DQ2.2 Homozygous

Hi, 

 

can someone please help me to decipher my nutrahacker results? I have also done a Randox gene test which told me I have HLQ-DQA1*03. Does this and my nutrahacker results suggest I may have a disposition to celiac disease? I have my endoscopy next week to determine whether I actually have it.

I can't read the results that are cut off below the first table, but it looks like you are positive on the very top line of the first table, the DQ2.2, is that correct? 

I am no genetic expert on your exact risk, but the company who did this test should be able to give you that info. Have you contacted them about your results?

Hi, thank you for you reply. That’s what I thought. I will try contacting them but they don’t really offer a consultation service. I have my endoscopy Wednesday so might as well just wait for the results of that.

Sure, have you been eating ~2 slices worth of wheat bread or equivalent for the last couple of weeks? This is required before an endoscopy for celiac disease. Let us know how it goes!

I had my genetic testing done as well although the results were not quite as detailed as yours are. I did post them on this site but did not get any response. I have to assume that most do not have this testing done. Like you I was lost at what the results meant so I reached out to the online lab I used to get them done and the reply is that they are not medical doctors and cannot diagnose or interrupt the results. I did an exhausting online search and found genetic test results to be confusing. I pulled this from one of those searches...

To explain the genes that are associated with celiac disease, I've taking excerpts from About.com -

Jane Anderson's Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease: Celiac Disease Genetic Testing:

"The genes that predispose you to celiac disease are located on the HLA-class II complex of our DNA, and they're known as the DQ genes. Everyone has two copies of a DQ gene - one from their mother and one from their father. There are numerous types of DQ genes, but there are two that are involved in the vast majority of celiac disease cases: HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8".

HLA-DQ2

"People who have two copies of HLA-DQ2 (a very small percentage of the population) carry the highest overall risk for celiac disease. People who are HLA-DQ2 homozygous also have an increased risk for at least one type of refractory celiac disease (which occurs when the gluten-free diet doesn't seem to work to control the condition), and for enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, a type of cancer that's associated with celiac disease."

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
