Hello fairly new to the sight, and still working on diagnosis.I did a genetics testing results were:

DQA1 0501 (HLA-DQ2) Positive

DQB1 0609 (HLA-DQ1) Positive

DBQ1 0201 (HLA-DQ2) Positive

Can someone help me with interpreting these results? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you..

Seems to me like you have a double copy of the DQ2 gene. I am not sure what the other one is. However, the main ones seen with Celiac are HLA DQ2 and DQ8.

the DQ 1 appears to be tied to the neuro issues....

Thank you, Ive done a lot of reading to understand what these results mean..Its been a long road to get to this point..Ive had no official diagnosis so Its been hard to stay on the diet..My GI doc. said he thought it might be gluten sensitivity after all my test came back negative and said I had IBS and stress. After trying different IBS meds and still not feeling well I decided to get the genetics test done.Ive been dealing with a lot of symptoms now for about 9 yrs..UGH..

I have 2 sons who are adults now but also have a lot of GI issues along with Dairy allergys.

Its just so mind boggleing!..

My husband had the genetics test also and he had 3 copies of DQ 8 which put him at 2x moderate risk for celiac but he also tested positive on two serological tests. I am not really sure if they are all the same  but here is the reference that was on his test results. I believe that the first number is the number of copies of the gene. I hope this helps a bit :)

 

8 DQ2 Homozygous 31X EXTREMELY HIGH
7 DQ2/ot her high risk gene 16X VERY HIGH
6 DQ2/DQ8 14X VERY HIGH
5 DQ8 Homozygous 10X HIGH
4 DQ2 heterozygous 10X HIGH
3 DQ8 heterozygous 2X MODERATE
2 DQ2/other low risk gene <1X LOW
1 DQ2 -, DQ8- <0.1X EXTREMELY LOW

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
