Enterolab Results, A Bit Confused On The Gene Info

Hi all,

I got my test results from Enterolab and would love to hear your take on the gene info which I'm finding a bit hard to understand. I think this means I'm negative for celiac but positive for gluten intolerance? If so that will be a relief. I was really worried about the celiac possibility. (I already have RA)

Also I'm shocked at the soy results. I had no idea I had issues with soy. :o I just did the test to be comprehensive. Since I'm lactose intolerant I use soymilk in everything. I just got to the point where I have vetted all my food for gluten and now I have to start all over again and check for soy. I'm so deflated! and exhausted!

At the same time I'm glad to see the tests do show a gluten insensitivity. If I had gone by the one (wrong) blood test result (negative) my doc took I'd be eating gluten today. I'm glad I stuck with the gluten free diet.

Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA: 14 Units

Fecal Anti-tissue Transglutaminase IgA: 5 Units

Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score: Less than 300 Units

Fecal Anti-casein (cow's milk) IgA: 9 Units

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1: 0501

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2: 0402

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 1,4 (Subtype 5,4)

Fecal Anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA: 7 Units

Fecal Anti-saccharomyces cerevisiae (dietary yeast) IgA: 5 Units

Fecal Anti-soy IgA: 18 Units

Thank you :)

I think you're right..it looks like you DO have a gluten sensitivity, hence the elevated antigliadin levels. However, you don't carry the celiac gene and your Anti-tissue Transglutaminase levels are NOT elevated, meaning you do not have celiac. (as far as I understand!)

Isn't that awful to be lactose intolerant and have a sensitivity to soy? I suspect I have a problem with soy, I'll be getting tested in the next few months hopefully. I'm also lactose intolerant, but I can tolerate a single serving of dairy a day, thankfully!

Hope you feel better soon, now that you know soy is a problem!

The elimination of soy will get easier. I was overwhelmed at first too but once I removed soy, I finally felt better! I have eliminated ALL soy such as soybean oil, soy lecithin anything soy! Sprectrum makes a good canola mayonnaise and Earth Balance has an awesome soy free butter spread that you can find at most health food stores now. I make my own salad dressings ect. You will find some info on the web that those with an allergy to soy can do soy lecithin and soybean oil but I am thinking that doesn't hold true to an intolerance. I get hives on my face with anything that has soybean oil. I'm hoping I can tolerate soy lecithin in the future (doesn't contain the soy protein) so that I can add some gluten free chocolate back in. Right now I do the enjoy life soyfree, dairyfree, & gluten free chocolate chips and candy bars, they are pretty good.

I am also lactose intolerant but can handle a little butter and hard cheeses as long as I don't over do it in one sitting.

I don't know much about gluten sensitive genes but others will help with that. Glad you have answers that will help you on the road to healing!

Thank you both for your responses - they mean a lot to me. It's nice to have 'company'!

It's funny, I was fully prepared for gluten intolerance or celiac results but not the soy intolerance. If I remember correctly the soy test was lumped in with eggs and yeast. I half expected to have an intolerance to yeast but it came back negative. Very glad I'm also negative on eggs.

This has thrown me for a loop. It does make sense though and I'm glad to have some answers which will help me get better.

I feel like I just made it through my gluten mourning period and wham! another food friend has died. Not ready for another wake and funeral!

Thanks for the tips on mayo and earth balance. It seemed like everything I pulled out of my fridge and cupboards last night had soy in it. Soybean oil and soy lecithin seem as prevalent in foods as much as gluten!

One more question. I have seen people describe themselves in posts or in their sigs by their gene info. Sometimes I see people say double or single DQ#. How do I transcribe the results below? Would I be a DQ1 or a DQ1,4? I'm not sure what the 1,4 (5,4) numbers mean, nor do I know what 501 and 402 refer to. I need a science degree!

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1: 0501

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2: 0402

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 1,4 (Subtype 5,4)

Thanks again :)

I'm not a scientist either but you would describe yourself as DQ 5 & DQ 4 you carry a single copy of each. If you had HLA-DQ 1,1 then you would carry a double copy. You get a gene from each parent. For me I have two celiac genes so both my parents have a celiac gene. Don't know which one is 2 or 8 since they won't get it checked out but when they complain about my eating habits, I say, hey you each gave me one! :D I'll leave the Allele to someone else smarter!

      Was a biopsy done when you had your gastroscopy? Concerning your anemia, are you B12 deficient? It's nearly impossible to get sufficient B12 if you are a vegetarian unless you take supplements.

Your posting presents a lot of information. But a couple of things I can respond to. One, celiac disease is diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy of the duodenum. So, pathology will need to weigh in. It's not diagnosed on gastroscopy. (At least, not as far as I know). Two, did you get blood tests for celiac disease? You will need to be eating gluten in order for those to be accurate. Three, where was the CT angiogram (of what)? I could go on and on, but thought I'd start there.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
