutritional needs with a dietary specialist to ensure that your daily diet provides all of the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that you need to stay healthy and reach your bodybuilding goals. Eating a gluten free menu means making careful food choices after some research, and when you choose the right foods you can still gain muscle and speed up your recovery.

Dr. Howard Peiper, who specializes in nutrition and is the author of “A Guide Through the Gluten-Free World,” describes gluten sensitivity as a chameleon-like condition which, depending on the individual, can cause skin problems, neurologic disorders, including severe headaches and impaired movement; autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, diabetes as well as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, asthma and chronic infections.

The good news about this condition is that awareness has steadily increased in the last 10 years and more gluten-free products are available now than ever before.Major supermarkets devote significant shelf space to these products, the FDA has established labeling guidelines for packaged gluten free food products, and the National Restaurant Association survey identified requests for gluten free food among the top 10 industry food trends.

I don’t often eat non-Korean food

but Mariam’s dish was exceptional.  I am accustomed to eating just plain rice but the tender meat together with the rice and other ingredients flavored with her sauce was a real taste treat.
