Just Ordered A Gene Test

I just ordered Enterolab's gene panel for Celiac. Inquiring minds need to know! What'll be interesting is..if it comes out that I don't have the Celiac gene markers...then what? Just non-genetic gluten intolerance? The way I understand it is a negative test indicates that Celiac Disease cannot develop in that individual...

I look forward to additional knowledge:) jerry

Please correct me if I am wrong, but have you not felt better eliminating gluten from your life. I know that you have added it into your diet to test. I know that everyone needs to do what they feel comfortable with. If you feel you need the written word, then go for the testing. It is all a personal choice

If you do test and it is negative, you still know that you feel better gluten free. Sooo, that's up for you to decide.

I was different. I was in the bathroom for two months and could not leave the house, much less the room. I was tested by a gastro dr. I had scalloped walls, flat villi, gastritis and a large hiatal hernia.

They told me I had Celiac, and I asked what in the world is that. And the door slammed on my you know what. Hence, my arrival here.

I keep wondering if I should do the same. How long does it take to get them? How long for the results? Do they take credit cards?

HI

I tried to log into sight on a Thursday nite last week

Chickened out when it came to 'hitting send key'

Mmost of my infor was there.

I must link anyway to their site b/c called and placed my order on Fri late in Texas.

Since my info was there already, she took my card over the phone.

You can do it all on line.

There are many options you can pick to test.

My tests should arrive this Thurs or Fri..so that's fast and maybe 2 week turn around they said to get results.

There is a nurse on staff to go over the results if you want to call and talk to them.

This woman i talked to Cathy was really nice and very knowledgeable.

I hope this link will work for you

About 90% of the people with celiac disease have DQ2. Another 8% have DQ8. That leaves 1 - 2% who have celiac who don't have either one of those. So it is possible you could still have celiac disease.

So given this fact, why should I do this test I just ordered?

There still would be no proof :ph34r::blink: right???

I know that I'll never eat gluten again reguardless of what the tests says as it makes me sick..but wanted for my son and also if not celiac ..still could be gluten intollerance which they're to test for.

Oh this gets so confusing..

sigh! Judy

The consensus of those "in the know" is that mere gluten sensitivity is NOT to be dismissed or taken lightly. Many doctors feel the syndrome should ALL be designated as gluten sensitivity, with celiac disease merely being a small subset of this. Gluten sensitivity can cause all the same symptoms/discomfort/sickness etc., and it can even cause intestinal damage. Without a specifically identified celiac gene you wouldn't likely get celiac disease....I say "likely" because there are still people who have gotten it without the known celiac genes....apparently there are still some unidentified celiac genes, but the % is tiny.

Gluten sensitivity that is ignored can still cause tissue and organ damage, and potentially lead to certain cancers. You don't ignore it, and the advice seems to be whether you have celiac disease or are gluten sensitive, you DON'T EAT GLUTEN!!! NOT EVER!

Absolutely the results of this test will not make me deviate from my plan to go gluten free. I have a doctors appointment in 1 week...after I have a blood test, I do not plan to eat gluten again.

I'm looking at the gene test as another piece of data that I can take to family members and urge them to be on the lookout for Celiac type symptoms. It's just more data. The symptoms I feel are enough to convince me.

I just ordered the full panel from Enterolab. It took about a week and a half for the results but they said to give them 3 weeks. They do take credit cards.

I got the gene test, and found out I carry 2 genes for gluten sensitivity, meaning that both of my children have at least one gene, and that both my parents carry them. I am so glad I got the gene test, for my children and my family.

My brother is going to get himself tested, and his 3 sons, one of which has unexplained seizures. So, who knows? I am glad that they took it so seriously. My other brother, not so much, but at least I gave them the information, and they can decide what to do with their health.

And, Dr. Fine himself said that a positive response from going gluten free should be evidence enough, but I have to admit, it's great to see something in black and white, and KNOW.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
