Gene Test Results

My Gene tests are below with my signature. Is there any experts out there who can give me further explanation of the number stuff and the subtypes? I understand I do not have Celiac, but gluten sensitivity and they said I have gluten sensitive genes from both parents and my children will have at least one. I have gluten ataxia and lower colon problems. I have read and re-read the gene info and I feel like I understand, but then I don't. Especially the subtype number thing. Thanks

You and I have the same genes. I had ataxia, vertigo, migraines and neuropathy. GI was minimal.....just going 6 times a day.

My ataxia is nearly gone, vertigo is getting there, but the migraines, neuropathy and frequent BM's are all gone. :)

I am not a gene expert, but our genes predispose us to gluten sensitivity, grass allergy and a few others.

One of our genes is protective of T1 Diabetes. Genes have good and bad points.

Cool! I take daily med. for the migraines. I don't dare to cut down and find out yet, but will in the near future hopefully. My vertigo is getting better. The numbness, tingling, twitching is gone some days and rearing its ugly head others. My bowels are up and down. You see I had severe constipation from gluten the last two years, after years of Dia. I still ache all over some days and my lower colon is bad right now. If it doesn't hurt, its spasming or ice cold, like a cold spot. I will be having a colonoscopy soon. I had an apt. on Dec. 8 with a new doc. that just got changed to Dec. 22, so now I have to wait again! My head is clearing, I talk better and the literal "Haze" visually is better.

I was reading on the Ataxia, kind of scary what it does the the base of the brain. No wonder I couldn't walk straight. That is getting better too. I was getting so discouraged, I really felt like I might be slowly dying there for awhile. I was giving up because I couldn't seem to get help from the medical community. No one around here seems to knows much about it.

I ate chocolate chips in gluten free cookies this week and I don't feel to well the last few days. I think it was the "soy licithin". I had read it was of "no consequence" to persons with soy allergy because of the way it is broken down. ( I've had that for 30 years) I know I have not eaten gluten. What do you think about the soy licithin? My usual gluten symptoms seem worse right now. Could soy do that?

I avoid soy. I make all my own food from scratch. I cannot eat chocolate at all. I get severe rebound depression. I have challenged it so many times and always regret it.

Any food can cause symptoms, you just have to eliminate/challenge to find out. It is no fun, but can be rewarding when you nail it down.

My genetic sister, you are on the right path. My migraines were the first to go and have not returned. :)

      Waiting Too Long to Brush Teeth after Gluten

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @StrongerThanCeliac, Not insane.  Misdirected, maybe. The digestive enzymes in saliva and the bacteria in the mouth probably digest all the gluten before then.   More likely, it takes that long for your histamine level to come down.  Histamine is released by mast cells as part of the reaction to gluten.  Vitamin C, B12, and Thiamine (Benfotiamine) are good antioxidants which can help lower the inflammation.   When I get glutened, I like having  hot tea with a couple of whole cloves in it.  Cloves contain Eugenol, an anti-inflammatory oil, that can calm the immune response.  You can chew up and swallow the cloves which will have some antibacterial action in your mouth, and be calming to the digestive tract.   Hope you feel better soon!

      Ground meat absolutely full of gluten?

      By glucel · Posted

      Flavorings usually identified but don't know if there are laws that govern that. I bot lamb shanks that had rosemary flavor but did not see anything else that might be a grain so I ate it. I eat tons ground beef usually organic and grass fed from aldi. Not identified as gluten-free but hopefully it is. On the other hand I would only eat hot dogs which has several ingredients if identified gluten-free.

      Absolutel liquor

      By Doug1229 · Posted

      All liquor that has been distilled are gluten-free because the liquor is captured from evaporation. Gluten is a heavy protein that will not evaporate make it safe for all celiac’s. cheers!

      Ground meats can contain flavorings and fillers. You must look for the gluten-free symbol on the packaging. I use Jennie-O brands which are marked gluten-free.

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I take Clonidine for blood pressure control.  It is the only one that did not debiltate me.  It also helps with my ADD.  Doctors always turned me down when I requested Ritalin (I am an adult) so it turned out for the best that I reacted badly to all the different BP meds they tried. Originally Clonidine was developed for ADHD adolescents that could not tolerate Ritalin.
