Could someone help me? I know this is in no way a substitute for a biopsy but considering no doctor will help me, its all I have. I am confused over the gene panel. Any help would be great.

According to Enterolab's test results you have active dietary gluten sensitivity. This could either mean Celiac's or non-Celiac gluten sensitivity..the test unfortunately cannot tell us which one it is.

I have the same gene as you but only 1 copy. I am SO GLAD to see that they changed their interpretation of HLA-DQB1*0202...when I had the testing they called it a "gluten sensitivity" gene. With a right alpha allele it can become a Celiac gene. I'm glad they've specified this :)

What other testing have you had done previously? Have you tried the diet and seen results?

I have had a mulititude of symptoms, they are all listed in my sig line..where do you see that I have two copies of the gene, thats the part I don't understand. My results and your results seem similar...

I admit.. i am confused.

Yes I have been on the diet since 4-1... huge difference in my life.. i would never go back but needed verification above and beyond for personal reasons...

thank you!

I have two copies of the 0202 gene also, one on each allelle. One from my father, and one from my mother.

Here is some great information on genetic testing:

Open Original Shared Link

Thirty-five percent of the general population carry the Dq2 and Dq8 gene and only 1-4% of those will develop Celiac.

wow.. this is confusing to say the least. I keep trying to find a site that breaks this down in english :huh:

Your gene panel from Enterolabs, tells you that you MAY be predisposed to Celiac(among 35% of the general population), although there is no clear "Celiac" gene, only a predisposition to Celiac as well as other autoimmune conditions. The article I posted was pretty clear.

In english, if gluten bothers you, don't eat it. If it bothers you, you either have a gluten allergy, a gluten sensitivity/intolerance or perhaps Celiac. That's pretty much the bottom line, unless you want to try some conventional testing.

If going gluten free is an asset to your heath, continue on.

This is from your first post:

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0202

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0202

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

That is 2 copies of the same gene :)

ok , thank you for explaining that. I know it may sound stupid but that didn't make sense to me, I am sorry.

I don't mean to be confused. I read the article but I guess I wanted more of an explanation. But its okay.. thanks for all the help.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as 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/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
