No Genetic History - Original Mutation?

My 2.5 year old was diagnosed this past summer with celiac.  I've always had major stomach issues, so I immediately got the full blood panel which shockingly to me, came back negative.  I don't have active celiac, nor the gene for it.  My husband just got his panel back and like me, is completely negative.
I'm surprised by these results as I know celiac is mostly genetic.  My poor son's luck that he is the original mutation...

Anyone else have this in their family?

Did you get the specific genetic tests done?  The Celiac panel usually doesn't contain that.

Yes, they did the full genetic test on both of us.

Perhaps he was incorrectly diagnosed?  Does he have a gene? I have never heard of a genetic mutation for this.  It might not be possible....

Was it verified that the son has a known gene for Celiac disease?

Is your son improving on the diet? Did they test your total IGA? If you have your results posting them here could be helpful  Have you tried the diet yourself strictly? If you haven't given the diet a trial you should. There are rare celiacs that don't have either of the two most common celiac associated genes. There are non celiac gluten intolerant folks who have to be just as strict with the diet as blood and biopsy diagnosed celiacs.

Is it possible to get celiac via a recessive gene?

A genetic test wouldn't matter if its recessive or not- it finds what genes you have . I Have never heard that there are any recessive

Celiac genes?

Just curious because my husband and I both have brown eyes and ended up with a blue eyed child. I wondered if celiac worked the same way.

Trying to I post on phone -

For example - I think CF is caused by a recessive gene if I remember right? So having 1 gene for CF and the other corresponding gene for healthy - no CF. Both parents give the child a gene for CF - the kid has CF.

Celiac genes work differently. You have 1 or more and they sit quietly and do nothing in 29% of people. In that lucky 1%, something turns 1 or more on and the Celiac fun begins.

Simple genetic explanation from a phone. Lol

. But if they looked at your eye color genes- they would see that each of you had a brown and a blue gene. They could match up with 1 from each of you. The genetics of eye color is actually more complex than that, but that's the simple explanation.

I wanted to update everyone that I had my son's gastro look at my lab results and I do carry a gene.  She explained that the way the labs report things makes it very confusing for people to read, including doctors that aren't gastros.  In this case, my primary care didn't read the report as well as a gastro did and said I was negative.  If anyone else is in this situation I would recommend having a gastro read your report, not a primary care, or some other doctor.

Wow! I am glad you found some answers! I totally agree with you on seeing a GI for any of these issues-- I just took my daughter to the GI yesterday and realized that the pediatrician has been very misinformed--as a result, I was misinformed too. I wish I took her to a GI a long time ago!

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
