Hii,, I have been diagnosed for 2 and a half years now and have just joined a bootcamp to try and feel a bit better, as I heard exercise helps, but now my knees are agony! Any one else suffer with bad joints and know how to help them???

    Maybe it's because of you starting high impact exercise suddenly, rather than coeliac disease itself (even though I know that coeliac disease can can cause osteoporosis). Maybe you could start out with more gentle exercise if you're not used to it?

    Where on earth did you find a boot camp, are you in USA?   My nhs GP has referred me to our local hydrotherapy pool for exercises, these are gentle but quite demanding and are doing me a power of good.

    I have been going to a bootcamp (West Yorkshire) for over a year now well before I was diagnosed. I never understood all my symptoms but it always gave me temporary  releive from some of my neurological ones such as headaches and brain fog. I love it, some days I could do more than others and some exercises I had to avoid as I got really bad hip pain. Since going gluten free the hip pain seems to have gone and my fitness is better than ever.
