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.

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.

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
