Enterolab Gene Test Results

I did the enterolab cheek swab and this is what came up:

 

Gluten Sensitivity Gene Test
HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1      0604   

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2      0402   

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ   1,4  (Subtype 6,4)


 

TEST INTERPRETATION(S):

Interpretation of HLA-DQ Testing:  Although you do not possess one of the HLA-DQB1 genes predisposing to celiac disease (HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8), HLA gene analysis reveals that you have one copy of a gene that predisposes to gluten sensitivity, in your case HLA-DQB1*0604. Having one of these genes means that each of your offspring has a 50% chance of receiving this gene from you, and at least one of your parents passed it to you. This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by the American Red Cross - Northeast Division. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

 

 

 

So does this mean i definitely don't have celiac and it's just gluten sensitive? I dunno if you need to have a gene to have celiac itself do you? Doesn't matter but it's got me wondering..if I don't have celiac does that mean no leaky gut etc? Anyone here well versed in this stuff?

there is new research suggesting that there may be other genes that can be seen with celiac.

Oh  my.....so much to be learned right? Do you know anything about what these genes in particular would mean? I'm just wondering if leaky gut was actually an issue with me or not.

I don't think any genes have been identified for non celiac gluten sensitivity.

I think you have said you were diagnosed with Celiac disease? What does that doctor say about this?

My doctor for one reason or another considers it to be celiac disease. I only had enterolab done before and had elevated results. I was having a lot of refluxy problems around that time and i've developed other problems that started within a couple months of going gluten free. On top of this it seems gluten affects my thyroid. I honestly dunno what it is but...that's all my doctor did...read the results from enterolab and considered it as such. I honestly can deal with gluten but i've had plenty of other problems that have popped up since that have made my life a living hell. Currently waiting on 23andme genetic testing for MTHFR for detox issues as i seem to have salicylate issues and that's a detox issue as well. I've heard a lot of people saying healing the gut is so important for that problem too but I guess I'm curious if I have leaky gut or not. Can you have leaky gut with gluten sensitivity? Either way. I've got the links you have me opened but I have to run again for now. Will take a look when I get home later. Thanks!

There are no genetic tests or blood tests of any kind for "gluten sensitivity". despite what some labs will tell you.

 

The leading celiac specialists will tell you that.

 

The main celiac genes associated with celiac are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8--as of now. (those are the ones they are sure of)

 

The research suggest a DQ9 may be associated.

 

I hate to burst your bubble, but everyone who gets a test from enterolab has a "gluten sensitivity gene" according to the reports I have seem

on here, yet there is no scientific or medical data that proves there even is such a thing. 

 

I know you really wish to have evidence that you have celiac, but the truth is, genetic testing isn't proof anyway.

 

The genes associated with celiac merely suggest a link, not a "proof-positive" and some people with the gene never develop it at all

and genetic tests are only used as an exclusionary diagnosis.

 

"Up to one third of the U.S. population has the genes for celiac disease, but it
is thought that only 1-4% of them will actually develop the disease at some point
in their lifetimes. This means that people with DQ2 or DQ8 can develop celiac
disease, but the vast majority of them will not."

Yeah I know I just thought if I had a gene for it it might seem like it more so. I don't really want celiac...i know i have gluten sensitivity but...i guess i'm trying to figure out the underlying cause of the other issues which many say is caused by leaky gut....so I'm on the prowl for causes.

Seraphim, I did 23andme testing and got my results last month. I found that I had to do a LOT of digging to get the info I wanted. For celiac HLA genes, 23andme only reports DQ2.5 status, but using info on individual SNPs you can find out a lot more. I highly recommend SNPedia.com for all kinds of stuff, and geneticgenie.org for MTHFR info. Good luck - it's a steep learning curve!

Thanks so much! I'm in a rather rotten spot since christmas and trying to map out my health issues to try and heal as best I can. It's not all gluten....I'm to the point of actually HOPING i have the MTHFR gene defect as it will give me some hope that I just have some detox issues that can be at least SOMEWHAT helped through proper care. Who wishes for that kind of thing to be wrong? heh. Apparently me. At least it's an answer you know?

I completely understand hoping for "bad" results. I'm currently waiting on 23andme results for my teenage daughter and am sort of hoping something will turn up. At least if you know what is wrong, you can take steps to address it.

Exactly...right now it looks like i can't detox high salicylates. I seem to be ok with moderate and a couple high foods. Apparently this can be a detox issue typically. I am generally always tired and have had depression issues and weakness over the years and i know that can be tied into b12 problems so we shall see!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
