The "Real Feel" temperature was 107. It is so humid that my glasses steamed up when I got out of the air condidioned car and I couldn't see where I was walking.

Something that is more associated with winter...and I see we have heat advisories again for tomorrow. I heard on the news tonight the overnight low for my area is 76. It was too hot to even sit on my balcony and read tonight.

So update, it feels hotter outside right now @ 11:30 than it did yesterday.

And I loved the wonderful thunderstorm we had at 4 AM this morning, it shook my house. We did get a steady rain for 3 hours which was nice. When we got up for work this morning from the rain and it being 76 overnight, all the windows were steamed up from the outside....it was so strange I never saw anything like it.

I don't know if we had a thunderstorm--if so, I slept through it :P We did get rain, though--which we needed.

I went out at around 9:30, and it was oppressive. I heard it's supposed to break tomorrow--hope so. I can't imagine how people who have to work outside in this manage.

Today it is to reach 100 degrees and with the high humidity it will feel like 115 degrees. And I can't get the old, old cats in the house. This is very dangerous weather.

Three more days of this then we get a break to the high 80's.

I did hear a break was coming for the weekend. Nice beach weather though. I bet the ocean temp is real warm. It was nice when we were at the shore a few weeks ago.

How about feels like 100* at 10 pm in Downtown Memphis !!!!

It's so hot here......how hot is it?......it's so hot that the chickens are laying fried eggs!

Sorry.......the heat is frying my brain! Our 7 day forecast is for 7 more days of 100* days!

They're talking low humidity and 84 tomorrow--I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi Ann--I've missed you! Nice channeling of Johnny Carson there :lol:

Here are some stats from our newspaper today:

Sitting on a park bench - 114 degreees

Sidewalk - 135 degrees

Ocean Temp - 82 degrees

Sand on the Beach - 132 degrees

Boardwalk - 119 degrees

We are suppose to have some kicker thunder storms this afternoon and Saturday a pleasant 85 degrees.

ohh the ocean temp sounds very nice!!! Sand sounds hot though, so that wouldn't be fun. Boardwalk would be nice but too hot to enjoy.

Be safe with the coming hurricanes!

Today in North Carolina the thermometer indicates 100 degrees (in the shade) and the relative heat is 112 degrees.

Last night we had our first thunderstorm (or rain of any kind) in a months time. It's awful!

How about you?

Here in Southwestern Idaho at 5,000 ft it has cool off from last month when we reach 95 or better for a few days.; but no rain for about 2 months and it is dry. Temperature today is about 85 degrees outside but higher inside the motor home. it cools off at night so we need the electric blanket.

Thanks!! I loved Johnny Carson! Off topic, but Craig Ferguson is hysterically funny.....in case you get a case of the up -late-at-nighters!

We had 9 days of >100* and ended the streak today, thank goodness! 5 of those days were new record highs, and 4 tied old ones! Tomorrow a balmy 96*..........

Did you get back to the 80's??

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease. Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease. Though having the genes for Celiac...

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease.   Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease.  Though having the genes for Celiac is not diagnostic in and of itself, taken with the antibody tests, the anemia and your reaction to gluten, it may be a confirmation you have Celiac disease.   Do discuss Gastrointestinal Beriberi with your doctors.  In Celiac disease, Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.  The digestive system can be affected by localized Thiamine deficiency which causes symptoms consistent with yours.  Correction of nutritional deficiencies quickly is beneficial.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, helps improve intestinal health.  All eight B vitamins, including Thiamine (Benfotiamine), should be supplemented because they all work together.   The B vitamins are needed in addition to iron to correct anemia.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.
