Help Understanding Genetic Test Results

Please, if anyone can help me to understand these test results from genetic testing on my son:

Molecular Analysis of DQA1 Genotype:

0501 (HLA-DQ2) Gluten Sensitivity Positive: Yes

Molecular Analysis of DQB1 Genotype:

0201 (HLA-DQ2) Gluten Sensitivity Positive: Yes

0202 (HLA-DQ2) Gluten Sensitivity Positive: Yes

Genetic Analysis of your HLA-DQ genes reveals that you have three positive gene alleles for gene gluten sensitivity.

We had genetic testing done on him because I was diagnosed with celiac disease three months ago after 13 years of numerous gastro problesm. He doesn't have very many gastro issues other than being lactose intolerant. He does however have issues with gaining weight (very thin but eats like a horse!), brain fog, diagnosed as a child with ADD, canker sores, and fatigue. Based off the genetic testing, would it be prudent to go ahead and find a doctor to do the celiac blood testing panel? Thank you in advance for any help understanding the above genetic numbers! This board has been a blessing!

People with gluten intolerance almost always have the HLA-DQ2 and (or) DQ8 genetic markers. Absence of both of these makers indicated a very low chance of having Celiac or DH. Their presence indicated a greater potential of Celiac than for the general populace. Celiac panel blood test is a very good idea; make sure he is being glutened for some weeks before the test or he can get a false negative. I tested negative on all but my genetic tests (HLA-DQ8), but I was on gluten, and elimination of this nasty molecule cured my GI, mood, stiffness, and other problems. It is a hard choice to go gluten-free and follow the diet, but important to life.

Just out of curiosity, what company did your testing? I'm looking to get retested to see what is on the DQA and also to validate the other lab I used.

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't.

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
