Genetic Test Please Help

Hi,

First I like to say that I tested tTG 14 with overwhelming evidance of gluten-free diet changes in feeling better but not totally better.( although I am now on my 4-5 week of the diet and I feel pretty lousy today, maybe a cold?).

Today I got the Genetic test so here it is:

HLA-DRB1 07(DR7)

HLA-DRB1 13(DR13)

HLA-DQB1 02(DQ2)

HLA-DQB1 06(DQ6)

The ( DQ2) seems to be indicative right. I did an Endoscopy before and they said it was normal , that was before they tested me for Celiac.

Can someone shed light on this please.

THNX

You have one copy of the DQ2 celiac gene (most common one) which is all it takes to have the tendency toward this disease. I don't know about the others, but only DQ4 is NOT associated with celiac and you do not have that as the other gene.

Thank you for your reply, I dont know why you mentioned the DQ-$ ? I read in Dr. Green's book that " DQ-2 and DQ-8 ) either one or both is enough to rule in Celiac. I read this article on the front page of Celiac dot com that this Dr./// he was saying that many Doctors order their labs from .... then he names all the labs and then he says that the results are not complete and then he ends the article with the fact that many Doc's do not know about the genetic part. i guess then that I am definatly positive Celiac? It has not sunk in :huh:

It seems like every time I talk to the Dr. I am confused because they strung me along : it is this, no that um it is IBS

and reflux.... so now I am thinking o.k are they going to change the diagnosis? or worse are they going to add to it , like Lymphoma?

With your genes, symptoms and positive response to the diet, if it were me, I would dx myself Celiac.

DQ2 is the main celiac gene, and DQ6is a gluten sensitive gene.

Over at the braintalk and neurotalk forums there are many with DQ6 and severe gluten sensitivity and neurological symptoms.

I have that too and I do not have DQ2.

For explanation about DR and DQ, see:

and this old one: Open Original Shared Link

Here they found two DQ6 celiacs:

They did not test your alpha chains, just the beta chains DQB1**, which lab did the tests?

My doctor was willing to diagnose me based on the fact that I am DQ2 positive and my symptoms resolved with a gluten free diet. My bloodwork was negative, and I didn't have an EGD. 4-5 weeks on the diet is enough to feel relief, but it's not long enough to reverse everything. If you continue to feel better, then the chances of Celiac for you are high. I am 6.5 months in, and it's been within the last month that I can actually say I feel good. I'm still not totally back to normal.

And a biopsy is not always accurate either. You have 22 ft of sm intestine, and Celiac can be patchy. Your damage could've taken place in a place they didn't biopsy.

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.

      By cookiesyum · Posted

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.
