Dq Genetic Test

Hi,

 

I've recently receive my genetic test to determine if i'm a celiac. I don't have any symptoms and the EMA IgA test was negative. I' ve 2 brothers and my mother who are celiacs.

 

I've read in this forum that 90% of the celiacs has the DQ2 and having de DQ7 is also a risk. But, if you don't have any symptoms and you have the genetics results that are below, did you have any chance of not being celiac?

 

I didn't try to translate these results, because I don't want to modify their meaning.

 

BIOLOGIA MOLECULAR   Material Examiando: Sangre entera     Método: PCR Primers Específicos       (SSP - PCR - Low Resolution)       Tecnologia Utilizada:Termociclador Apollo ATC 401       Valor Hallado:       Locus DQB1: 02     Locus DQB1: 03     Correspondencia por serologia: DQ2,DQ7
 

 

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

 

Gonzalo.

You can have the genetics without the symptoms or noticeable damage,  .  A trigger even often comes before symptoms are apparent. Some people chose to eat gluten free when they discover they have the genes and some wait for symptoms to appear first.  You can decide what is right for you.  Please do watch for any of the 300 symptoms if you chose to eat gluten.

Agreed.

 

You are a classic non-symptomatic Celiac.

 

Your stomach will degrade without you knowing it...you will get less and less nutrients from your food.  You are eating a poisonous protein called gluten...you cannot escape damage if you continue to consume it.  The protein acts like an acid, burning your villi off.  The food slides by, and you get next to nothing from it.

 

One bad thing happens...one bad day...overwhelming stress...an auto accident, and your body changes completely?  You become old overnight.  You lose your career, and then your spouse, and then nearly the house you worked so hard for?  Is that what you want?

 

And then you get to feel gradually worse until you wake up and say..."Why did I eat all that junk?  Why did I waste so many years?  Why did the doctors not find out sooner...

 

Oh, I forgot...this is you, not me.  I had symptoms and no diagnosis.  You have a diagnosis, and no symptoms.

 

You're fine.  Have some cake, and eat it too.

 

 

But remember that every microgram of gluten is burning your small intestines away, and eventually your currently un-symtomatic body will crash on you.  It is very unpleasant, and no, you cannot escape chemistry and biology.  You will not be lucky...you have already won the Celiac Gene lottery.

 

I am sorry that anyone has this genetic tendency, and I pity you sincerely...no symptoms, and the damage being done anyway.

 

1/24 of a teaspoon of wheat is enough each day to damage you...burn away your intestinal lining...one bite from a sandwich made with that wonderful wheat stuff that tastes really good, and is everywhere, and though you do not feel it yet is making little holes in your stomach. upper intestines.

 

It is very hard to be wise, and act in courage when nothing seems to be wrong.

 

Be courageous anyway.

A gene test is not going to tell you if you have Celiac and Having other family members with Celiac does not mean you will get it.  It's about your chances of developing Celiac.  I would not recommend "assuming" that you have Celiac Disease.  There is a testing protocol that will give you answers.  Celiac testing is more than one blood test.  It is an entire panel of tests in addition to a endoscopy procedure. If you carry a gene for Celiac then you have a 30% greater risk than the general population but in no way means that you will get it.  The two Medically accepted Celiac genes are DQ2 and DQ8 although there is much discussion about additional genes.

I am not sure what post you are responding to. This poster isn't diagnosed. Having a Celiac gene does not mean you have celiac. About 30% of the population has a Celiac gene, yet only about 1% of the population has Celiac.

Celiac does not " degrade" the stomach. celiac is a disease of the small intestine.

My apologies, KarenG.

 

I responded to what I saw in the post...I must have been very tired.  I have corrected the word stomach to upper intestines as per your correction. 

 

Thank you for your corrections.

The poster has no symptoms and negative tests.  One gene does not mean you have Celiac disease. 

 

The proteins we call gluten do  not "burn" your stomach or intestines.  They cause your body to produce antibodies that attack the small intestine.

 

I am going to recommend you read some reliable info about Celiac disease before posting again.  Unless you have some new research to share about this?  

 

This is a good place to start:

You can have a Celiac gene.  It does not mean you have Celiac at this time.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Sigh. I posted this yesterday based on the Safeway website. I went back again today to their website to double check. On the page where they are selling Vanilla Bean flavor, it has a distinct Certified Gluten Free label. Other flavors on the Safeway website didn't have the gluten-free statement. Today I went into the store. None of the flavors I looked at, including Vanilla Bean, have a Gluten Free statement. Is it safe? Who knows. The ingredients are either safe or nearly safe (some have "natural flavor"). There are warnings about "contains milk and soy" but not about wheat - this implies they are safe, but again, who knows. On the other hand, every flavor I checked of their Slow Churn line of ice creams has wheat as an ingredient. 100% not safe.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Do keep in mind that many of the newly diagnosed have lactose intolerance.  This is because the villi lining the intestinal tract are damaged, and can no longer make the enzyme lactAse which breaks down the milk sugar lactOse.  When the villi grow back (six months to two years), they can again produce the enzyme lactAse, and lactose intolerance is resolved.  However, some people (both those with and without Celiac Disease) are genetically programmed to stop producing lactase as they age.   Do be aware that many processed foods, including ice cream, use Microbial Transglutaminase, a food additive commonly called "meat glue," used to enhance texture and flavor.  This microbial transglutaminase has the same immunogenicity as tissue transglutaminase which the body produces in response to gluten in people with Celiac Disease.  Tissue Transglutaminase (tTg IgA) is measured to diagnose Celiac Disease in blood tests.  Microbial Transglutaminase acts the same as Tissue Transglutaminase, causing increased intestinal permeability and inflammation.   New findings show that microbial transglutaminase may be able to trigger Celiac Disease and other autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.   Microbial Transglutaminase is not required to be listed on ingredients labels as it's considered a processing aid, not an ingredient in the U.S.  Microbial Transglutaminase has been GRAS for many years, but that GRAS standing is being questioned more and more as the immunogenicity of microbial transglutaminase is being discovered. Interesting Reading:  Microbial Transglutaminase Is a Very Frequently Used Food Additive and Is a Potential Inducer of Autoimmune/Neurodegenerative Diseases https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8537092/

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/
