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.

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.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much
