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. :)

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      Gluten related ??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.

      Just wanted to add that checking B12 and Vitamin D only is not going to give an accurate picture of vitamin deficiencies.   B12 Cobalamine needs the seven other B vitamins to work properly.   You can have vitamin deficiency symptoms before the B12 blood level changes to show deficiency.  You can have "normal" B12, but have deficiencies in other B vitamins like Thiamine and Niacin, for which there are no accurate tests. Take a B Complex supplement with all the B vitamins.  Take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  Thiamine Mononitrate found in most vitamin supplements is not easy for the body to utilize.  What makes thiamine mononitrate not break down on the shelf also makes it hard for the body to absorb and utilize.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 deficiency symptoms include anxiety, depression and irritability.  The brain uses more Thiamine than other organs.  Take the B Complex and Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and look for health improvements in the following weeks.
