Congrats at finally getting your test results in! I would definitely test your daughters, as well as your siblings and parents, because the gene came from somewhere and can affect them. It is better to know than to be in the dark.

It's a relief to finally know, isn't it!!! I was Dx'd 4-1 and have a biopsy on 5/15 and then can start the gluten free diet...thank the lord b/c now that I know what makes me sick...it's hard to eat it! But as far as the kids go...

As soon as I got my blood work back I had my son tested....he's 2.5 and hasn't shown symptoms but from what i hear not all people do. I wasn't worries so much for myself but for him. He's neg now but I have to have him tested every 2 years. I'm thinking baout getting the gene test done on him to find out if he has the gene or not....that way we wouldn't have to poke him unless necesary! I know I get this from my Dad's side and my sib;ings are being tested as we speak. Better to know early! I would get your kids tested...better safe than sorry. I thank God everyday that I found out about this at 24 and can start treating it now and hopefully ward of some other issues! Good Luck!

Nearly everyone in the US has gluten intolerance or celiac genes (only exception, some of Asian heritage). One-third have the celiac genes. Obviously more is involved in having a problem than simply having these genes.

If it were me, I would test when there are symptoms. That is the way my kids have decided to handle it (they are old enough so it is up to them, not me).

Of course, there is no harm to testing everyone periodically, except to your bank account :lol:

Pedro, congratulations on finally knowing. Obviously you have intestinal damage, because you have malabsorption.

I would definitely test the children as well. It is much better to test BEFORE there are obvious symptoms. A lot of people find that when they eliminate gluten, symptoms that weren't recognized as such go away.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      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.
