Hla Dq2 And Hla Dq8 Test

Good evening,

I'm Maurizio and I'm Italian.

At the moment I'm in England for study English.

Anyway, for 3 years I have had the typical symptoms of coeliac disease but my blood test was negative (I did the test in 2011) and also endoscopy was negative (2011)..

A few days ago I read some articles about HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8 test.

Now I want to do these test but I don't know if is it possible in UK..is it?

Or, are there other possibilities? Do you know laboratories which I can do these exams (in USA are quickly?)?

 

Thanks for your answer..

There is an online lab, not sure if they ship to UK or not. They test the stool it's called enterolab

Hi Ol_Mauri, I'm in the uk and my gp arranged the general coeliac blood tests for me which tested positive. They then refe red me to a specialist at the hospital to arrange the biopsy but me being me I couldnt tolerate the procedure so they arranged hla typing tests as an extra confirmation that I had the disease.

You need to contact your normal gp first and ask to be referred to a specialist (I doubt your gp will do this test).

Bear in mind that I doubt they will diagnose you purely on positive hla typing results but it will rule you in or out of the possibility of you getting celiac disease.

Do they not automatically test children in Italy they for celiac by the age of 6 years old?

Good luck, helen

Just to add...as far as I'm aware, just because you might test negative on all celiac tests, it doesnt mean you arent classed as 'non celiac gluten sensitivity' so after all testing, maybe you could try eliminating gluten and see how you feel.

Thank you very much..

In Italy the situation is very complicated and doctors haven't a good knowledge to gluten sensivity..

Anyway, next week I'm going to my GP for ask..do you know how long do you usually wait for the results of the test? (hla)

And also, how much does it cost?

 

Thank you very much

Well on the nhs, its free and they had to send tests to london for results which took a couple of weeks.

I really don't know how successful you will be in trying to convince gp/hospital to test you for hla typing. I was lucky and had a particularly good specialist who was trying to support me.

If your gp isnt helpful, you could always ask if they can recommend a private practice who can do the tests, but obviously you'd have to pay for testing.

Good luck

This links states that hla typing is not routinely used, so you may struggle to get tested thru the nhs (I think due to cost to the nhs and because on its own, it doesnt give a definitive diagnosis) but it won't hurt for you to ask.

Well its important that you keep going to your doctor and explaining your symptoms and you don't give in until they do more tests and you get some answers.

Theres lots of knowledgeable people on here, so maybe you could start a new thread about any of your symptoms/concerns. All the best.

I'm having my son tested at 6 month of age, he's only 2 month old now but he's been booked in for the test since before he was born :). It's the smart thing to do. Every child should have it done.

You can do a Open Original Shared Link genetic test for $99, although the shipping to the UK might make it quite a bit more expensive than that. It takes some detective work, but you can figure out your HLA-DQ2/8 status using the 23andme results.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
