Welcome to the forum community, @stormylynncoleman!

Having the DQ2.2 variant without also having the DQ2.5 genes puts you at a fairly low risk potential for celiac disease but doesn't eliminate the possibility. Having said that, genetic testing can only be used as a rule out tool rather than to diagnose celiac disease per se. 40% of the population have the genetic potential for developing celiac disease but on 1% of the population develop active celiac disease. It's takes the genetic potential but also some kind of triggering stress event.

Have you had celiac blood antibody testing done or have you been scoped with biopsy of the small bowel lining? These are actually diagnostic tests that can confirm celiac disease.

Post the blood antibody test scores along with their ranges for negative vs. positive and we'll help you with that. Type them in. Posters are having lots of trouble when trying to attach pics.

Category.  DQ genotype   increased risk 

8.      Dq2.        31x

7.  DQ other high risk gene 16x

6. Dq2/DQ8.    14x

5. DQ8 homo 10x

4. Dq2 10x

3.  DQ8 hetro 2x

2 DQ8 other low risk <1x

1 dq2/DQ8 <0.1x

 Sorry this is how I see it and that's pretty much all it shows other than saying I test positive for the dq2.2 hope that makes sense

I'm sorry. We miscommunicated. I thought you were speaking of blood antibody tests in your third post, not genetic tests. Here is what I mean: 

Blood antibody tests are usually the first thing doctors run when checking for celiac disease. If there are positives in the antibody testing then they will often order an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm. Genetic testing is sometimes used as corroborative evidence when antibody testing and the biopsy of the small bowel lining are inconclusive or there are medical reasons why a patient cannot resume gluten consumption after having gone gluten free.

      Augmentin (amoxicillin) syrup

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      By Peggy M · Posted

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.

      By ShRa · Posted

      Is Gliadin X recommended/safe for accidental glutening or where there is a risk of cross contamination? Or is there any other recommendation in such case? We travel alot to meet family and dine out as well. There is always risk of accidental glutening and cross contamination. Thanks.
