Genetics Testing Again

Renaye

Recommended Posts

After 3 years of being gluten-free, I convinced my new gastro do re-do the inconclusive genetics test. I have other issues such as possible Sjogrens and is seeing a rheumy for that. My insurance will not cover it but I would like to know, especially for my kids. I have less stomach pain but still am constipated to the point that I use Miralax daily. I have gained my weight back and am less fatigued but not sure if that is due to taking

Plaquenil or gluten-free diet.

Now I feel that maybe it is not worth it. If it is negative then I don't have it? Any thoughts? I am checking with my insurance before proceeding.

Thanks

If your bloodwork is positive, you can be fairly confident that you have celiac. Bloodwork is more accurate than a biopsy. A negative biopsy often means that they missed the damage.

You had positive blood work so you have celiac no matter what genes you carry. Gene testing is really a pretty new science and they are learning more every day. While most doctors only test for DQ2 or DQ8 it is possible to have firmly diagnosed celiac without either of those two genes. You could also have something else going on of course including possible other intolerances like dairy or soy. I get stomach pain and constipation from soy, for example.

I am DGP IgG and DPG IgA positive. All other tests are negative. Not sure how accurate those tests are.

My diet is clean of gluten, eggs, dairy and peanuts. The only thing that I eat that has soy in it is my mayo and not sure what to substitute for that. But I need mayo!!

Gastro suggested fiber along with Miralax. Took gluten free gummy chews last night that had 5 grams of fiber at bedtime. Hopefully this will move things along.

Those tests are very good and very specific to celiac. 

I hope the doctor's suggestion works. It is frustrating when we continue to have problems and I hope these clear up soon for you.

Hi everyone!

 

I have the same problem. I have a gluteen-free diet since two years, but the bloodwork doesn't identify my celiac disease. I'm allergic at flour mite, so I think that is the problem. What do you think about this? 

 

Sorry for my English, but I'm Italian and I'm just started a new metod for learning English better  ^_^

Welcome Ele!  Allergy to wheat is treated the same way as celiac, one does an elimination diet.  You can help lean about the diet and find people who can understand your struggles here.  You can improve your English as you read also!  I am also two years gluten free.

Thanks Blessedmommy! I use this product only it has a blue lid and contains soy. My grocery store does not offer the soy free one but I will look elsewhere for it.

Thanks again!

Hellman's/Best Foods makes a mayo with a yellow lid that is soy free. And it isn't something you have to go look for at a health food store or that costs 3 times as much as regular mayo.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free...

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
