Wow- What a day! I had the meeting today to defend the qualifying exam I took back in June for my PhD in Literacy. I was terrified. But the defense went pretty well and I was aked to leave the room so they could discuss the outcome. Longest 5 minutes of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They brought me back in and told me I passed without revisions (most people have to do revisions/rewrites). I almost cried. I was so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally. It's been 4 years to get to this point and now I can finally say I'm a candidate. :D

OMG- funniest response yet. One of my co-workers said "I wish there were more PhD's like you. You're a valuable loose canon" I almost bust a gut laughing. I like the you are one smart Mountain Dog even better. You're a pretty smart dingo yourself (that sounds like an oxymoron :P )

Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!! Funny thing is.... you only get to feel important for about an hour before you realize you still have to do the laundry, clean the cat box, cook :P

Carrie- I'm not done yet. I still have to do a dissertaion but YES I am so glad I am doing this. It's been my dream for a long time and there have been several times where I thought "I just can't take it anymore" but somehow, you wake up the next morning and realize you can. It's one of the hardest but best things I've eer done.

Susie- Since my area is literacy and the dingos ARE so smart maybe my dissertaion can be about teaching them to read :P

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting?

When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks. Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference. Then after...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.

Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/
