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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
