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 ?

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
