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.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
