DQ2.2 Homozygous

Hi, 

 

can someone please help me to decipher my nutrahacker results? I have also done a Randox gene test which told me I have HLQ-DQA1*03. Does this and my nutrahacker results suggest I may have a disposition to celiac disease? I have my endoscopy next week to determine whether I actually have it.

I can't read the results that are cut off below the first table, but it looks like you are positive on the very top line of the first table, the DQ2.2, is that correct? 

I am no genetic expert on your exact risk, but the company who did this test should be able to give you that info. Have you contacted them about your results?

Hi, thank you for you reply. That’s what I thought. I will try contacting them but they don’t really offer a consultation service. I have my endoscopy Wednesday so might as well just wait for the results of that.

Sure, have you been eating ~2 slices worth of wheat bread or equivalent for the last couple of weeks? This is required before an endoscopy for celiac disease. Let us know how it goes!

I had my genetic testing done as well although the results were not quite as detailed as yours are. I did post them on this site but did not get any response. I have to assume that most do not have this testing done. Like you I was lost at what the results meant so I reached out to the online lab I used to get them done and the reply is that they are not medical doctors and cannot diagnose or interrupt the results. I did an exhausting online search and found genetic test results to be confusing. I pulled this from one of those searches...

To explain the genes that are associated with celiac disease, I've taking excerpts from About.com -

Jane Anderson's Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease: Celiac Disease Genetic Testing:

"The genes that predispose you to celiac disease are located on the HLA-class II complex of our DNA, and they're known as the DQ genes. Everyone has two copies of a DQ gene - one from their mother and one from their father. There are numerous types of DQ genes, but there are two that are involved in the vast majority of celiac disease cases: HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8".

HLA-DQ2

"People who have two copies of HLA-DQ2 (a very small percentage of the population) carry the highest overall risk for celiac disease. People who are HLA-DQ2 homozygous also have an increased risk for at least one type of refractory celiac disease (which occurs when the gluten-free diet doesn't seem to work to control the condition), and for enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, a type of cancer that's associated with celiac disease."

      @sillyyak52, If it makes you feel any better, I have a sibling who thinks the dinner table (at fine dining restaurants, and less formal pub grub settings etc.) is a personal buffet table and dips into the food of whoever is sitting beside or opposite to them just to get a taste (no plate is safe!) ... never asks for permission ... and has no consideration of gluten cross contamination even though I've explained it diplomatically with articles, pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis (which I've had for years) like @knitty kitty and I both suggest you do. I avoid that sibling at restaurants now and sit at the opposite end of the table out of arms reach! I've had similar treatment at a recent siblings 60th BBQ with family and friends (brought my own food and burger), where I was told (in a very rude manner) "tough luck, there's nowhere safe ... just cook your burger on the BBQ" which was cross contaminated ... I stood my ground and asked for a clean frying pan to cook my burger safely and separately.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.
