You share genetic results with 95% of confirmed celiac patients, according to a lit review I read. You are also very low in D (fat soluble vitamin, an indicator of malabsorption), and Iron (Iron deficiency anemia being super common in celiac as well). It's not a DIAGNOSIS per se, but a VERY STRONG INDICATION that you are celiac.

What I've been reading, if I understand correctly, is that dqa1, dqb1 combine to make HLA DQ2.5????

I'm not sure - just see the 1's in parentheses next to 2.5's....

I'll get a copy of the test. Don't know how the lab interprets it.

Yes, dqa1*0501/dqb1*0201 combine to make HLA-DQ2.5, which confers the highest genetic risk for celiac disease. I believe if I am interpreting your results correctly, you are homozygous for DQ2.5, not at all uncommon as I said. This means that you were lucky enough to inherit a copy of a celiac gene from both of your parents, ducky. Are you by chance of Western Irish or Northern European descent? At any rate, gluten free seems the way to be for you my dear. :D

Irish, Scot, English, Italian, German, French.

My ND just read the results over the phone, I go in Thursday to get the details - as in how many copies...but apparently those two were +.

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
