I think Scott speaks truth. And I think there is more to this than the prospect of her having celiac disease. If it wasn't this issue, I'm betting it would be another. -

So one does need a specific inherited gene in order to develop celiac disease, so in some way I suppose anyone with celiac disease could take the negative approach of blaming their parents for getting it, however, it also takes some other environmental trigger, such as a specific virus or other factor, and this part is not necessarily caused by the parents... -
- Maria Deal commented on Scott Adams's article in Celiac Disease Basics7What are the Odds of Developing Celiac Disease based on HLA-DQA/DQB Genotype?
I’m trying to understand this as well. My “results” read “Negative” for the 2 main genes, but in the paragraph it does indeed say I carry another gene and half of another. So I called and asked. Lab said you do not need those 2 main genes to be diagnosed Celiac, it is just less likely. My doctor is trying to get me to eat gluten. I’ve been diagnosed for about 6...- celiac disease

So as some of you already know I was 47 turning 48 before my diagnosis so a lot and a lot of internal damage. I no longer obviously drink beer unless gluten-free variants of it but does anyone else really struggle when just drink any sorts of alcohol now. I'm really thinking going tea total and avoiding it completely -

Hi CathiJean, Wipe those tears my friend. Finding out that you have celiac just gave you the cheat code on how to start feeling better! It may feel like a loss right now, but honestly within 6 months you will start feeling better. Within a year you will look back and wonder how in the world did I survive feeling like that for what feels like a lifetime...

Around 40% of people have the genes to get celiac disease, but only around 1% actually get it. In any case, we could all go through life complaining about all sorts of different wrongs supposedly caused by our parents, however, it's probably a lot more healthy for everyone to try to deal with life in a more positive way and instead... -

Hi CathiJean, Wipe those tears my friend. Finding out that you have celiac just gave you the cheat code on how to start feeling better! It may feel like a loss right now, but honestly within 6 months you will start feeling better. Within a year you will look back and wonder how in the world did I survive feeling like that for what feels like a lifetime? You mentioned 15 years, that's about how long I have been really ill as well. I had told every doctor I saw that I kept getting sick, infections, hair loss, joint pain, etc. and nobody would listen to me until I turned 45. I went in for a colonoscopy and the doc says how often do you have bowel movements and I said usually between 10-15 times a...

If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.
