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!

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).

      @maylynn, No, I took over the counter thiamine supplements, thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  My doctors were not very knowledgeable about nutrition and vitamins, and they missed my symptoms being connected to vitamin deficiencies.  I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  My doctors just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover the symptoms of poor health due to malabsorption of nutrients. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, physically active, emotionally stressed and work outside in hot weather.  Thiamine works...
