nora,

I have the DQ1, 5(D5). I have definite neurological symptoms. My mood, vision, speech, and thinking are all effected. I have also many other symptoms. I use to have "spells" which were awful. I would not be able to think, would have to think very hard about what I was saying, and things would look further away then they really were. Sometimes It would make me sick to my stomach but not always. I have not had one at all since going gluten free. yea!!! My mood has stabilized a lot also. Yea!!!

ve you checked out the glutensensitivity forums at braintalk and neurotalk? There is more about the DQ1 there. There is not so much activity right now, but archives are interesting enough.

I am DQ3 but this also applies to me. If I had waited to show positive on a blood test I would be dead. The DQ stuff is the gene testing results. When I was tested they considered only 2 genes DQ2 and DQ8 to be 'celiac' genes. They have now found 7 more. Celiac really is a spectrum disease and I hope they start to recognize it as such soon. For many the damage to brain and other organs can be really severe before the GI stuff shows up as more than an annoyance. I suffered terribly from the neuro, joint and skin effects for at least 25 years before the GI stuff appeared. My celiac gene is considered an RA gene here. If they had gene tested me before I had gone gluten free they would have diagnosed me with RA and never looked any further. I am very thankful I was already diagnosed before gene testing was done. I would be in a wheelchair and still in constant pain and all doped up otherwise.

hi,

I have been to those links, but just a little. I will check them out more. Thanks

:) I am sorry everyone is going through this, I am too. I have been sick my whole life.. When I was a child they said I was allergic to myself (I guess that is what they called auto immune disease in those days).

i have been dx with fibro,m irritable bowel, osteoarthritis, osteoperosis, peridontal disease, migraines,terrible allergies, psriosis, Iga very low, thyroid disease, fatique, distended and bloated stomach, you know like everyone else

The big whoop is that i have tested positive with the ELISA scale for wheat and gluten allergies. I tes low On IGa always because i must be Iga deficient. so the other blood work says i am not celiac . i was gluten free for 3 months, and than the doc wanted to do the endoscope. So i ate gluten like a glutten for 2 weeks. (and felt very bad). He took 10 bilopsies, and they came back negative.

From what I read it is still possible to get false negatives and be celiac.

I feel good when I don't eat aqt all, does than say something, anyway the beg question is can youall help me , understand if i am celiac or not :huh: mom hqs sjogrens disease, another autoimmune disease, whaich they also say i don't have. i want to get better. I am 55 and have been incapacipated since 40.

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.
