Oh my gosh! Do you guys actually know what all that means? If I have this test done eventually, will someone interpret it for me? Yikes!

Today - Old Navy.

Normally - Levis

But I'm working on switching the wardrobe to organic cotton.

I don't know my Gene's despite paying for the test from Enterolab. I'd have to look. I was diagnosed both by biopsy, diet, and Enterolab. Having had so many wrong diagnosis-es over the years, there was really no way I was going to let any one test change my life. All three pretty much confirmed each other, and that sealed the deal.

I never had the gene test done so I only know from deduction what mine are since my parents had theirs done. My mother's was:

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0302

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0501

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,1 (Subtype 8,5)

and my dad's was:

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,3 (Subtype 7,7)

Since my dad has a double gene I know I have the 7 and then either an 8 or 5 from my mother. Interestingly enough even though it's my mother that has the celiac gene it was my dad that tested positive for gluten intolerance. My brother is postive as well and he has the 7 and 8 genes.

Here's my Enterolab gene test results. Everyone who tests with Elab will get an explanation of their genetic (and other test) results. I also posted the interpretation included in my Elab gene test results:

Gene Test for Gluten Sensitivity

Molecular Analysis: HLA-DQB1*0602, 0302

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 1,3 (subtype 6,8)

HLA gene analysis reveals that you have a copy of one of the main genes that predisposes to gluten sensitivity and celiac sprue, HLA-DQ3, subtype 8 (HLA-DQ8). This genotype also can predispose to microscopic colitis and other autoimmune syndromes.

Thanks everyone that posted. I had some thoughts going threw my head yesterday and wanted to compare gene types, and see who had genes like mine. Plus i want to do some research on gene types sometime in the near future. I have to much going on right now to think straight, but it is on my 2 to list lol

Your HLA DQ 3 subtype 8 is what is referred to as HLA DQ 8, which is a Celiac gene.

from wikipedia:

DQ3 is split into DQ7, DQ8, and DQ9, but allele retain DQB1*03.

DQ7 = DQB1*0301 (or very similar alleles)

DQ8 = DQB1*0302 (or very similar alleles)

DQ9 = DQB1*0303 (or very similar alleles)

See this is one of the things that i am really interested in. I am dqb1 0301, which i think is very close to dqb1 0302. I am not sure how close they are but would really like to find out.

close doesn't mean the same though.

the entire explanation, from wikipedia:

Note on DQ Serotype Names in Relationship with Allele Names

DQ serotypes are usually a recognition of Beta chain isoform groups For example, DQ2 = alleles that start with DQB1*02 (*0201, *0202, and *0203).

DQ2 is encoded by alleles that start with DQB1*02

DQ4 is encoded by alleles that start with DQB1*04

There are two exceptions worth noting:

DQ1 is 'split' into DQ5 and DQ6, in this case the DQB1 alleles start with

-DQ5 encoded by alleles that start with DQB1*05

-DQ6 encoded by alleles that start with DQB1*06

DQ3 is split into DQ7, DQ8, and DQ9, but allele retain DQB1*03.

-DQ7 = DQB1*0301 (or very similar alleles)

-DQ8 = DQB1*0302 (or very similar alleles)

-DQ9 = DQB1*0303 (or very similar alleles)

You are DQ6 and DQ7.

thank you for posting that.

Does anyone know of an good book that explains all this., or is it bestjust to do all my seaching online

Paula,

You are welcome :).

I've found the best info online. go to wikipedia, and search for hla dq2, and click on the first link...I think its a great comprehensive overview of the hla dq genes of interest to us.

Thanks for that info. Yesterday i just kept typing in the difference between 7 and 8, i didnt hink to type just in 7 lol. I am going to try and do some more research today. I even emailed enterolab to see what they will tell me, I am sure i wont hear from them til next week tho.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
