Welcome to the forum, @np1209! Your understanding of the gene testing results is correct. DQ2 and DQ8 are the primary genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease. My understanding is also that DQ2 alone represents stronger potential than DQ8 alone. But we need more information with regard to your antibody test results. You need to include not only the raw test scores but the reference ranges. There are no industry standards for reference ranges yet as each lab develops the tests a little differently. Another question I have is are the results you posted above reflective of all antibody tests that were ordered? I don't see a listing for "total IGA" which should always be included so as to check for IGA deficiency. IGA deficiency can result in false negatives on individual IGA antibody tests. You won't be able to edit your first post so please repost the info with additions.

Hello! I’m in the process of testing and wanted to see if anyone could help me interpret my results or recommend further testing. It appears my genetic test was positive for DQ2 and DQ7. All other testing was negative and I have been consuming gluten in decent amounts.  I’m interpreting this as being at risk, but likely not positive for a celiac diagnosis? Would love to hear anyone’s insight. Thanks! GLIADIN AB, DEAMID. IgG: 7 TTG IgA: <1 TTG IgG: <1 GLIADIN AB, DEAMID. IgA: 1   hla-dqa1: 05, 05 hla-dqb1: 02:01, 03:01 serologic equivalent: DQ2, DQ7 interpretation: Out of Range Moderate Risk: Genotype present: HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05+, DQB1*02+). HLA-DQ2 is associated with genetic susceptibility for celiac disease.

Looked this up.   Yes, forgiveness and bearing with people is people is vital.  

I must admit I've been on both sides.  Before my diagnosis, and in my ignorance, I thought all the special diets we see around us today were unnecessary and people were making a big fuss over nothing.  There is a shop in the small town where I live that sells organic and gluten free food and I used to see people walking in and buying things and thought they were being a bit ridiculous spending extra money on what I thought was a fad.  Yet since my diagnosis that shop has been a real lifesaver.  I guess It is hard for people to see the necessity of all this extra effort if they haven't experienced celiac disease personally, or observed the way gluten affects someone they love.  Honestly, I have wondered at times if I would have been as understanding had my husband been diagnosed with coeliac disease instead of me. He has been great.   It must be incredibly difficult if your close friends and family aren't supporting you.  I have read some awful stories from coeliacs where friends and families have not just been unsupportive, but go out of their way to continue serving up gluten.   In such extreme cases, where harm is actually being done, serious thought needs to be taken about removing oneself from harm's way.  That all said, I find that the world is now so full of people struggling with autoimmune illnesses now, allergies and intolerances, that people are definitely becoming more attuned to things.    Word is getting out there. In 2022 a long-running popular TV series in the UK, Doc Martin, ended with a final case: a patient being diagnosed with coeliac disease.  I don't know if anyone saw it but I was so heartened by that episode, that celiac disease was given centre stage for the last ever programme. The patient in question had been suffering from a horrible rash which turned out to be dermatitis herpetiformis. He also had anemia, felt faint and was plain exhausted.  It would have been good education to anyone watching who didn't know about the disease and they would have been left in no doubt about its seriousness and the need to follow a strict gluten-free diet.  I thought to myself as it ended, well, now, that's another piece in our campaign to make coeliac disease better understood!
