My thoughts, as a non-medical celiac person who has the genes, is talk to your doctor... And don't do anything right now based only on the genetic test. People can have the genetic markers and not develop the disease or symptoms until they are middle aged or more. The genetic test, as I understand it, tells us who might develop celiac not who definitely will.

Do you suspect that your child has celiac disease?   My understanding is that those without the celiac gene can not develop celiac disease.   Those with the celiac gene can develop celiac disease, but most still will not.

So, generally, the genetic test can rule out, but does not confirm celiac.   If you think you child has celiac, then you might want to talk to your doctor to schedule an endoscopy.

There is no such thing as a "gluten sensitive" gene. DQ2 is one of the celiac genes. As others stated, the gene test is more to rule out celiac but does NOT mean the person has celiac or will later present with celiac. About 1/3 of the population has the celiac gene(s) but they will not all develop celiac.

Having said that, it's not the norm but there are other genes associated with celiac - not common at all but it does happen.

thanks for the reply, Yes,I suspect my child either has gluten sensitive or celiac,but her blood test back negative, so I order stool test for her from enterolab, her test back giadin IGA and ttg Positive,so does it mean she has celiac or non celiac gluten sensitive?

With the results of the tests you have provided, the next step is a GI consult.  Verification of intestinal damage can only be obtained from biopsies via endoscopy per the majority of the world's leading celiac medical experts.   Once celiac disease is ruled out, then possibly a non-celiac gluten intolerance can be made.   Your daughter has had Lyme Disease (if I recall).  That adds a special set of complexities to the issue and one that is definitely beyond my knowledge (and most of our members).

I doubt you will find a GI doc or any other doc who will put any credence in the Enterolab results. See:

thanks,I did consult GI doctor but since her blood test were negative,so the GI doctor don't care what her lab test are which I order myself...and regarding the endoscope,she has been gluten free for 1 month,so for sure the test will be back inclusive...

but she did improve a lot without gluten on her diet,so I'm very sure she has gluten sensitive but just don't know if its celiac or not for now.

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref.

      Family education

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
