Test Results

My antibodies were negative (not suprising since I'm gluten free)

My genotyping was apparently positive

HLA DR/DQ Genotyping for coeliac disease

HLA-DR 3, 15

DRB1 03, 15

HLA-DQ 2, 6

HLA-DQA1 01, 05

HLA-DQB1 02, 06

CONCLUSSION

GENOTYPE SUSCEPTABLE FOR COELIAC DISEASE DETECTED.

Heterozygous for the DRB1*03-DQA1*05-DQB1*02 haplotype, which is consitent with the DQ2 phenotype.

Does anyone know what this means?

I'm going to see the allergy dietition in a few weeks, she said she won't subject me to a gluten challenge for biopsy etc (finally someone who's making some sense) she's seen the effect eating gluten has on someone who shouldn't eat it (she's part of the allergy clinic in one of the largest hospitals in the country). She's going to draw up a diet for me on the presumtion I have coeliac (since I'm already living that way anyhow) and the doc is prepared to put that diagnosis on my medical history. I just have dairy and amines tollerance testing and food diary to be sure I'm getting enough nutrition, only another 3-6 months to go. Ah finally getting somewhere :s.

hi,

you have the main celiac gene that most tested celiacs have. The short name is DQ2(also known as DQ2.5).

Heterozygous for the DRB1*03-DQA1*05-DQB1*02 haplotype, which is consitent with the DQ2 phenotype.

DRB1*03-DQA1*05-DQB1*02 haplotype- That is the gene.

The heterozygous means you have one copy of the gene, not two. You only need one copy.

      Confused with test results

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      There is plenty of gluten food that is unplatable also. The trouble in restaurants is that wheat,  like the Frank's Hot Sauce commercial; "They throw that bleep on everything." In my opinion, the underlying problem is compromised immune system due to vitamin D deficiency and Green Revolution modern wheat.  50% of the industrialized world are vitamin D deficient and we are urged to avoid sun and limit oral vitamin D intake to the minimum.   Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity became an official diagnosis only 10 years after modern wheat was marketed.

      Does Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism elevate Ttg levels ? I have had 3 blood test results where ttg levels are around 39-43 (range 0-19). The first test was in 2021 before I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease. I had an endos

      I understand from one of our forum moderators who is UK-based that the benefits of having an official celiac diagnosis varies depending on your postal code. So then, it must be a benefit tied to local government rather than national government.

      I think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).  think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).

      Obviously, you have looked at all this from various angles and I respect that. But consider this, you could trial the gluten-free diet for six months to see if it results in lower ttg-iga scores. If so, it is another piece of evidence pointing to celiac disease. You could then go off the gluten fast and return to a gluten loaded diet for weeks or months and repeat the colonoscopy/endoscopy. My point is that trialing a gluten-free diet does not eliminate the possibility of getting valid celiac retesting at a late date if you are willing to engage with the gluten challenge.
