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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
