What Does This Mean?

Had the Celiac Blood Test. My DNA results were:

 

DQ2: DQA1*05:01/05:05- Positive, two copies and DBB1*02:01/02:02- Positive, two copies.

 

What does this mean? It does say that I am at elevated risk (1:10). I have to wait several weeks before I can see the Celiac specialist but I would like to know if I should go on a gluten-free diet because of this elevated risk. Does my result mean that I am DQ2.5 Homozygous?

What are the results of the Celiac antibody blood tests?  Just having the genes only means that you could have it.  About 30% of people have a gene or two for Celiac.  But only about 1% actually have Celiac.

Keep eating gluten! All celiac tests except the non-diagnostic gene test (when standing alone) require you to be on a full gluten diet or the results could be negative!

      Found coffee or coffee pods that contain gluten

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      Juice shots? Anti inflammatory

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.
