I noticed you have your gluten sensitivity gene test results from Enterolab in your signature. I just got my results for the same test back yesterday. This might be a nosy question but.... What did they tell you about your results? My results were as follows:

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1: 0302

HLA-DQB1Molecular analysis, Allele 2: 0301

Serologic Equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,3 (Subtype 8,7)

The interpretation says since I have a Celiac gene and a gluten sensitivity gene that I have a stronger predisposition to develop problems with gluten. I have no idea what all the numbers mean. You are so knowledgeable about all things Celiac. Can you shed some light on what the numbers mean? Thank you!!

Hi Amy, Basically they told me the same thing that they told you except in my case I have 2 gluten senstive genes. I didn't learn my gene was considered a celiac related gene rather than a GI gene in other countries until I entered my genes, DQ9 (You are a DQ8 and DQ7) into a search engine and then looked at results. Note I do not even bother looking at Wikipedia results that come up as they IMHO are less than a reliable source for research. I personally would say that with one of the US recognized celiac related genes that doctors here would have no issues with calling you celiac. If I had been gene tested before I was diagnosed instead of 5 years later they would have given me an RA diagnosis. But by the time I was gene tested all my RA symptoms had thankfully gone into remission.

Nora is much more knowledgeable about the gene stuff than I am so hopefully she will read this and also give you some input.

Hi Amy,

We're HLA-DQ twins... I'm a DQ8/DQ7 too.

Like ravenwoodglass said, Wikipedia is a good place to start:

Open Original Shared Link

It seems like everything I read these days (about lupus, vasculitis, mast cell disorders, etc...) keeps pointing back to one of these genes. You can find a LOT of interesting tidbits through google.

I would LOVE to show my gene results to the doctor that did my blood test for Celiac. He pretty much said I couldn't have Celiac because I am not elderly and he brushed me off. My 9 year old son is not elderly either but he has biopsy proven Celiac. Go figure! Thank you so much for the information!

I would copy those gene results and send them to him marked personal and confidential or make an appointment and let him know. They can't learn if we don't teach them.

I made an appointment for Monday! I wonder if he will give me a diagnosis or send me on my way with nothing again? We shall see.....

I got my gene results last week too.

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1: 0201

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2: 0302

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 2,3 (Subtype 2,8)

I didn't know you had to be eating gluten to be tested properly so my tests were negative. My family doctor was very impressed that my symptoms 80% cleared up with a gluten free diet so diagnosed me on positive dietary response in March of 08. I still questioned and wondered if it was something else since I couldn't get over 80% better.

I feel better now with having both main celiac genes that I am on the right track and won't do gluten challenges EVER again.

Amy if your doctor doesn't diagnose you with celiac, I wouldn't worry about it. Your son is diagnosed and you have a main gene and you respond to the gluten free diet, if he doesn't see it than that is his ignorance!

Thanks Kathy. This is the same doctor that dx me with IBS 20 years ago. He has blown off my gastro issues my entire life. I am done with him. If he says anything I am not happy with I am going to request my entire health file and start seeing a different doctor. I know MUCH more about Celiac then I did one year ago when I got my blood test so I am prepared this time!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
