I'll Be Gone For A Week

Just in case somebody wonders where I am, my husband and I are leaving very early tomorrow morning (Saturday, Feb. 16th) to go to Queretaro, Mexico until Sunday, Feb. 26th.

A friend of ours was transferred to Mexico for five years last year. He is an engineer working for Michelin, and the plant he was working at was shut down. It is hard to find good engineers, so they transferred him.

His wife is desperate for visitors from Canada! So, we are doing her the favour and will make the great sacrifice to spend a week with them. :lol:;):P

Being gluten-free shouldn't be a problem, since we are staying in a private house, and Judy and I will go shopping together for food. Plus, I told her what I can and can't eat beforehand. I hope I'll be just fine.

I'll give you all a report when I get back.

Enjoy your trip Ursa!!! I am so jealous that you will be in warm weather... although you deserve it more being from Canada than I do in North Carolina. But still, I would love some hot weather right now.

Anyway, eat some guacamole for me and have a safe trip!!! You are a great friend to make such a sacrifice! ;)

Thank you guys! Actually, where we are going it isn't hot in the winter. At night it is supposed to go down to 5 degrees Celsius (41 degree Fahrenheit), and the warmest time of the day will be anywhere from 17 degrees C (62.6 degrees F) to 25 degrees (77 degrees F). And it isn't humid, either (about 62% humidity).

Mind you, I suffer in humid heat and these are perfect temperatures for me.

I do too Ursa--that climate would be perfect for me too. Humidity, when it's high, actually feels like it's stifling me.

See you when you get back!

Have fun and best wishes on sharing a kitchen. It sounds like lovely weather. We have had 0 degree temps here.

Have fun!

I've never been to Queretaro, but I lived in Guanajuato which is, from what I hear, fairly similar. Having said that, I would bring a wind resistant jacket of some sort because there can be really biting winds, especially at night.

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
