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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
