Enterolab Results

Hi, I'm so excited, after a full year and some of problems with doctors, testing etc, I finally have my enterolab results and can say that all my symptoms haven't been only in my head!

Is anyone an expert on the enterolab testing and what the genetic results may mean. I've read all the information and am still a bit confused as to what I exactly have ie. gluten sensitivity and one celiac gene. Anyone willing to help me interpret?

This is it in a nutshell...

fecal antigliadin igA - 40 (normal <10)

fecal transglutaminase IgA 14 (normal <10)

HLA - DQB1 allele 1 (0201)

HLA- DQB1 allele 2 (0303)

serological equivalent: HLA-DQ 2,3 (subtype 2,9)

Thanks so much

Rachelle

Rachelle, I am so glad you finally know without a doubt what is wrong. Now you can get on with your (gluten-free) life. I am no expert with the genes, so will let others comment on those.

Let me take a shot at simplifying the gene info...

HLA - DQB1 allele 1 (0201) - This is HLA DQ 2, subtype 2 or more simply just "DQ2" which is a celiac gene.

HLA- DQB1 allele 2 (0303) - This is HLA DQ 3, subtype 9 or more simply just "DQ9" which is a gluten sensitive gene.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Jukie, now how is a person to know this? I've read through all the FAQ at enterolab and can't quite decifer the gene info. I'm a lab tech, it should make sense to me. Is there somewhere else I can go to find out more? The reason I ask is that a few months ago, I remember someone posting that they had the gene that coded for neurological symptoms (which I have HUGELY) . I should have wrote it down at the time but didn't. Now I want to find some supporting info for that to be my gene (Like I said, I want to make sure and prove to my family that it's not all literally in my head).

Thanks again,

Rachelle

Try googling your genes ... you can get lots of info that way.

Yeah, I Google your genes. I found a ton of interesting information, like one of them made me proof against narcolepsy. Good thing, I suppose. :P

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      Has your hubbie been checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)? This is not uncommon in the celiac population. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21820-small-intestinal-bacterial-overgrowth-sibo

      Probably celiac but also confused

      Update: I got a call on Monday from the GI doctor's office, they had a cancellation and an appointment opened up for Tuesday. Not much time to prepare, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I haven't been gluten free at any point, but I haven't really loaded up as much as was recommended, either. It takes another 6-8 weeks to get the results, so I'd rather get it done now. I just hope it will be enough and I won't have to try again and delay it even longer. Thanks for the recommendations and thoughtful responses, much appreciated. I will be following up with my GP soon to check for nutritional deficiencies while I'm waiting on the test results.

      thank you kind sir for replying to my post , it seems like a mine field at the moment, I gave him hard boiled eggs yesterday maybe that caused him to have a flair up today, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment, trying to keep him feeling better ,

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Welcome to the forum, @rjane! Making gluten free bread from scratch that both tastes good and holds together is a real challenge. There are some pretty good commercially made choices in the stores these days. Once the big food companies figured out there were enough of us out there for them to generate a profit, they went to work developing some good recipes that are hard to emulate at home. However, the commercially made breads are expensive! One thing to to realize is that gluten free flours often contain ingredients that are hard to digest (polysaccharides) and can cause gas, bloating and the runs. Things like xanthan gum and gar gum that are used as texturing agents. The other thing to understand is that your hubby may have developed intolerance to foods in addition to those that contain gluten. This is common among celiacs and especially in the early stages of recovery. The most common offenders are dairy, oats (even gluten free oats), soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the most prevalent offenders. So, you might experiment with eliminating some of these things. As healing of the villous lining of the small bowel progresses, secondary food intolerances can disappear but full healing can take two years or longer for older adults.
