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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
