No answers for you, just empathy. I suffer the same thing. I live in Texas, it's still a balmy 80-something degrees outside at 11pm, and I'm wearing jeans, socks, a tshirt and a sweatshirt - and I'm still COLD.

I get too hot at night and wake up in a pool of sweat, and of course the instant I step out of bed I'm freezing again.

I've had nights where I had to get up to change my shirt (usually a tank top) and lay an extra layer between me and the sweat dampened sheets. Otherwise I lay there and shiver because the sheets are damp.

You are definitely not alone. :(

Count me in as another too cold, too hot person. My comfortable temperature bands are very limited. I have a sweatshirt on in mid-summer evening while talking to you, my standard evening garb. Sometimes I get to wear something short-sleeved during the day, though not often. Sweat up the bed at night after shivering when I get in :lol: I don't get it :(

I'm with you! Things have gotten better now that my thyroid is no longer out of whack. When it was, I had blankets everywhere. In my van, in every room of my house. I also had a lot of little fans because it didn't take much for me to overheat at all. At the time I was living in Alameda, CA where it was pretty much 70 degrees year round.

These days I need it to be 70. If it is, I am fine. But even a few degrees over that and I am sweating. If it's much cooler then I have to get out the winter clothes. I just turned 50. Don't know if my age is a factor or not. It was worse during my 40's.

Your not an oddball at all as you have seen. The only thing I have found that helps is a fan on low pointed at my bed. Usually I am cold when I go to bed but at some point I get too warm. I toss off the blankets to the side usually at some point in the night. I then will wake up a bit when I cool off and pull them back over me. I also find no matter what when I wake up in the morning even if I am a comfortable temp as soon as I get up I get overheated. It seems I am always adding or losing clothes. I was at the store today with a flannel shirt and a sweatshirt over it, I got some strange looks, as usual, since everyone else was in shorts and T's. Oh well at least we aren't alone in our oddly functioning body thermostats.

Thank God! I thaught I was just getting old. I used to winter sports and the hotter the summer day, the better. Now, if I'm out in the sun on a hot day, I feel like I'm going to spontaneously combust, and I dread going from the house to the car in the winter! Guess I'm not alone!

Add me to the broken thermostat club...was always a coldy until the past 10 years...now if is over 70 or humid I overheat extremely fast...also can't exercise past 7am unless its in the winter.

Since being diagnosed with celiac I was hopeful my heat intolerence would improve with diet change. No such luck-gotten worse - seems to have gotten worse every summer for several years.

I most recently was told I have heat induced urticaria - basically allergic to heat - still waiting for appt with allergist to confirm diagnosis.

Not after the first time it comes out of their mouth :D

Since they think it is all in your mind the next time you get too hot and start to sweat use their shirt (while they are still in it) and when they get offended say, 'What your shirt can't be wet, it's all in your mind)

Just kidding of course.

Yes, it is possible to have an allergy to heat/cold. My hubby is allergic to cold--breaks out in hives! About all you can do is avoid it :o

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Also, Vera Salt and Ava Jane's taste SO MUCH BETTER. Not sharp, and i need to use a lot less.

      I've recently researched a lot about salt lately. Celtics sea salts have minerals, which have been tested to include aluminum, cadmium, iron, lead, and microplastics. I used to use Redmond salt, but it tests as having aluminum, iron, and lead. I finally settled on 2 clean salts: Vera Salt, which you can only order from their web site. Also Ava Jane's which I got from Amazon. These are now the only 2 I use.

      Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure?

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had horrible reaction to lisinopril, a severe cough that kept me up all night. The cough is apparently common. I did better with irbesartan, no cough, and it controlled my BP better too.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JohannesW85! Your physician gave you bad advice in telling you to avoid gluten until the hospital calls you. Reducing gluten intake will invalidate celiac disease blood antibody testing but it will also invalidate the gastroscopy/biopsy if there is significant time involved between removing gluten and when the procedure is scheduled. The endoscopy/biopsy serves the purpose of checking for the damage caused to the lining of the small bowel caused by the inflammation inherent in celiac disease to that section of the intestines. If you remove gluten ahead of the procedure for a period of weeks or months, there may be enough healing of the intestinal lining to prevent detection of damage. Gluten is hidden in many manufactured food products that you would never expect to find it in. It can also be found in medications, health supplements and oral hygiene products. It is easy to eat a lower gluten diet by cutting out major sources such as bread and pasta but much more difficult to achieve a truly gluten free state. There is significant learning curve involved. Current recommendations for the "gluten challenge" in preparing for celiac disease testing are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a period of at least 2 weeks. But I would certainly extend that time period to make sure the testing is valid. You might also be dealing with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than Celiac disease. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By JohannesW85 · Posted

      Hello everybody!  I am a Swedish guy 39 years old with typ 1 diabetes. I signed up on this forum because I need som help with my problems with my stomach that have been going for 2 years mabey a little more.  My problems is following: I have egg burps, its taste like rotten eggs also called sulphur burps, and it’s so horrible. After the burps mabey, a 4-5 hours, I must have a toilet nearby because then I have diarrhea. And that can last for a day mabey, sometimes a couple of hours. When I have going to the bathroom and the diarrhea is over no more burping. After wards I am so tired and get sometime headaches. When I got these episodes I must call in sick to my work because I can’t work I am so exhausted.    I have been to my house doctor and have taken tests. I took blood samples gluten and lactose. I have also this week taken feces samples, that I am gooing to leave to the doctor at the end of this week so they can take it into the lab.    When i first visit my doctor is was not my regularly house doctor, and he sad mabey it’s gluten so stay gluten free and see if helps. Well, I did it and like for 10 days everything was so good, I hade some constipation but no burps or loose stools. But then after those 10 days my doctor called me and asked me If  I had taken a test for gluten, which I had but she said ok but it’s negative have you been eaten gluten when you did take the test and I said no, so the test was negative of course.  She also had looking over my blood samples and I have  ”Postive for HLA-DQ2, subtype DQ2.5 ”  And because I have diabetes typ 1 the doctor wanted me too to go the hospital to get a gastroscopy. I am wating for my time in the line for do that. I have also for a month now getting some kind of rash, it looks like blisters don’t know if I can upload a picture to show it?  I try my best to be gluten free, but this weekend I was out with some friends but I drank gluten free beer but also redbull with vodka and I got really drunk and mabey I got my friends glass and I had been drinking regular beer no gluten free.  My doctor said stay gluten free until the hospital calls you. So I am, but still it can take 4-5 days I got egg burps and then diarrhea, and I can’t for my life figure out how i got gluten in me. The only thing that 3 weekends in a row now, I have been drinking beer gluten free and booze.  The booze have also been gluten free. Still when the weekend have passed by it got new episodes of burps and diarrhea. I have also have this kind of episodes when I’m not drinking any alkohol. We have also clean out everything that is gluten in our home.  I feel so confused about this, I mean is it so easy to get gluten in your body?    Sorry for long wall of text I hope you had the time to read everything.
