My 0301 Gene Friends

Ok you all know how i have benn researching celiac genes. Well i emailed enterolab about my thoughts and ideas of 0301 and this is what they told me.

Response: Dear Paula, Thank you for your correspondence. We actually have all of our DQ3 gene results checked for ambiguities when they are being run initially, so there is very little chance that the result is incorrect. It is quite possible to test positive for Celiac Disease with an 0301 gene and without a DQ2 or DQ8. The 0301 also sometimes acts like a Celiac gene, according to Dr. Fine's research. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Phyllis Zermeno, RN, BSN Clinical Manager

What do you all think?

Does this just prove that there are more genes that are celiac?

Or does this mean many of us with 0301 do indeed have celiac?

Serious researchers have said for years that they have only found two celiac disease genes this far, but there are likely more. For any doctors to claim that you can't have celiac disease unless you have the DQ2 or DQ8 is just ignorance on their part.

You can absolutely have celiac disease with genes other than the ones officially recognized at this point.

Hi Paula

Thats exactly what they told me yesterday when I called EnterLabs.

This is very interesting.

Ursa I agree.

Does anyone knows of any ungoing research on this matter?????

Only something like 50% of the human genome has been figured out (as to what they do). There are some new recent advances though that should be turning up some very interesting things.

What's going to be even more interesting is proteinomics, that is discovering the proteins that these genes code for. :P

I have seen several articles which have been accepted in peer-revieved publications, by Dr. Hadjivassiliou, that 20% of the gluten ataxia patients (who also had Ttg andtibodies and some other immunological markers bedause of gluten) have DQ1.

And there is something about DQ7 too some other places.

Open Original Shared Link here is something about DQ9 and celiac.

I'm a bit ignorant of all the gene information, so please excuse me. My son has double DQ3, subtype 7. Is this the same as DQ7? (I think it is.) I also have at least one copy of this gene, but don't know what my other one is.

My son's main symptoms are behavioral - teacher wanted him tested for ADD, he went gluten-free and now is an honor student in middle school. He's like Jekyl and Hyde - we ALWAYS know when he's eaten gluten by his behavior. He also has some GI issues - mostly constipation and horrible gas.

I had GI issues (IBS), arthritis (gone now), hypothyroid (actually getting better), still have psoriasis and have a kidney disease that's completely in remission.

It always frustrates me when I read that I can't possibly have Celiac Disease because I don't have DQ2 or 8. I'm "only" gluten intolerant, which in no way describes the severity of symptoms I have when I eat gluten.

I personally think the reason the research is slow in coming is because there just isn't a lot of money to be made. Except for the discovery of a wonder drug that will honestly shut off the gluten intolerant gene without worse side effects, we celiacs aren't customers for much else once we have ourselves under control. The big drug and medical money demands projects that will give them a return on their investments. Government money tends to favor the established medical protocols.

Anyone who dares study us outside the box has to just plain care about all of us whether they make any money from it or not. And those kind souls are hard to find.

Even Dr. Fine is frequently criticized and scrutinized for running a lab that 'charges' for tests at the same time he is doing his studies. I suspect much of the money goes back into his research and all the sample results are necessary for data. If the guy makes a few bucks on the side for his brilliance, I think he deserves it.

If the DQ7 turns out to be one of the celiac genes than my family is all double celiac genes. I have the DQ7 and so does my daughter....along with a celiac gene.

About the research: I am in the country of the reseachers Lundin and Sollid (they were at the New York Conference last fall). I was gene tested at their lab. They reused to tell me which DQ type I had, only answered DQ2 and DQ8 negative. I phoned the lab and a lasy answerd that they maybe could tell if I am DQ3, but to ask my doctor to contact them (which of course means they can tell me more or she would have told me tehy can't) wrote back to doctor and printed out some stufffrom the net, but when I had been there before, he pulled out the article b y Lundin where he goes into detail about DQ2 and 8 and telles me that I cannot be celiac unless I am DQ2 or 8. He obviously has not read any other stuff...

All the money from the research here came from the celiac sosiety and they gor it from the money the lottey company has to give away. I have seen all the numbers. It is not very much, but probably only enough for DQ2 and DQ8.....

Here is another abstract about non-DQ2 or 8:

Open Original Shared Link

Maybe the Japanese will do some research as DQ2 is very rare there.

"In addition to celiac disease, several studies have shown that the DQ8, and to a lesser extent the DQ2, allele is linked to the occurrence of particular autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile (type 1) diabetes mellitus (14

Thanks for all the information that has been presented here. I find it all fascniating and makes me want to keep looking for more information.

I sit here and think will we ever have an definite answer to what genes are linked to celiac, or are many just going to be tested for 2 and 8, and think cause they dont have those genes that they are fine, when in fact they do have an gene for celiac. Are people going to have to go 20m 30, 50 more years without being diagnosed cause doctors say they dont have either of the 2 genes. I just sit here and think how many people have been tested, not had the gene and are still eating gluten and killing themselves. It just makes me so mad.

My daughter refused the gene test, and got a diagnosis because of the dictinct symptoms and the drastic improvement off gluten. even her graves antibodies just disappeared after going gluten-free. (but the TPO antibodies did not).

I did test negative for DQ2 or 8, so might she...she might not have gotten a diagnosis if she would have accepted the gene test and tested negative too......It would have been IBS or allergy or something.

we must have one or more of the other gluten-sensitive genes (which are really anything besides DQ4, which is only found in the far east and in Southern Africa anyway....)

Well, if DQ7 is also Celiac, then I have to be extra careful, lol. I have DQ8 and DQ7. I planned to stay off gluten for life anyway, but was hoping that I would some day be able to be less concerned about cross contamination issues once the other major health factors were taken care of and my gut had a chance to heal.

That would also mean that both my kids and my husband, and a bunch of people in his family, would have it too.

I've got two copies of DQ1, subtype 6 (0602 and 0609).

My kids have one each of my genes - daughter has 0609 and son has 0602, plus they both have the 0301, which has made me wonder if my husband has two copies of 0301.

I think it won't be too long (as in within a decade) until DQ3 and DQ1 are considered celiac genes. It wouldn't take a researcher more than a week of visiting here to determine that there is strong evidence to support that, but we all know how slowly these things go.

I think that once the Genetic Information Non-Descrimination Act is passed, Open Original Shared Link a lot of us will feel more comfortable coming forward to doctors and researchers with information and personal experience based on our gene types.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
