Understanding DQ2 markers and advice needed on if I should test for and if I've been eating gluten long enough again.

Nutrahacker just emailed me my HLA Haplotypes

DQ2.2 (rs2395182) Homozygous
DQ2.2 (rs7775528) Heterozygous
DQ2.5 (rs2187668) Heterozygous

Under NutraHacker original research it lists me in the highest risk group. DQ2 homozyhous with 5.5 prevalence and 28.3 percent with anti-gluten antibodies.

I've always been curious if I was gluten intolerant or celiac, and I tested once but I had been low-carb/gluten free for a while. I'd watched fathead and read Gary Taubes and think low-carb, gluten avoidance is a healthy approach. So two years ago it showed negative. I am considering retesting, I have not been eating low carb or gluten free most of last year through this year. I started eating low carb again on Feb 21, but stopped again on March 26th. So my question is, was my low carb/mostly gluten free period short enough, and that I've been eating gluten again long enough that I can get tested again or do I need a longer gluten challenge to make up for that month?

I also have oral lichen planus and there seems to be some research that there is a correlation between celiac and lichen planus. Appreciate any thoughts you have.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
