  Thank you for sharing your genetic test results and background. Your results indicate you carry one half of the DQ2 heterodimer (DQA1*05), which is associated with a very low celiac disease risk (0.05%). While most celiac patients have either DQ2 or DQ8, these genes are also present in people without celiac disease, so the test alone doesn’t confirm a diagnosis. ...

After a small intestine biopsy last fall, we were told that she has severe celiac disease. She is taking both levothyroxine and leothyronine for her hypothyroidism and both hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone...
