. I can adjust to cold better - you can always put on more clothes.

 

 

I said that for years, until that was just a crock.  :lol: (for me)

 

Well, 30 Celcius is warm, but not  oppressive. (to me)

 

If it's "too hot" down here,  you go inside....that's why they Invented central air.

 

Honestly, by the ocean, there is a breeze and I have been here in August and never felt like it was that horrid.

 

Maybe our bodies are all different? I tolerate extreme cold for a while and then,  can tolerate extreme hot the same way....I'd prefer moderate, of course.

 

Next time you come here, please call me :)

Yes, I think you are right. We're all different and used to different things... 30C is warm but not oppressive?  LOL When it hits 30C up here, which is usually does for a week each summer, I am melting. It's not warm enough for air conditioning up here unless you are in the richer area. The bedrooms on the upper floor get sooo hot but I can't justify AC when we only need it 10 days a year... Darn it.  B)

 

After I wrote how 10C is shorts weather I stopped to think about how my teeth will chatter when I first sit in a car on a cold day - you know when it's cold enough that the heater can't actually make it warm in the car until you get moving?  I'm not as tough as I like to think I am.  LOL

well, I think you're a pretty tough cookie, hon! ;)  (in a good way!!) 

 

And for all my tough girl talk, let's see how I feel about "extreme hot" this July. Maybe it's different when you are just "visiting" as opposed to 

living it for months and months. 

 

I'll probably have to start a "Hot sweltering summer" thread and whine there..... then you can say "told ya, Irish".  :lol:

It is 1 degree farenheit / -17 c and the schools stayed open!  Rabbits are in the tub as the temp is dropping to -6 F.

 

Today I would move in a heartbeat!  Everyone here has the winter blahs.  Seriously we are all vitamin D deficient.

10" on the ground already, still coming down hard, 19* and I'm starting to get the chills down to my bones. Something tells me I am going to be sick real soon.

It's been really warm here (50's) for the past couple of weeks, but tomorrow night it's supposed to go down to 6 below with a 20 below wind chill. But by Friday it'll be back in the 50's. :)

 

Shadow usually get's nearly the same weather we do. I haven't seen her here in a while. Hey Shadow, are you OK?

oh thank goodness, I just asked Karen if she had "seen you" on any of the threads. I figured you were on break, but when I do not see you for a while, I do start to worry a little bit.... What can I say, you're our "kid". lol

 

OK

 

It is cold here today and I know you are all happy about it so :P The neighbors cover their veggie  gardens at nighttime. 

 

I am still wearing sandals and stubbornly refuse to give in. I did put one of J's shirts on over my gym clothes and if you can imagine a 5'4" woman wearing a 6'4" guy's flannel shirt, the sleeves rolled up 5 times over, the shirt looking much like a dress, then you've got a visual

on my very chic attire this morning. B) a walking giant plaid glamour don't! eh, who cares...still had on my shorts. he he he 

 

Friends back  in NY report 6 degrees and a few inches of new snow. I'll keep my "flannel dress" and stick it out for a few days of "cold" snap....because by tomorrow it will back in the 70's.

Who's the wise guy that  sent the polar vortex down here?

 

It was 40 at 6:00 am. That's just wrong. I had to drape my sleeping cat over me like a blankie to stay warm.

I know I should be thankful, but I am sick of summer and long for some rain. It is so dusty and dirty! I bought some new winter clothes during the holidays and I can not even wear the sweaters. Flip flops and capris are my daily attire with a hoodie tossed on when evening comes or I shop.

That said, my heart goes out to those I snowy areas. I have not had to live through a cold winter since I was a toddler (and have no memories of it!)

Have great day and I will keep on dusting and sweeping.

I don't like heat either. I love it when it rains though.

Woohoo! Alberta was warmer than Florida. Nah-na-na-na-nah! :P It was 10C here most of the day - that's about 50F, right? It's supposed to snow in a day but I'll enjoy this while I can.

 

My MIL called to say their snowdrops and crocuses are up and blooming out on Vancouver Island... the ground here is still so frozen that when I dropped my metal water bottle in the yard, it was dented.  LOL Crocuses are for April or May out here.

Oh hush up, you little wiseacre!  :lol: Tomorrow, it should be back up in the 70's. Thank goodness. I did not move here to have temps

less than Alberta! lol I do laugh at the people dressed in layers as if it's Vermont..

 

ohmygosh, I thought Vancouver Island was one of the most delightful places I have ever visited (this was years ago and I keep saying "we should go back there!" to the hubs but we're getting older and we have to visit other new places first. lol).

And I am giggling at the dented water bottle, having dented my butt a few times on frozen ground in NY. I was not very good at negotiating

icy sidewalks....lol

51 for a high today. Lows in the mid-30's. But by tomorrow night it's supposed to drop to 2 below.

 

What a rollercoaster this winter has been!

Seriously. It's like Mother Nature is bipolar or something this year. I can't leave the house at any given moment without checking the weather because not only between days, but in the same day I have no idea if I will go from needing a coat to not or vice versa. Mother Nature needs to get back on her meds.

Because it looks like after that we will be warming slowly! I know it is Feb. and we are still getting snow and cold till end of March. but hopefully we are done with this bitter cold.

They said on the radio yesterday that the rollercoaster here is over, and to expect a normal February. OK, so that means it's going to be stinking cold for the next month! :angry: So far the forecast shows it. Cold (a little below zero last night), near 50 tomorrow, then 30's for the forseeable future. We probably have at least one more good-sized snowstorm ahead before it's over too.

This is the most perfect description of the weather this wintah!  I love it....bipolar!  :lol:

 

It is 18 degrees F here in Boston today but I like it because the sun is out and shining brightly.  I can handle anything if the sun is out.  We have had our fill of grey, gloomy days so far.  I can handle grey and gloomy if it rains but not when there is dirty snow everywhere and I can't get my cah washed because it's too cold for the cah wash to run. Nothing worse than a cah covered in sand and salt......yuck!  And if Irishheart pipes up and tells me how clean her cah is in the 80 degree heat, I'll send the polar vortex down to get her!

I'm not sure she's going to be quite as amused, and maybe it's because I'm still a little loopy this evening, but that's pretty funny. I'd hide though, she may make good on that threat. It was almost warm enough today to sit out by a roaring fire to enjoy our pizza instead of staying inside, but my husband wasn't quite as adventurous as me. Oh well, maybe next time.

But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
