Feedback On My Sons Lab Results

Is there anybody who can give me feedback on these results from Enterolab.

Is this enough reason to eliminate gluten and totally change his diet. He just turned seven.

What is the current thought on the accuracy of Enterolab. Any feedback would be helpful

Thanks!

your son has 2 Celiac genes.

I would definately try the diet.

I went through enterolab after going off gluten(didn't know I should test first). They were positive and the diet has helped.

re numbers, well it is like being pregnant, you are or you are not. Your son is positive for gluten intolerance.

re the genes, he is double DQ3, which is considered, in the U.S. anyway, a gluten intolerant gene. (Or at least that is what I think I remember, but I am not looking at the gene chart so I could be wrong) But, having two copies of the same gene - which your son has, means that his symptoms will be worse or that is what I find. & I think Dr Fine also includes that information in his diagnosis. The medical people are so far behind on these gene studies that no one really knows what they mean.

But, they continue to make "discoveries" like having DQ1-0501 is really equal to having a part of a DQ2 gene. I know two people with that gene in addition to another DQ1 gene. One of them had a positive biopsy & 1 of them had positive blood work, no biopsy. Both tested thru Enterolab after the initial diagnosis, & found out that they were double DQ1.

Your son is not only double DQ3 but with the same allele of 0302, you can say that he has two copies of the same gene. One came from his mother & one came from his father. I wonder which other genes that you & his father have? That would be interesting to see!

There is an article on here & a thread about double DQ2...

hi,

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0302

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0302

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,3 (Subtype 8,8)

DQ3 is split into 3 subtypes: 7,8,9

DQ3 subtpe 8 is Dq 8 the celiac gene.

DQ3 subtype 7 or 9 are gluten intolerant genes.

Since he has two copies of the same celiac gene he has an even higher risk of having celiac. Also mom and dad BOTH have a celiac gene, DQ8.

Good luck, If it was my child he would be off gluten definately. IF it doesn't help then you can investigate something else. But he has two copies of a celiac gene, so I would watch him anyways, but my bet is gluten is a problem already.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      Welcome, @catnapt! The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of a minimum of 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. But if possible stretching that out even more would enhance the chances of getting valid test results. These guidelines are for those who have been eating gluten free for...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      after several years of issues with a para-gland issue, my endo has decided it's a good idea for me to be tested for celiac disease. I am 70 yrs old and stunned to learn that you can get celiac this late in life. I have just gradually stopped eating most foods that contain gluten over the past several years- they just make me feel ill- although I...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      The biopsy looks for damage to the mucosal lining of the small bowel from the inflammation caused by celiac disease when gluten is ingested. Once you remove gluten from the diet, inflammation subsides and the mucosal lining begins to heal.

      Welcome, @catnapt! The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of a minimum of 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. But if possible stretching that out even more would enhance the chances of getting valid test results. These guidelines are for those who have been eating gluten free for a significant amount of time. It's called the "gluten challenge".  Yes, you can develop celiac disease at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but also a stress trigger that is needed to activate the celiac genes. About 30-40% of the general population possesses the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually develop celiac disease. For most with the potential, the triggering stress event doesn't happen. It can be many things but often it is a viral infection. Having said that, it is also the case that many, many people who eventually are diagnosed with celiac disease probably experienced the actual onset years before. Many celiacs are of the "silent" type, meaning that symptoms are largely missing or very minor and get overlooked until damage to the small bowel lining becomes advanced or they develop iron deficiency anemia or some other medical problem associated with celiac disease. Many, many are never diagnosed or are diagnosed later in life because they did not experience classic symptoms. And many physicians are only looking for classic symptoms. We now know that there are over 200 symptoms/medical problems associated with celiac disease but many docs are only looking for things like boating, gas, diarrhea. I certainly understand your concerns about not wanting to damage your body by taking on a gluten challenge. Your other option is to totally commit to gluten free eating and see if your symptoms improve. It can take two years or more for complete healing of the small bowel lining once going gluten free but usually people experience significant improvement well before then. If their is significant improvement in your symptoms when going seriously gluten free, then you likely have your answer. You would either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      after several years of issues with a para-gland issue, my endo has decided it's a good idea for me to be tested for celiac disease. I am 70 yrs old and stunned to learn that you can get celiac this late in life. I have just gradually stopped eating most foods that contain gluten over the past several years- they just make me feel ill- although I attributed it to other things like bread spiking blood sugar- or to the things I ate *with* the bread or crackers etc   I went to a party in Nov and ate a LOT of a vegan roast made with vital wheat gluten- as well as stuffing, rolls and pie crust... and OMG I was so sick! the pain, the bloating, the gas, the nausea... I didn't think it would ever end (but it did) and I was ready to go the ER but it finally subsided.   I mentioned this to my endo and now she wants me to be tested for celiac after 2 weeks of being on gluten foods. She has kind of flip flopped on how much gluten I should eat, telling me that if the symptoms are severe I can stop. I am eating 2-3 thin slices of bread per day (or english muffins) and wow- it does make me feel awful. But not as bad as when I ate that massive amnt of vital wheat gluten. so I will continue on if I have to... but what bothers me is - if it IS celiac, it seems stupid for lack of a better word, to intentionally cause more damage to my body... but I am also worried, on the other hand, that this is not a long enough challenge to make the blood work results valid.   can you give me any insight into this please?   thank you

I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.
