Well, here in Indiana it is cold and dreary again and I was so excited earlier this week when it was warm. I am going to have to wear my winter coat again and I thought I was done for the season!!!!

I so want it to be warm again.

Spring... We're predicted to get more snow this week. Hrmph... Hopefully the forecast is wrong, wrong, wrong... I don't have many winter maternity clothes and I'm starting to get big. I really can't wait to switch to capris.

Rachel- It started out at 58 or so this morning now we are down to 42...and it is getting windy and rainy...chilly.

Last night I slept with our bedroom window open, it was 57 overnight. It was so nice. We turned down the thermostat an awful lot as well. Looks like we will be coming home to a very cold house. :)

We hit 74 here yesterday, and this morning the weatherman said wet snow possible tomorrow afternoon! :o

I still have some windows open, but the air is getting cooler. :angry:

Capris and shorts are pretty much all I bought for maternity wear. I have two pairs of jeans and a pair of khakis from my last pregnancy. My long sleeved maternity shirts aren't fitting right anymore and I'm starting to have to layer my maternity tank tops with zip up front sweatshirts. It's getting frustrated. My big maternity clothing is all summer/spring since I'll be pregnant all summer. I shopped as soon as I got pregnant and got some crazy deals on Oldnavy.com. Now I'm just dying to wear the stuff!!! It sure would be nice if the weather got warm. Tori's itching to play outside again. I'm itching to sit outside again. This weather just stinks right now. March is a horrible month. :)

Up here on BC's north coast we've had snow on the ground since before Halloween, or put another way, for five months. Good thing I like snow! There's a few flowers poking up on the south side of houses and the odd p%$#@# willow, but that's it so far.

74!!! That's almost summer!! :)

Love, love love !! the (temporary) spring here in London (Around 17 degrees c, low 60's f)

It's bright and sunny and I even got out in the garden and cut the grass!! (I love that smell :D )

...but it gets chilly as soon as the sun goes in and is forecast to have a distinct drop in temp next week :angry:

Roll on summer !!!!!

Its been raining for six weeks here. I'm not kidding. The only way I noticed that it was heading for spring was that the rain got warmer and had less solid bits in it. That and the wind had died down some. Saying that, I wear the same stuff all year round. Difference is, in winter I wear it all on the same day and in summer I wear it spread over several weeks.

I can't believe it can go from 74 to snow in some places. That's just crazy. It's 71 here today. Hopefully it will stay that way for a while.

I can't wait for spring to finally stay around! I noticed that my tulips are starting to come up from the ground along with my day lillies and irisis. I can't wait until they bloom. I really love this time of year..the beginning of nicer weather, because I love to garden and take care of my plants and flowers. However..I am enjoying that extra couple of hours of daylight! That sure helps beat the winter blues. I can atleast go outside when I get off work and work in the yard. Summer will be here soon!! :)

74!!!! Break out the air conditioners!! (I'm in Seattle) (where today we have "filtered sunshine") (which is a polite way of saying 'overcast') (which is a polite way of saying 'gray, but not raining at the moment').

Spring is down in Southern BC :lol: Actually Murray, I spent 27 years in Prince Rupert ... anywhere near where you are? My family is still up there, in the cold :rolleyes:

Ah yes, 74 is nice if it sticks around... Yesterday it was 80 degrees here, today we're back down to 38 degrees. What a tease!!! I'm glad I didn't put my winter jacket away!!! To think we went from playing outside in t-shirts to this just makes my heart ache. I want spring.

Same here ... two days ago it was almost 80 degrees and I was having a good day health-wise, so I went out and cut down my perennials. I wanted hubby and the kids to mulch the beds this weekend because everything is starting to grow back in (it's so much easier to do before the plants grow!), but it looks like it will be too cold!

I'd rather have a good day or two sneak in and have to go back to normal, than not have the good day at all! It was fun while it lasted, but I look forward to spring.

last week was snow at the beginning of the week - staying on the ground for a day or two - followed by sunny, nearly summer-like temperatures. now it's raining enough to keep me from going to the mountains for skiing. :blink:

I'm in Saskatchewan. This year we've had the MOST snow that my kids can remember. It's the most that I can remember in a good 15 years (40% more than average, I believe). It's about 4 feet deep in my whole back yard. The city is sending us notices of how to deal with the melt this year, and avoid basement flooding. And it was NASTY cold for a good part of February. We actually had about a week of above freezing temps in early March, so things started to thaw, got a good layer of water all over everything, and now it's frozen solid again. -27C (-17F) yesterday (-35F with the windchill). They say it's going to +4C (39F) on Saturday, so at least we will be melting again. I bought some lily bulbs on-line last week, so the snow better melt in time to plant them!!

So, for all of you with tulips coming up - I envy you <_< .

no tulips here....lots of mud from the previous thaws...and now it is snowing, and from what I hear going to get heavier all day long.

Angie-Tory might get to build her snowman we are looking at a foot...too bad it is going to be heavy wet snow.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
