Help with genetic test results

I just got my genetic test results back and I would love it if someone could help explain them to me.  My two little girls were both diagnosed with Celiac Disease through biopsy two years ago.  I have been gluten free since they were diagnosed.  I've been having some stomach issues lately, so my doctor ordered a bunch of tests, one of which was celiac genetic test.  Here are the results

F HLA DQ2 Positive   AMD
F HLA DQ8 Negative   AMD
F HLA VARIANTS DETECTED: HLA DQA1* 01   AMD
F HLA DQA1* 05   AMD
F HLA DQB1* 0201   AMD
F HLA DQB1* 0501   AMD
F

You're positive on the DQ2 which is one of the celiac genes. It only takes one of them so you have the genetics.

the "a" and the "b", refer to alpha and beta.  the results are enumerating the different alleles.  all you needed was the top two lines.  BUT, if you have been gluten free, totally, then you should not be symptomatic of celiac.

      Thank you both. I haven't had access to the test results but will get them and post here.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
