So, I would assume it means that if the risk of developing celiac disease in the general population is 1%, people with the DQ2 gene have a 10% risk of developing celiac disease. So, have you or your physician concluded that you have celiac disease? -

Here's the test result I was refering to. I may not be understanding this correctly. -

Thanks for the update @TerryinCO! Would you elaborate what you mean when you say your genetic tests show that you are "10x higher" for developing celiac disease? 10x higher than what? There are two main genes, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, that have been identified as providing the potential for developing celiac disease. Since 40% of the population carries one... -

I would stop Xanax. It will eat away at your DAO enzymes needed to break down histamine . No energy drinks will do the same. I use to have all reactions in stomach now it's changed and started in my chest , which completely sucks and bummed. Maybe your reacting to high histamine foods. But it's hard to avoid cross contamination. I would get pea milk made... -

I haven't been on the site for a while and I have some update info. Genetic tests show I have the Celiac markers and high risk for Celiacs's (10X it shows). Immoglobulin A and G are low - just below the 'green' range; immoglobulin M is in the 'green'. Zinc, Iron, magnesium, ferritin, and b12 are all in the 'green' range. I've been off the PPI...

Thanks for the update @TerryinCO! Would you elaborate what you mean when you say your genetic tests show that you are "10x higher" for developing celiac disease? 10x higher than what? There are two main genes, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, that have been identified as providing the potential for developing celiac disease. Since 40% of the population carries one or both of these genes but only 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease, the genetic test cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease, simply to establish the potential for developing it. Gene testing is usually done to rule out celiac disease vs. NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). In other words, if gluten consumption is definitely causing someone problems but they don't have the genetic potential for developing celiac disease then the diagnosis would be NCGS. We also know that having both DQ2 and DQ8 puts one at higher risk for developing celiac disease than having just one or the other. But I'm not sure I've ever seen it quantified as in "10x higher". Not sure what you mean by this.

I would stop Xanax. It will eat away at your DAO enzymes needed to break down histamine . No energy drinks will do the same. I use to have all reactions in stomach now it's changed and started in my chest , which completely sucks and bummed. Maybe your reacting to high histamine foods. But it's hard to avoid cross contamination. I would get pea milk made by ripples .it's a blue bottle . Ru getting cross reactions? Corn gets me. If it says gluten free it's probably not. Nibble at new foods and wait for reactions. Could be sudden or take 2 hours but some people think it hits 2 days later no way. Avoid coffee. Stick to free range chicken and steak or fish . Do lentils package by kroger works for me it doesn't even say gluten free but works for me just rinse well. Make big soups with sweet potatoes, cauliflower, brocoli, cucumbers, and add lentils or cook lentils separate taste better. If you can do potatoes add those inn huge plus. If you can do dairy yogurt try Noosa or a certified gluten free one. Don't smoke I had to quit creates heat and acid in your stomach which lowers your vitamins to break food down. Your reactions are in your chest . Do smoothies everymorning with apple. 🥒 cucumbers, arugula , oranges or add what you can tolerate with water. Try a peppermint tea certified gluten free that works for you. Watch out for spices like turmeric they add flour fillers to prevent caring. I got hit hard by that. If you have a huge attack get the pin or eat oranges quick. If quinoa works for you get certified huge plus. I could go on and on . Just nibble first wait and see then continue eating it. It's hard to find nuts that work for you. Maybe try nuts.com..... enter with caution

I haven't been on the site for a while and I have some update info. Genetic tests show I have the Celiac markers and high risk for Celiacs's (10X it shows). Immoglobulin A and G are low - just below the 'green' range; immoglobulin M is in the 'green'. Zinc, Iron, magnesium, ferritin, and b12 are all in the 'green' range. I've been off the PPI for two weeks now and no real problems...minor heart burn and OTC antacids fix that. So that's good to be off of that for good. I switched to a b complex sub lingual vitamin. I was surprised about the genetic results on Celiac markers. To my knowledge no one in my family had it or were diagnosed with it. But they could have had and never been diagnosed. And at 76 this has come up for me. Gluten free diet is going well and I do feel better on it - nothing major in changes - just better. I appreciate all the advice I've gotten on this site - lots of experience knowledge to draw on here. So thank you, all.
