HLA DQ 8 negative

HLA allelic variants associated w. Celiac disease detected. DQ2 hererodimer (HLA DQA1*0201/DQB1*02)

HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, whether or not it's "positive" or "negative" are the two genes associated with Celiac Disease. HLA-DQ2 is the most common; something like 91% of the people with Celiac Disease have this one. Another 7% have HLA-DQ8, and the remaining 1% have neither. Having these genes does not mean you will definitely get Celiac Disease; over 30% of the population have one of these genes but only 1% gets the disease. However, if there seem to be symptoms associated with gluten, and these symptoms go away when gluten is completely removed, and with the genes your children have, it would mean they almost certainly have Celiac Disease even if the IGA and IGG serological blood tests come back negative and a biopsy is inconclusive.

What is interesting to note, though, is that since both children have two Celiac genes, that means both you and your husband have the genes for Celiac Disease and are therefore susceptible yourselves.

Did they also have bloodwork, or just the genes. If so what did the bloodwork say.

No, they did only test for the Genes, the Gastroenterologist was smiling aobut me not really thinking that something would come up!

I'l planning on getting a stooltest from enterolab, which one should I take- the genes are obviously there! I can't afford to buy both at the same time so whichone would you guys recommend?

Gluten Sensitivity Stool Test Fecal Antigliadin IgA antibody

Tissue Transglutaminase Stool Test Fecal Anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibody

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      Using a pressure cooker will break down Lectins. Long cooking times as in using a crock pot will also reduce Lectin content. However, having tried both, going lectin free for a few weeks is like a vacation for my digestive system. I do hope you give the AIP diet a try. I understand that changing ones diet takes a lot of mental readjustment...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      Depending on which source you research sprouting or fermentation can reduce lectins. I sprout rice, buckwheat and quinoa. However, I admit that gas and intestinal inflammation still plague me after 5 1/2 mo gluten-free. I have been resisting but I may try the aip diet at some point.

      Lymph nodes in neck + thyroid issues

      By Blue Roan · Posted

      @RMJ@Scott Adams@knitty kitty, Thank you for all of your responses, tips, and suggestions. I'm very grateful that this website exists. It makes me feel a lot less alone in my celiac journey!  The endocrinologist had me do a neck ultrasound just to be safe. Thankfully, thyroid and lymph nodes came back normal. knitty kitty, my Vitamin D is on the higher end of normal, but I will definitely consider the dentist route next time I have my checkup if I'm still noticing issues. Thank you! Scott, thanks for suggesting the ENT. I may consider seeing one if things don't resolve on their own. I am thankfully feeling a bit better now, so hopefully, this is just some sort of residual celiac inflammation like you mentioned, Scott. After all of the numerous tests and clinical visits I've had all year, I'm going to give my body (and wallet) a break for a few months to rest and heal without the stress of doctor appts/labwork and whatnot. Perhaps the health anxiety is also contributing to some of my symptoms.  Thank you once again for sharing your stories.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @jadeceoliacuk I am a UK based coeliac and I have used a private nutritionist a few times. She is very highly qualified and having just googled her details, she is listed on this website (see link).  For that reason, I think you could trust the listings here as I am quite sure she would not want to associate with this website unless it was a professional, trustworthy resource. https://www.nutritionist-resource.org.uk/ I hope this helps.
