Higher Temp Than Everybody Else?

[Krystens mummy]

Just noticed over the last few months that my body temerature is always at least 1/2 a degree higher than everyone else in my family. I am always reading between 37 and 37.5 degrees (99-99.5) is this due to gluten intollerance?

Actually, your temperature is the ideal body temperature, and if everybody else's temperature is below 37 degrees, they are the ones with the problem!

Hi,

37 is the average body temp for healthy people (eg: if a bunch of healthy people are herded together and their temperatures taken the average would be 37), this is only a guide, it doesn't mean that if you are slightly above or slightly below that there is something wrong with you. My body temperature is usually 36.7 and that is just what is normal for my body. I don't get above 37 unless I am sick. I guess you just need to know what is normal for your body and take it from there.
