Gene Test Results

My Gene tests are below with my signature. Is there any experts out there who can give me further explanation of the number stuff and the subtypes? I understand I do not have Celiac, but gluten sensitivity and they said I have gluten sensitive genes from both parents and my children will have at least one. I have gluten ataxia and lower colon problems. I have read and re-read the gene info and I feel like I understand, but then I don't. Especially the subtype number thing. Thanks

You and I have the same genes. I had ataxia, vertigo, migraines and neuropathy. GI was minimal.....just going 6 times a day.

My ataxia is nearly gone, vertigo is getting there, but the migraines, neuropathy and frequent BM's are all gone. :)

I am not a gene expert, but our genes predispose us to gluten sensitivity, grass allergy and a few others.

One of our genes is protective of T1 Diabetes. Genes have good and bad points.

Cool! I take daily med. for the migraines. I don't dare to cut down and find out yet, but will in the near future hopefully. My vertigo is getting better. The numbness, tingling, twitching is gone some days and rearing its ugly head others. My bowels are up and down. You see I had severe constipation from gluten the last two years, after years of Dia. I still ache all over some days and my lower colon is bad right now. If it doesn't hurt, its spasming or ice cold, like a cold spot. I will be having a colonoscopy soon. I had an apt. on Dec. 8 with a new doc. that just got changed to Dec. 22, so now I have to wait again! My head is clearing, I talk better and the literal "Haze" visually is better.

I was reading on the Ataxia, kind of scary what it does the the base of the brain. No wonder I couldn't walk straight. That is getting better too. I was getting so discouraged, I really felt like I might be slowly dying there for awhile. I was giving up because I couldn't seem to get help from the medical community. No one around here seems to knows much about it.

I ate chocolate chips in gluten free cookies this week and I don't feel to well the last few days. I think it was the "soy licithin". I had read it was of "no consequence" to persons with soy allergy because of the way it is broken down. ( I've had that for 30 years) I know I have not eaten gluten. What do you think about the soy licithin? My usual gluten symptoms seem worse right now. Could soy do that?

I avoid soy. I make all my own food from scratch. I cannot eat chocolate at all. I get severe rebound depression. I have challenged it so many times and always regret it.

Any food can cause symptoms, you just have to eliminate/challenge to find out. It is no fun, but can be rewarding when you nail it down.

My genetic sister, you are on the right path. My migraines were the first to go and have not returned. :)

      Is this celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Marsh 3b is the Gold Standard of diagnosis for Celiac Disease.  Until recently, regardless of antibody tests, positive or negative, you had to have Marsh 3 damage to be awarded the diagnosis of Celiac. As I understand you,  you were having constant symptoms..  Your symptoms improved on GFD, with occassional flare ups. Did your doctor say you do and you are questioning the diagnosis? Regarding your increasing severity when you get glutened it is "normal.  Gluten acts on the Opiod receptors to numb your body.  Some report withdrawal symptoms on GFD.  I was an alcoholic for 30 years, about 1/2 pint of voda a day. Each time I identified a trigger and dealt with it, a new trigger would pop up.  Even a 30 day rehab stint, with a low fat diet (severe pancreatis) during which I rarely had cravings.  Stopped at a Wendys on the way home and the next day I was drinking again.  20 years later, sick as a dog, bedridden on Thanksgiving, after months of reasearch, I realized that gluten free was my Hail Mary.  Back in 1976 my son was diagnosed at weaning with Celiac Disease and his doctor suggested my wife and I should also be gluten free because it is genetic.  At 25 years old I felt no gastro problems and promised if I ever did I would try gluten free.  Well, I forgot that promise until I was 63.  Three days of gluten and alcohol free, I could no longer tolerate alcohol. Eleven years gluten and alcohol free, with no regrets. Improvement was quick, but always two steps forward and one back.  Over time I found nineteen symptoms that I had been living with for my entire life, that doctors had said, "We don't know why, but that is normal for some people". Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  It is an autoimmune disease, meaning your immune system B and T cells create antibodies against ttg(2) the small intestin in Celiac Disease and sometimes ttg(3) in skin in Dermatitis Herpetiformus.  Why is poorly understood.  In fact, it wasn't even know that wheat, barley and rye gluten was the cause.  Celiac Disease was also called Infantilism, because it was deadly, and believed to only be a childhood disease. So as part of your symptoms you must deal with those deficiencies.  Especially vitamin D because it contols your immune system.  Virtually all newly diagnosed Celiacs have vitamin D deficiency.  There are about 30 vitamin and minerals that are absorbed in the small intestine.  With Marsh 3 damage you may be eating the amount everyone else does, but you are not absorbing them into your system, so you will display symptoms of their deficiency.   As time passes and you replenish your deficiencies you may notice other symptoms improve, some you did not even know were sypmptos. Our western diet has many deficiencies build into it.   That is the reason foods with gluten are fortified.  Gluten free processed food are not required to fortify.  Vitamin D, Iodine, choline.  The B vitamins, especially Thiamine (B1) run deficient quickly.  We only store enough thiamine for 2 weeks for symptoms can come on quickly.  Magnesium, zinc, etc. each having its own symptoms affecting multiple systems.  High homocystene, and indicator of vascular inflamation can be cause by deficient Choline, folate, B6 and or B12.  Brain fog, deficient choline, iodine, thiamine.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      I cut out the rice because it was affecting my stomach at the time ... not necessarily dermatitis herpetiformis. It was Tilda Basmati Rice, sometimes wholegrain rice. I was willing to do whatever it took to heal. Too much fiber also disagrees with me as I have UC.

      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?

      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      I am only wondering why you would need to cut out rice? I've never heard of rice being any issue in those with DH.
