Need Help-daughter's Results In

Got my daughter's results in-she didn't get my DQ8(201) or my husbands DQ2(302)....

She's double DQ7(302). I was well prepared for explaining DQ2/DQ8 but not this.

What I can find about it, beyond "gluten sensitive" is that it's dark grey in a medium grey area. Some are saying that it may be a third celiac gene.

So, I'm looking for anyone with this genotype to chime in, especially symptoms they experienced, especially pain and neurological. This is a big life style change for her and she needs to recognize herself. This is a mother begging. Please help me help her.

Sorry, that's DQ2(201) and DQ8(302).

And DQ7(301). Can you tell I'm really upset?

I'm sorry to say it really is a grey zone and there are at this point no definite answers. I am DQ6 and DQ7, negative tTG with high positives on my antigliadin tests. I've been told that I probably shouldn't eat gluten if I feel better when I don't, but that eating gluten won't kill me. Without the genetic markers for celiac disease I do not need to worry about things like lymphoma.

What I think is going on is an antigliadin response but not an autoimmune response and that is an important distinction.

This should be considered good news, though I can understand your dismay over a vague diagnosis.

I've got 1 of those 0301's. I read somewhere that it's very similar to DQ8. I think I would probably email Dr Fine and ask what he think the significance of a double 0301 is.

Best wishes,

Matilda

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
