Gene Test Or Antibody Test?

I'm diagnosed with celiac disease for 1 month with positive bloodwork and biopsy. I had not gastro symptoms. I was anemic and had osteoporosis and the doctor tested me because of that. When I asked my doctor about having my 23 year old son and 21 year old twins tested she didn't seem too concerned, but after pushing her on it she said OK. She only wants do the antibody test. Shouldn't she also test for the gene? From what I've read, if they don't have the gene, they won't have to worry about celiac disease for the rest of their lives. They have no symptoms at this time. If the antibody tests come back negative, then we still won't be sure if they are carriers. I just feel if they carrying the gene then they can be vigilant in watching for symptoms. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help.

I am negative for DQ2 or DQ8 but still very gluten sensitive. There are several like that here on the forums.

Just do a search on Dr. Hasjivassiliou and he sais that about 20% of the gluten ataxia patients are DQ1.

The thing is, the other genes like DQ1, DQ7 and DQ9 can be celiac too, but the incidence is about one tenth of the incidence in DQ2 or 8.

(found in an article about DQ7 and celiac)

      Chicken Thighs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is a link to the skin version, and the only ingredients are "chicken": https://www.perduefarms.com/en-US/perdue-bone-in-chicken-thighs-pack/60625.html There should also be ingredients and any allergens listed there on the package.

      Chicken Thighs

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @BeeBarnard! I really can't imagine how either skin or skinless chicken thighs could not be gluten free unless one or the other were treated with some seasoning ingredient that was not gluten free. Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the amount of gluten cross contamination found in seasonings is usually inconsequential.

      Chicken Thighs

      By BeeBarnard · Posted

      HI, My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I would like to make her some chicken soup (she's got he flu). I found all gluten free ingredients but I'm having trouble with the chicken. I purchased Purdue bone-in chicken thighs from BJ's Wholesale Club. Purdue says that they are gluten free but the BJ's website says no. It seems like skin-on chicken is not, but skinless is. Does this seem accurate? Thank you

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

They had other appies to choose from so all's well that ends well. The Costco scallops are excellent but 4 x the price. Thanks!
