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...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted...

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased int...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
