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."

      Yes, the development of additional food intolerances is a common spinoff of celiac disease. To ensure valid testing after beginning a "gluten challenge" you would need to be consuming at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Many cannot follow through with this regimen, however, as their intolerance...

      I've been gluten free for 5 years, as well as being intolerant to gluten, my list of intolerances is growing.. from dairy, eggs, soya, yeast, to mushroom, garlic, onion, spinach and quite a few in-between, basically my diet is gluten-free cornflakes, rice, banana, almond milk and fish anything else causes bloating, severe abdominal pain, mucousy diarrhoea...

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      I think going back to your GI isn't a bad idea - my visits to the GI did not stop following my diagnosis as I had annoying issues on and off for some time. Thankfully he is a fantastic GI, with a great sense of humour, so it wasn't a chore to see him again although I'd rather not have had to, obviously! But I needed my mind to be put at rest as my symptoms...

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      mystery gluten?

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...

      I've been gluten free for 5 years, as well as being intolerant to gluten, my list of intolerances is growing.. from dairy, eggs, soya, yeast, to mushroom, garlic, onion, spinach and quite a few in-between, basically my diet is gluten-free cornflakes, rice, banana, almond milk and fish anything else causes bloating, severe abdominal pain, mucousy diarrhoea, lethargy, muscle and joint pain, kidney pain, headaches, and mouth ulcers. I've been told it's IBS, I think it's more than that... I've been sent to a gastroenterologist who tested for coeliac, if course it came back negative because, as I told him, I haven't eaten gluten for 5 years, he's asked me to eat gluten for 4 weeks and redo the blood test, so I've tried small amounts of crispbread for 3 days and am in agony, I can't do this for 4 weeks and then however long it'll take to recover. Has anyone got any suggestions, and is multiple food intolerances a common side effect of coeliac? I'm struggling! And struggling to be taken seriously 😒

      I think going back to your GI isn't a bad idea - my visits to the GI did not stop following my diagnosis as I had annoying issues on and off for some time.  Thankfully he is a fantastic GI, with  a great sense of humour, so it wasn't a chore to see him again although I'd rather not have had to, obviously!  But I needed my mind to be put at rest as my symptoms didn't seem to go away overnight as I'd hoped they would.  Initially I recall he recommended I went Dairy Free for three weeks, and he told me it would take that time to see an effect.  At that time, even lactose free milk went straight through me, so it is important, I would say, to even avoid that during a Dairy Free trial. My ongoing symptoms were bloating which did respond a bit to that trial.   However, within about 18 months there was a return to a very sore stomach, plus various aches and pains.   It turned out some gluten was sneaking in with my iron supplement (I was buying Floradix instead of Floravital), but I also think the dishwasher, the oven and eating out were contributors, too. Before my numbers normalised (from memory, about eight years!) I had several follow up appointments and a few more tests, but things gradually did get better.  Having read many accounts on this forum over the years, I don't think it is uncommon for symptoms to get a bit worse before getting better, that was certainly the case with me.  Your gut is damaged so you may well have issues digesting other food in the short term. But do try to be as scrupulously gluten free as you can possibly be as a first step, and I'd definitely try a three week Dairy Free trial.   Your villi because they are damaged are not able to create the lactase required to digest dairy at this time so you may well see some improvement if you come off dairy for a while.  Perhaps keeping a food diary of what you eat, where you eat it, whilst a bit onerous to do, will help identify foods that are causing issues.  For a while, apart from oats, I found peas, lentils and soya products hugely aggravating.  Things should calm down.

Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:
