Hello Anand,

       Is there any explanation along with the test result?  You would need a double DQ2 or DQ8 for Celiac to be present on both sides of your family.  I was gene tested and have a double DQ2 gene but I was not too surprised.  Like your parents, both of my parents are highly symptomatic for Celiac. I am in the United States.

 

It looks like you have at least 1 gene but I am not sure, from these results, if it is a double. If there is only one gene, it came from one or the other side and usually, you can make a guess as to which one from symptoms. This test will back up your diagnosis but it does mean there will be others in your family who probably have it also.

Thanks Gemini, there is no explanation with the result... Just know I have this gene - HLADQB1*0201.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
