Hi all.

 

Just want to know if there are anyone who just diagnosed with HLA DQB1*0201, without DQA1*0501 and celiacs. 

 

Thanks.

Yes, you can have one copy of the DQ2 gene (referred to as heterozygous) and get Celiac disease.  That gene is not one where you have to have two copies for it to present itself, so having one means Celiac can be a possibility.  Of course, having the gene alone does not mean you have Celiac disease, you do need to get other testing done to see if Celiac disease is active.

Yes, there are people with this genetic type that have celiac disease.  Go to the main page of the forum and search "one copy of dq2" and there will be many threads to read through that may give you the information you need.

I read a lot but I have some questions:

 

My lab report only this: 

 

DQA1*0501: negative

DQB1*0201: positive

DQB1*0302: negative

 

Here I read in so many post speak about DQ1, DQ3, DQ4, DQ5, DQ6, etc. 

 

I think my lab tested only this 3 combination for research of celiacs predisposition (DQ2 / DQ8).

 

I'd like to go in another laboratory and done other more accurate analysis. 

 

Maybe I have other positive gene and I don't know.

 

I don't know what gene I should test, what do you think ?

      It's normal for the pee to turn yellow when taking large doses of B vitamins, particularly riboflavin (B2). That doesn't mean they are building up in the kidneys. It means the excess is being excreted. The B vitamins are water soluble.

      Because since the vitamins are not absorbed due to the inflammation shown by high levels of tTg IGA levels,it will just cause buildup or the kidney will get tired .I already take vitamins and I could see them in my pee the next 4 minutes I don't feel like vitamins are well absorbed I took vitamin b 12 , magnesium and other things and my test results are normal but still not high considering I have been taking them now for almost 3 years .i think there is no point in taking them now since there is a high inflammation I should wait more until maybe I could start to absorb something I already took IV infusion for iron because it by pass the gut due to the poor absorbtion already .

      Welcome to the forum, @Kimmy88! Most toothpastes are actually gluten-free. Most meds are gluten free. There are lists available for most prescription meds to determine if they contain gluten as an intentional ingredient. Google. Remember, "gluten free" does not mean "contains no gluten" it just means it contains less than a certain parts per million of gluten, in the USA that's < than 20 ppm for food items. For meds it may not be the same standard. And for generic meds, you would need to contact manufacturers. Pharmacies can give you contact info. Trace amounts from cross contamination may not be an issue unless you are in the subset of super sensitive celiacs.
