Gene Test Results

it has been such a long time since i have been on the board that i don't know if anyone will even remember me. the look of the board has changed since i was last here.

we joined the celiac study that is being done at the university of california, irvine a year and a half ago. the results of the celiac tests confirmed what we already knew about our three girls with celiac. i just barely found out the results of our genetic testing. i didn't get the results of my two older kids because they are over 18. i asked them to mail them the results. as far as the rest of us---every single one of us carries the DQ2 gene----both my husband and i and all 7 kids we have had together. my two oldest are from my first marriage. kevin has two from another marriage, also, but neither one of them was tested.

i really didn't expect that every one of us would carry one of the genes and i wonder what activated the disease in the three girls and not in the rest of us. i guess this means yearly blood tests for all of us.

I have a post about my test results, which the only thing I am sure of is that I have the DQ2 gene; I don't know what the antibody results show if anything. I haven't really got a good answer on what the positive DQ2 means, can you help me out?

It means you have the genetic disposition to develop celiac, but it doesn't mean that you necessarily will develop it. Some people do, some don't and as far as I know, the reason isn't really known yet. Often people get sick after a major trauma or stress of some sort, like an operation, or having mono, or pregnancy, but what exactly triggers the celiac I don't know.

ducky is right---the lady over the study says that they know there are other genes involved besides DQ2 and DQ8. they are trying to find out what they are. a good example of this would be the fact that with identical twins, if one has celiac the other has a 70-75% chance of getting celiac---but not a 100% chance. in our case, my identical twins both have celiac.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
