Just got my son's Enterolab Gluten Sensitive and Complete Gene Panel results - everything came back within normal ranges. The IgA was 6 out of 10, Fecal Fat was 89 out of 300, anti-casein was 5 out of 10. At the end of report it says he has two copies of a gene that predisposes to gluten sensitivity ("DQ1 or DQ3 not subtype 8"). It says having two copies means an even stronger predisposition to gluten sensitivity.

OK, what do I do now? Do the two genes mean that he should go gluten free? He still has many of the symptoms of Gluten Intolerance, along with his seizures.

Just hoping from some input from lots of you guys who have been through this before us!

Thanks so Much!

Elaine

basically, it means that he's got the hammer, nails, and wood, but no one to build the bookshelf. he *could* develop celiac disease, but nothing has triggered the active state of the disease. he does not need to be gluten free until the disease is triggered (his body is not producing antibodies, is not reacting to, gluten at this point). if he is experiencing any symptoms, you might want to try him on the diet to see if that aleviates the problem, however.

If he is having symptoms it certainly won't hurt to give the diet a try. If it helps you'll know and if it doesn't then you can have a wait and see attitude and reintroduce the diet later if needed. Make sure you become familiar with the non-GI aspects so that if he gets skin problems or depression, for example, in adolesence you will know to try the diet again.

If he's having seizures, I'd keep looking for what's wrong since the tests confirm it's not the gluten. I agree with what others are saying that you need to watch for signs since he's predisposed to gluten intolerance, but apparently that's not what's causing his symptoms now. I have two gluten intolerant genes, but my IgA was 60, and that was after two and a half months gluten free.

Just wanted to tell everyone thanks for answering my questions! We are still debating whether to start the diet or not, but I have my gluten-free shopping list all made up after reading the posts in the gluten-free Products/Foods area!

Thanks again,

Elaine

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.
