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

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
