Enterolab Results-please Help

[wadaman]

This site has been a welath of information with so many peolple willing to help. I'm relatively new to the site and I finally tested with Enterolab. I would sure appreciate any help in interpreting the results, especially the DNA testing.

Here are my lab results:

A) Gluten Sensitivity Stool and Gene Panel Complete *Best test/best value

Fecal Antigliadin IgA 14 (Normal Range <10 Units)

Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 7 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score 641 Units (Normal Range <300 Units)

Fecal anti-casein (cow's milk) IgA antibody 7 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0302

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0202

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,2 (Subtype 8,2)

Thank's in advance for any help.

I'll have to leave the 3 subtype 8 gene for someone else to speak to, as I can't remember. But the 0202 is a DQ2 gene, but not the one strongly associated with celiac which is 0201.

The ttg is negative but IGA is positive with positive and significant malabsorption.

Casein is negative which is good news re milk.

Malabsorption can have many causes but along with the positive IgA, I'd say there is a clear gluten problem.

Dq3 suptype 8 means DQ8, the other official celiac gene.

DQ3 has 3 subtyes, namely 7, 8 and 9, and they are very very similar.

Also with the casein coming in at 7, I wouldnt be surprised if it wouldnt help to cut it out along with gluten for at least a few months.
