Fall Has Finally Arrived!

After a few days of high 80's and low 90's in PA in October....it is now fall!

Today we are gloomy....but do need the rain so I don't hear too much complaining. The high is in the 50's right now.

It just didn't seem right before when the leaves and turning and falling and we were sweating like crazy.

Is it fall-like at everyone elses homes?

It's been in the low to mid nineties here for days and days, and we've had several record breaking highs lately... but it finally cooled down here today, too. It was about 50 when I took the kids to school, and is supposed to be milder today. The trees haven't really even started turning yet, which is bizarre. My petunias are still growing like crazy, even though we, too need rain desperately... we're in full-out drought status. One of my close neighbors' (actually, they're also my best friend's parents) well has gone dry- which even though they had expected it, and it's an old shallow well.... it makes me exceedingly nervous! :unsure:

I have to agree, the leaves here are not all turning either. There are a lot of green trees yet and it does look weird.

I know we broke a few records this week.

NH has finally found fall for the most part we are a little behind but is chilly drizzly and the leaves are turning I am in central NH so the north is probably in full fall mood now :( I love and dislike fall all at the same time.

I have the love hate relationship as well with fall.

I love how pretty it is, I love the Halloween events, the cool nights when you get that nice breeze through the window

I hate knowing winter is coming, that I have to bundle up to leave my house, it's harder to get out of bed when it is dark and cold, sandals have to be put away, and you never know how long the cold will last in PA...will spring come in April or will it still snow in May :)

I love the apple fests, trips to the pumpkin patch and harvest season....I love Thanksgiving!!!! My favorite holiday.

I hate how Nov, Dec, and Jan are big holiday months but then there are no holidays until the Memorial Day weekend, I hate that it gets dark at 5...I barely get home after work and it feels like 10 at night.

I guess this all sums it up....:)

It's Fall -- I know because the radiators came on this evening. Last week it was something like 87 degrees F., tonight it's more like 47.

Our leaves are usually fully red and orange by now up here, but it is very late this year. And we, too, have had a wonderfully warm September and October (high 70's). But it's comin'...... :(

I only wish that our leaves on the trees here in Texas turned like they do up North. Our leaves turn from green to maybe red and then brown. Not the gorgous colors that ya'll have. It has been in the mid 90's to low 80's here I am still wareing my shorts. my daughter did have to ware a jacket on morning last week but it did get warm quickly. We are getting rain right now, but that is only because Mother Nature is upset about the Dallas Cowboys loss :angry: Those stupid cowgirls

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
