Obviously we want to raise our body temperatures, and a low body temperature indicates a low metabolism.
However, is there a lowere level that is actually dangerous? Ive just started reading these books etc and my temperature is very low. Today it is 35.8C (96.44F)
Feeling sad, worried and anxious :(
Hypothermia occurs at 35C (95F), so unless you are experiencing a shock or trauma and your temp is going down quickly, that is a “normal” low temp and you probably don’t need to go to the hospital.
Mine has gone that low, even a bit lower when I tried GAPS for a week. I felt awful, worst I’ve ever felt, but it came up some when I ate some white rice.
What kind of thermometer are you using?
I’m using an ear thermometer, and you have to really work it to get a good temperature. I think I’ve finally found a good spot to aim for… but it could be how you’re measuring your temp is resulting in a low temp reading. If you just use that as a basis to see if what you’re doing is moving it higher, the trend should be ok – even if the absolute value is reading low.
