I Got My Test Results...

Hi.

I got my test results today. I said in an earlier post that I wasn't "wishing" for an illness, but if it turns out I do, I will be happy to finally have an answer for being soooo sick for 14 months. Now I have a name for how I have been feeling. Gluten sensitivity and Casein sensitivity!

Thinking back, I have been sick with this my entire life. Started taking prescription constipation meds as a baby. My first memories of my mom and dad are in the bathroom. Sick huh?

I also now know my mom had this. My sis and brother are both sick, with different things but all symptoms of GS. Also my 20 year old dtr. ADD, Asperger's, joint pain, tired, stool probs... I will get the gene test on her done. And advise my bro and sis to also.

But, here's my question: We are going on vacation in March and in June (to Disney World) should I start the new diet now or continue to be sick and wait till July to start it? I have read here how several folks went gluten free, and then got really ill if they were glutened. So?

question 2: I will be contacting the lab also, but thought someone here could help me. What is the molecular analysis, Allele 1 0302 and Allele 2 0301? And the HLA-DQ 3,3 (subtype 8, 7)?

Thanks

Suzanne

Disney is one of the easiest places to go and eat gluten-free safely! I've heard all kinds of stories here about wonderful trips to Disney with gluten-free Mickey Mouse pancakes and other tasty food.

I've also heard that all the restaurants on the property they own have to accomodate people with food allergies.

We went to Disneyworld about a month ago and had no problem at all with the Disney restaurants. At every single Disney restaurant we went to they brought the chef out who told my husband what he could and could not eat. At one of the restaurants they sent very hot (freshly made) gluten-free rolls to our table along with the meal. (We told every restaurant ahead of time of our food needs and our information was put into a computer so when we checked in the hostess knew what was going on.)

We were very impressed, to say the least. Disney deserves huge praise for the attention they've given to this.

DQ3, subtype 8 is one of the main celiac genes (known as DQ8), DQ3, subtype 7 is one of the gluten sensitive genes. So you have two gluten sensitive enteropathy genes (one formally known as celiac and the other known as the catch all gluten sensitive) and all your children (if you have them) will have at least one gluten sensitive or celiac gene. This info is on the enterolab site under test interpretation, FAQ, etc. Best wishes and welcome to the celiac world!

Thanks for the best wishes. I am glad I found this site. I don't feel so alone in this anymore. I talked with my sister, she has already called her doc to look into this. She is quite the gourmet cook, so giving up gluten will be really difficult for her.

My daughter is resistant to going gluten free, she's 20 so I can't make her. I asked her if she ever wants to go through what I have this past year or so. She's of the mindset it won't happen to her. Time will tell.

Turns out I am also casein sensitive. This will be more difficult to rid from my diet than the gluten, I think. It'll be trial and error for a while.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
