Hay!

What do you think about results? Are there any relationship with celiac disease?

HLA: DQ6(1), DQ9(3) (serological equivalent)

Allels:

HLA-DQB1*03:03:02

HLA-DQB1*06

Thanks! :)

I am a double DQ9 and had a lot of issues before diagnosis including severe neurological impact. In the US not all doctors consider it a celiac related gene, it is thought to be more associated with RA (which I was thought to have and is now in remission). In the Middle and Far East it is considered a celiac associated gene.

I don't know about the DQ6 but hopefully someone else will.

If you have symptoms even if you are negative on testing do give the diet a good strict try after all celiac related testing is done.

Thank you very much!

I am on gluten-free diet about 5 mounths. Diarrhea disappear and nausea reduced, but gastritis and reflux don't disappear. Somethimes I hard to breathe and have skin itching. Maybe I am intolerant on some other food too? I have a diarrhea, gastritis, reflux and nausea when I was a child too. I lost 22 lbs in last 6 mounth before diet. When I start gluten-free diet I don't lose any pounds but I can't to gain weight. Now I am 23 years old. What do you thing about this? :)

Have you tried eliminating soy and dairy for a bit? I am now okay with most dairy but soy is out for me for ever. It gives me horrible stomach pain. The skin issue, is it a rash or just a general itchiness? If it is a rash you may have DH in which case eliminating iodine for a time is usually needed to clear it up.

I eliminated dairy and that helped me, but soy I didn't. I will try. I am thinking about doing tests for intolerance on other food. That may help me. I have a general itchiness without rash. How long did the recovery in your case?

With the DH that resolved pretty quick once I dropped iodine. It took a while for the lesions to heal but new outbreaks stopped.

As far as my other recovery went it depended on the system. I haven't had a migraine since the day I went gluten free, unless glutened. My D stopped really quick, like within a couple weeks gluten-free. My sporatic severe stomach pain didn't stop until I dropped the soy completely. It was sporatic because I didn't eat it often and for a long time I thought it was CC in products that were gluten free. It took quite a while for me to realize what all the products had in common was soy. The neuro damage and arthritis took about 6 months to see improvement and the neuro damage wasn't completely resolved for years but I had very severe neuro impact that had been present since childhood.

I'm a DQ8 (a subgroup of DQ3 and main celiac gene) and a DQ6 ( a subgroup of DQ1 and predisposes for non-celiac sprue) This combination results in a worse celiac response. Gluten, actually fragments of gliadin a gluten protein, start off the celiac autoimmune reaction in DQ8 people and in DQ6 people the gluten flattens villi in the small intestine causing the non-celiac sprue.

What lab did the tests. I'd like to see how they dod the test and why it reads HLA-DQB1* 30:03:02. I'm not familiar with that way of reporting the assay results.

I know this is an older post but if you're still around, I would LOVE to know where you got this information...this is exactly what I was looking for. Both of my daughters have this genetic combination and they are both very sensitive to gluten but neither have an "official" diagnosis.

Oh my god - Same. I am DQ8/DQ6 but told that DQ6 was of no consequence. And my symptoms are life threatening...hmm - if this is true it could be the answer to all my questions!

it is the DQ1 that makes this more severe.

So DQ6 (or DQ1) makes the symptoms more severe? That would explain why my girls are so sensitive, why we have to have a completely gluten free house for them to not have any symptoms, and why they can't even tolerate most gluten free foods because of CC. I wish doctors would get on board with this.

there are even at least two-three forums with such people, and many are DQ1 over there.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
