Hi welcome to the board, looks like you have double DQ1 genes, same as me & my family. There is a double DQ1 thread on the "Coping With" forum, you might want to also post your symptoms, questions etc there. Us double DQ1's like to get to know each other. Do you have any other auto immune illnesses? Is your family from Ireland & England orginally? Anyone in your hfamily ever been diagnosed with hemochromatosis?

With those genes you are considered gluten intolerant, you can google that & come up with a lot of information. this forum does recognize gluten intolerance to a degree, but really it is all the same you still have to avoid gluten and for you dairy also. It is my opinion and some of the other gluten intolerant people that gluten intolerance is nothing more than the beginning stages of celiac, of course you can have double DQ1 & still be dxd by biopsy. 1% of biopsy dxd celiacs do not have DQ2 or DQ8. most of us just say celiac because it is shorter, although that bugs some people ;)

Do you have neurological symptoms also? It is very prevalent with DQ1 genes. Do you have other food sensitivities, "allergies" a lot of us DQ1's also fall into those categories.

Do you know what blood type you are? You can also google double DQ1...

Hi -

Wow. Answers for you: yes - I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis. My fam is Irish and English decent. I don't even know what hemochromatosis is, so I'll have to google that one. ;-) I suffer from migraines as do my Mom, Dad and brother. A Pos on the blood type. I don't have other allgergies that I know of, but this all seems to be a work in progress....

Thanks for the info and reply!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again
