Those are not celiac gene tests, but the antireticulin test is sometimes done but the ttg and antigliadin tests and the EMA are the standard celic tests together with total IGA.

The person ordering the tests really screwed up in my opinion. Did they play darts on the lab sheet?

I happened to open a alink now to HLA class 1 type A B and C

Open Original Shared Link but I do not know what it means beside checking the migration of the Han chinese.

The lab doesn't "do the wrong tests". The doctor gives exact orders for what he/she wants tested, and the lab just performs the tests the doctor ordered. I work in the lab, and we never "just decide" what tests we do. Just wanted to clear that up.

There seem to be several HLA tests, and I commented on the HLA class 1 type 1 2 and 3 test done.

For celiac, we want the MHC class II DQ tests for the 9 DQ types.

I have seen lab reports in the files of patients. Sometimes doctors ordered ft3 for thyroid tests together with TSH, sometimes ft4, sometimes total t4. Looked like they did not know what they ordered.

Looks to me that the doctor just ordered some random HLA tests when he wanted HLA tests for DQ2 or 8.

Some lab sheets are quite confusing.

No it just got sent to the wrong lab..it went to mayo instead of prometheus which does the dq2 8.. lol then prometheus did fax over the form and guess what? they ck'd off the wrong box.. the dr took 1 look at it crossed it off in thick black marker and circled the correct tests..

so we shall c what happens.. idk how long it takes..

thanks all for help..

no what happened was it went to mayo clinic and they dont do it.. it should of gone to prometheus.. and then prometheus sent the dr the form and THEY marked the wrong tests down.. the dr crossed it off w/thinck magic marker and cirled the correct tests... thanks and sometimes its not the lab that draws the blood but the place that receives it..

thanks have wonderful holiday

I feel relieved that your doctor does know which tests to order. Sounds like a good doctor.

Sounds like the Mayo clinic simply does not do celiac gene tesing, but only tissue typing for transplanting organs. That is what they use the other HLA tests for, or to look for other diseases.

Btw, have you read Dr. Lewey's recent articles on gene testing for celiac?

Some labs test both the alpha and beta chains of the gene, some test only for the beta chains, and if you read the wiki page they comment on the difference of serotyping, electropeheresis and the third test which the writer says is better.

Note that some labs only test for DQ2 or 8, and you migend up needing the Enterolab test anyway.

Hi Nora,

No I haven't read the article but now that you gave me the link i will not only read it but pass it on to my rock group as well.. Well the mayo clinic does some of the tests. I think it was the lab tech who sent it to the wrong lab, and the 2nd time the dr specifically wrote what test and the lab tech that was there I have known for a while.. The are the greatest at this hospital. I dont know how they do it but even if they dont remember your name they remember you on site.. Oh and thanks about the dr.. I never mentioned where I take my daughter.. I take her to Schneiders Childrens hospital on LI in NY.. I know other ppl who use them also.. In fact 1 person her dr there sent her to a another celiac specialist all the way down in Maryland.. Because her daughter was not getting better. Turned out more to the problem than expected. But is all cleared up now and she is doing better, btw my daughter has gained about 13.5 kilos since going on the diet and grown about if the conversion chart is correct or i did it correct she grew about 7 inches or 0.000177 km.. thats pretty good and she is heading into another growth spurt shortly.. she's getting pudgy again..lol

well once again thank you for your help..

talk soon

      Help needed

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Thankyou so much for your reply I decided to skip the senna has I've already had very loose stools last few days I've cut my portions down on the low fiber diet too and drinking lots of liquid has I just thought it would be wise to listen to myself too I've probably already done wat the senna would of done myself naturally by drinking clear apple juice which if not on the diet I would have to avoid anyways has I don't tolerate many fruit juices so I'm sure I've done the right thing I did try to contact the department on my letter but weirdly enough it was ringing but then after a while saying wrong number 🤷 but again I'm positive I've done the right thing I'm going to take today very lightly too with low portions and more liquids so yes thankyou for that advise I am very nervous but I have had time to think and read other peoples experiences and not all are bad there is some good advise and reassuring information from people who do these all the time so I'm trying my best to be positive so I can at least settle my mind knowing im doing this to help my own health has this year has been a rollercoaster for me cutting out gluten and lactose was a good idea but I still get flare ups and other symptoms so it definitely is worth a check like you said it was the calprotein that prompted the doctor to refer me again thankyou for your reply it's means a lot for someone to take the time to listen and respond and give uplifting advise  especially to me just now has I'm a bundle of nerves inside getting closer to tomorrow prep so thankyou for that 🙏

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi StevieP I think it is best to take GliadinX Just before, during or just after you eat a food that may have a small amount of gluten.  Taking 2 capsules of GliadinX in the morning will not protect you all day because it will be long gone when you need it. The upper digestive system is where the digestive enzymes break down gluten. The problem with Celiacs is that normal digestion will only break down gluten to the point where the small fragments will still cause a reaction. GliadinX will break down the fragments so that they are too small to start the autoimmune reaction.  The label on my bottle reads'it works in the stomach' and that is ver concentrated so 1 capsule is the recomm Hope this helps/Have a lovely cruise.ended dose for each meal.

      It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (like Crohn’s or colitis) is typically because it can irritate an already inflamed colon. Since you don’t yet have a confirmed diagnosis—but your brother has colitis—it might be worth calling your gastroenterologist’s office today to clarify if you should skip the senna given your symptoms and family history. Some clinics have an on-call nurse who can advise quickly. For the prep itself: Plenvu is strong, so if your bowels are already loose, the senna might be overkill. Stick to clear liquids tomorrow (broth, apple juice, etc.) and stay near a bathroom! For anxiety, remember the procedure itself is painless (you’ll likely be sedated), and the prep is the hardest part. Bring a phone charger or book to the clinic, and treat yourself afterward to something gentle on your stomach (like mashed potatoes or yogurt). Hang in there—this is a big step toward answers. You’re doing great advocating for yourself!
