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.

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Buckwheat

      By trents · Posted

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
