Help Reading Test Results

My sister was diagnosed with Celiac two weeks ago and I am in the process of being tested. I have had the celiac blood tests that came back negative but my sister's numbers were low and I have two little boys so her GI doctor suggested that we have the genetic done. I did have the tests done...and here are the results are as follows:

 

DQ Alpha 1  01, 02:01

DQ Beta 03, 05  serology Equivalence 9,5

 

I have no clue what any of this means...can anyone help me?

 

And it also says

 

Genetic Pairs Present- no

 

My guess is that its negative so I don't carry the genes. But I have tried to google this and I do NOT understand it at all...

 

Thanks in advance...and I love this site

This the full panel for Celiac:

 

Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA
Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG
Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA
Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA
Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and IgG
Total Serum IgA

 

I assume you were tested with the above.

 

 

Only 20% of people who carry the genes will carry on to develop Celiac. The other 80% , who carry the associated gene, will, never develop Celiac.

I Did Have Those And They Were Low So they Said Negative...I Am Wondering If These genetic Tests Say I Don't Have TheGenes

 your lab results are DQ 9 and DQ 5, since 03* or 02* 03* means DQ9 and 01* 05* means DQ5.

 

The labs are looking for the pairs: 05*02* and 03*0302

There is at least one DQ9  celiac here on this forum, as DQ9 is very close to DQ8, but the risk for celiac with DQ9 is less than with DQ8 or DQ2

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies.  It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.   Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis?  Was your tTg IgA level very high?  These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients.   Are you eating processed gluten free food stuffs?  Have you looked into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?

      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse.  Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain.  Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders? A cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12442269/   Nutritional Strategies for Chronic Craniofacial Pain and Temporomandibular Disorders: Current Clinical and Preclinical Insights https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11397166/   Serum nutrient deficiencies in the patient with complex temporomandibular joint problems https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2446412/

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms

      Cristiana makes a good point and it's something I've pointed out at different times on the forum. Not all of our ailments as those with celiac disease are necessarily tied to it. Sometimes we need to look outside the celiac box and remember we are mortal humans just like those without celiac disease.
