Did the GI order this genetic test?  

Yes

The odds are that you do not have celiac disease.  You could be one of the rare cases of alternative genes (less than three percent), like Raven.    Your DGP IGA was elevated.  Did he do a repeat celiac panel?  You could have Crohn's.  I thought for sure my niece had celiac disease.  She went to four GI over a three year period.  She did not have the predominant genes, negative celiac disease panel.  A pill camera caught her Crohn's located beyond the reach of both scopes.  

Keep adovcating!

Yeah, it would be pretty rare. No, he did not do a repeat celiac panel. He did do some tests for inflammation markers and they came back negative. Will see what the colonoscopy and endoscopy says. I see allergy testing in my future, however.  Does anyone know what the HLA markers under the 2 celiacs negative ones mean? Does that mean I'm carrying those or is it just lab coding?

Since I never had a genetic test, I have not really researched it.  I think it they are sub-variants. Definitely not lab coding.

Yeah they look like sub variants  to me as well , but im not sure either.

I went and spoke to a geneticist I know from work... im homozygous for the one its found in people who have narcolepsy.  I've inherited the gene marker from both parents= homozygous.  The DQ1 I believe it was is the location on the genes. Its also present in persons with MS, diabetes type1, and another type of auto immune disease.  I'm pretty sure I've not got narcolepsy but good to know. I've seen some stuff about that gene and NCGS. Wondering why that marker was even looked for? Going to assume if they see any of those that they notify...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
