I just started a gluten free diet and have zero energy. I figure they're related, is this normal?

It might be if you're not getting enough essential vitamins and other nutrients from raw fruits and vegetables.

No. It's not normal.

For a start, I would recommend that you go out and buy a good one a day multivitamin and mineral combination (gluten free) plus some fish oil capsules and start taking them every day.

Then you need to look at your diet in the round. Does it have a good level of carbohydrates (these are your main energy source)? Remember, you can get carbs from rice, corn, potatoes, peas, beans and various other places, including other gluten-free grains. And of course, sugar is pretty much pure carbohydrate, though I don't recommend adding huge quantities to your diet.

Also make sure you are eating a good quantity of fruit and/or vegetables - preferably fresh - (excluding potatoes). You should get at least 5 portions of these a day. Juicing them is fine. Also add some nuts - NOT peanuts, but brazils, walnuts, cashews, pecans...

Finally, you need at least 4-5 oz of protein (meat, fish, cheese, eggs) a day and some fat or oil - because some of our essential nutrients can't be found except in fats and oils. Butter is better for you than most margarines (it has recently been discovered), because most margarines contain trans-fats and butter doesn't. If you are using it in cooking, butter, olive oil and grapeseed oil are the safest, as they don't turn to trans fats when you heat them up.

If you have little or no energy, I guess you have reduced the amount of exercise you are doing, or eliminated it entirely. This is a bit like keeping a horse in the stable for a few weeks before a race, so as not to tire it out. When he finally gets loose, he won't have the stamina to complete a race at all.

Instead, what you need to do is to go along to your local gym and make an appointment with a trainer. When you meet him/her explain your situation and ask for a graded series of exercises to help you get back to fitness. Then follow them.

Yes it is normal not to have much energy,i've been on a glutten free diet for over one year and have lost 40lbs.I have Celiac disease and It's diffecult to eat properly but you have to do the best you can sign up for the celiac newsletter for starters

My sister was eating almost constantly after she was diagnosed. You might need to make sure you're getting enough iron and fibre, and experiment with lots of food until you find stuff you like.
