Gene Test Results Question


GFSFVegan

Recommended Posts

GFSFVegan Newbie

Can anyone help us figure out which genes we have? Where does the DQx come from??

My husbands gene results look like this:

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0201

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0202

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

My gene results look like this:

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0301

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0503

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,1 (Subtype 7,5)

Thanks !!!

Jenn

When people say they have DQx, they're usually talking about the subtype. Your husband has one of the main celiac genes, DQ2.5 (HLA-DQB1*0201). You have DQ7 and DQ5, which can also cause all kinds of problems... DQ5 (one of the DQ1 subtypes) is associated with neurological reactions to gluten (MS, vertigo, ataxia, depression, etc...). DQ7 is associated with gluten intolerance, casein intolerance, thyroid disorders, lupus, grass and pollen allergies, sinusitis and gingivitis.

It seems like a lot of people with DQ7 don't produce enough stomach acid and/or digestive enzymes, which allows bacteria like candida to get out of control... causing a leaky gut, multiple sensitivities to food and environmental allergens, and all kinds of autoimmune disorders.

Wikipedia is actually a good place to start learning about the DQ genetics...

Thank you for your help & the link. That certainly does explain a lot!!! Amazing to think they've matched symptoms down to the gene level.....

Genetics is really revolutionizing medicine! I know a lot of people are worried about getting these things tagged as "pre-existing conditions" on their health insurance, but frankly... IMO this is the best way to figure out what kind of preventative care you need.

      Hi, @jeriM, I can attest to Celiac and eye problems being connected!  There's a higher rate of Sjogren's Syndrome in Celiac people than in those without celiac disease.  Sjogren's Syndrome causes dry eyes and can even lead to dry mouth which can alter taste and smell.  Have your doctor check for Sjogren's.  Correct low Vitamin D, which regulates the immune system.  Talk to your nutritionist about including in your diet plenty of Omega Three's. Omega Three's help keep our eyes moist and lubricated.  You know how oil floats on water, same thing with our eyes!  Fun fact:  Our eyes are derived from the same sort of tissues as our digestive tract in a developing fetus. Oh, check your thyroid function, too.  Hashimoto's thyroiditis frequently occurs with Sjogren's. Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster in celiac disease.  I also have Diabetes type two.   Discuss with your nutritionist the benefits of a low histamine diet.  A low histamine diet can help reduce inflammation and gets those inflammation markers down.  I like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal health. Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Ah, Scott,    Ha ha!  Thats almost a reasonable assumption given the prices during the shortage.  However, our eggs?  We always gave them away to friends and seniors we know, so no mansion here.  Now we have to buy eggs like everyone else.   The house we found, we loved so much that it made it worth it for us to give up the chickens.  A hard decision.

      Claritin is an allergy medication which can help with allergy symptoms, but may not be helpful with gluten exposure.

      I know what you mean about the high cost of drugs. I recently had to get meds for my mother from a Canadian pharmacy because only the non-generic version is available is the USA, and it is ~$550 per month here, while in Canada the generic version is only around 1/3 the cost.
