This is very interesting. I am a researcher working on celiac disease in Norway. I have recently published a paper suggesting that DQ9 seems to predispose for celiac disease, based on studies from one single patient. Obviously investigation of more patients would be useful to confirm this association and how celiac disease manifests in this rare patient group.

Best regards,

Michael

Welcome to the board. I would be quite interested in this study. Do you have a link to it?

It seems this thread has gotten away a bit from the OP's question.

My advice, if you can, is get a celiac blood panel done while you are eating gluten. Expect it to be negative, but do it anyway.

Then, go gluten-free. Ipersonally feel no one is benefiting by eating it!

This thread is a couple years old and the OP has not been around since asking the original question.

Lol- teach me to look at the date and not just assume it is recent just because it got bumped up top!

I think everyone does that now and then. :)

Michael, there are some abstracts on pubmed about the japanese celiacs usually having DQ9, but that is because the japanese have so many DQ9. Of course you know that DQ9 and DQ7 differ from DQ8 by just one or two tiny things, base pairs or whatever.

I found the new DQ9 pubmed abstract

Evidence that HLA-DQ9 confers risk to celiac disease by presence of DQ9-restricted gluten-specific T cells.

Abstract

We describe the gluten T-cell response of a DR7DQ2/DR9DQ9 heterozygous celiac disease patient (CD555). Interestingly, this patient had T cells recognizing gluten in the context of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules of both haplotypes. For the DR9DQ9 haplotype, DQ9 was identified as the antigen-presenting molecule. As DQ9 carries aspartate at DQ β57 but is otherwise identical to DQ8 and not considered associated with celiac disease, we aimed to characterize this DQ9-restricted T-cell response in detail. By fractionation of pepsin-trypsin digested gliadin we identified an epitope stimulatory for several T-cell clones. This epitope was identical to an epitope (DQ8-glut-1) previously identified in DQ8 patients. In CD555, this was the dominant DQ9-restricted epitope, whereas no T-cell response was found toward two other DQ8-restricted epitopes. These findings correlated with peptide binding data demonstrating that this epitope bound better to DQ9 than the two other DQ8-restricted epitopes. Although glutamine to glutamate exchange at P9 improved binding of all three epitopes to DQ8, no such effect was observed for DQ9. The differential ability of DQ8 and DQ9 to harness a negatively charged anchor at P9 may result in fewer potential gluten epitopes in DQ9 patients. Our data further indicate that DQ9 is a susceptibility factor for celiac disease.

now what does this mean, it is about gluten and DQ2,2

michael appears to be lead author on that on as well, perhaps he would answer that question?

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
