I'm Cold!?

Until my diagnosis in October 2013, I was always warm, wearing shorts when it was above 25 F outside.  Last winter, I was colder than I had ever been and the only changes were a gluten-free diet and aging.  This fall I'm starting to get cold at 30 F!

 

This summer is the first one that I haven't been absolutely miserable during the summer, and it was the hottest summer I've experienced in Seattle.

 

Does recovery include having a more 'normal' experience of the weather?

Have you had your thyroid levels checked recently? I know since I've been hypothyroid I'm cold all the time and my body temperature is even one degree lower than it used to be.

Several nutritional problems can also cause you to feel cold. Low B-12 was doing it to me. Have your Dr check your vitamin and mineral levels. Thyroid, as heatman said, can also cause a "broken thermostat".

 

I have no idea why this thing is writing in italics. It just started doing that. HELP! My computer is possessed!!!!!

I have been wondering the same. 

 

For the first time in my life, I have 1) not been suffocating all the time, and 2) my body temperature went from 97.4 average lifelong, to NORMAL at 98.6!

 

I have found that it is very strange to be getting more healthy as I age.  I went off wheat, and starting taking a lot of missing minerals.  I got better.

 

On the other hand, my allergies are worse this fall...but that could be the weather...very strange here in California, actually having a little rain!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
