My thoughts, as a non-medical celiac person who has the genes, is talk to your doctor... And don't do anything right now based only on the genetic test. People can have the genetic markers and not develop the disease or symptoms until they are middle aged or more. The genetic test, as I understand it, tells us who might develop celiac not who definitely will.

Do you suspect that your child has celiac disease?   My understanding is that those without the celiac gene can not develop celiac disease.   Those with the celiac gene can develop celiac disease, but most still will not.

So, generally, the genetic test can rule out, but does not confirm celiac.   If you think you child has celiac, then you might want to talk to your doctor to schedule an endoscopy.

There is no such thing as a "gluten sensitive" gene. DQ2 is one of the celiac genes. As others stated, the gene test is more to rule out celiac but does NOT mean the person has celiac or will later present with celiac. About 1/3 of the population has the celiac gene(s) but they will not all develop celiac.

Having said that, it's not the norm but there are other genes associated with celiac - not common at all but it does happen.

thanks for the reply, Yes,I suspect my child either has gluten sensitive or celiac,but her blood test back negative, so I order stool test for her from enterolab, her test back giadin IGA and ttg Positive,so does it mean she has celiac or non celiac gluten sensitive?

With the results of the tests you have provided, the next step is a GI consult.  Verification of intestinal damage can only be obtained from biopsies via endoscopy per the majority of the world's leading celiac medical experts.   Once celiac disease is ruled out, then possibly a non-celiac gluten intolerance can be made.   Your daughter has had Lyme Disease (if I recall).  That adds a special set of complexities to the issue and one that is definitely beyond my knowledge (and most of our members).

I doubt you will find a GI doc or any other doc who will put any credence in the Enterolab results. See:

thanks,I did consult GI doctor but since her blood test were negative,so the GI doctor don't care what her lab test are which I order myself...and regarding the endoscope,she has been gluten free for 1 month,so for sure the test will be back inclusive...

but she did improve a lot without gluten on her diet,so I'm very sure she has gluten sensitive but just don't know if its celiac or not for now.

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
