Hi 'ConfusedCelic'. I was very interested to read your post and the letter from Prof. Federico Biagi you linked to. Blown away actually! I am DQ7.5. I tested sero-negative for Celiac 10 days AFTER giving up gluten (August 2023) when I knew very little about this topic. I now know a whole lot. I am not game to do a gluten challenge. My body is still 'recovering'. I did my tests through my GP here in New Zealand although here the genetic result is termed differently which confused me for a while: DQA1*05 and DQB1*03:01 (DQA1*05) = DEMONSTRATED Relative risk for coeliac disease - VERY LOW It seems to me that statistics can give you slanted views. Perhaps what this really means is, there are a low percentage of people generally with this gene combination rather than the genes giving a low risk of developing celiac disease. The other thing that I found strange was, the letter and the work it referred to, talk about 'only having DQA1*05, not also having DQB1*02:01'. It doesn't seem surprising to me that there could be another combination of genes capable of causing celiac disease. On a local facebook chat this month, 2 people stated that they had been diagnosed celiac 30 years ago via biopsy when they were 2 and 3 respectively, and they have now 'learned' via private testing companies that they 'aren't celiac after all'. Presumably, they were only tested for the 'common' types. I am astonished at how much disinformation goes on. I have pointed them to the letter from Prof. Federico Biagi. Did you ever manage to complete the other genetic tests?

Got it…. 

Will do, excellent information, thank you Pasquale 

Does anyone know of egg nog that is certified gluten free and is safe to drink 

I will have to try them. Looks like same sugar in both regular and gluten free. Fingers crossed they taste the same. Thanks!
