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.

Yup, I'm from Kitimat...much like Rupert weather-wise, but less rain and more snow.

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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
