Do we have any data on factors that decide which person that carries celiac genes is at higher risk of developing celiac disease? Specifically I'm thinking of diet related factors. Nutrition, vitamins, microbiome, etc.?

The number of genes associated with celiac disease is more than two, but there are two main genes that are commonly tested for celiac disease susceptibility. These genes are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8.

  • HLA-DQ2: The majority of individuals with celiac disease (about 90-95%) carry the HLA-DQ2 gene.
  • HLA-DQ8: Around 5-10% of individuals with celiac disease have the HLA-DQ8 gene.
  • Other Genes: While HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 are the primary genes associated with celiac disease, having these genes doesn't guarantee that someone will develop celiac disease. Additionally, a small percentage of individuals with celiac disease don't have either of these genes. This suggests that other genetic factors may also play a role, though they are less common.

This article has more information about the genes associated with celiac disease:

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By SophiesMom · Posted

      I have been looking for new dishes. I was surprised to find dishes made of wheat straw. Are these safe for us? I'm very careful to avoid products that may contain gluten. I never thought I might have to check for wheat in dishes.

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By StevieP. · Posted

      Going on a cruise next week and I’m a celiac. Bought a bottle of GliandinX. Should I just take two tablets per day as a precaution? Never tried this before!! Any help is appreciated!!
