Your analysis makes sense. I think they picked out SH2B3 from that stretch of DNA partly on biological evidence. It codes for an adapter protein called Lnk that mediates cytokine receptor signaling. Lnk has also been implicated in Type 1 diabetes, and as we're well aware there is a propensity for people with Type 1 to also have celiac.

I loaded up genbank and looked at that region of the chromosome. It's hard to make any argument for ATXN2 involvement in celiac, particularly with the cytokine data in the paper. CUX2, FAM109A... who knows???

By the way, I'm sorry to be wandering off into geek-speak. I don't get to talk celiac science very often because it's not my main research. This is a rare indulgence so please forgive me and Jestgar. B)

I didn't think the ataxin had anything to do with celiac disease, it was just the other nearby gene with SNPs, although it did make me wonder about the frequent ataxia issues people experience with gluten intolerance. I'm too tired to think it through, but maybe it's one of those dragged along mutations and gluten intolerance doesn't directly lead to ataxia, but maybe the constant inflammation associated with the disease somehow triggers a polymorphic form of ATXN2....

And yes, thank you everyone for your indulgence. :)

I would pity them. To be that cynical is a sad way to live. They sound like they have hearts of stone. I'd rather be me than them, even with celiac.

I think it's cute! :lol:

Actually, it's great to have you genetic/ science geeks. My son has asked me several things about his genetic chances & I can tell him the things you say.

I too, am happy to listen to the geek speek. ;) As a neuroscientist by training, I am not a pro at the molecular biology, but I did make a transgenic mouse during my post doc years, so I can follow along somewhat and enjoy the experience.

Hey everyone!

I have an awesome update!

I was in the kitchen talking about how I think I accidently glutened myself because my stomach hurts and I'm feeling bloated, and the guy who made those comments walked in and asked if I have celiac disease. I looked him right in the eyes and said yes. Then I walked over to his desk and started talking to him about it and he had the nerve to say that whole modern medicine is what is keeping autoimmune diseases in existance, darwin, blah, blah...and I told him about the research suggesting otherwise. The look on his face was PRICELESS! I also added that on the positive side of my genetics is that I have pattern A cholesterol and genetically high HDL and that my family hasn't been affected by any heart problems and other than my mother, my family have all lived long lives. Then he said that he suffers from high cholesterol and that heart problems run in his family. And, of course, I DO NOT wish anything bad on him or his family...but it was nice to hear that mister so-called perfect isn't perfect after all. Maybe he shouldn't be talking about modern medicine and autoimmune diseases and focus on his own issues (that modern medicine helps).

Oh, and I'm no longer in the feeling sorry for myself frame of mind. I have felt so frinkin' awesome since going gluten free (except for today), that I don't care who knows I have celiac disease. :) And I love the trader joe's gluten free waffles. Man, they are so good! My only problem now is my skin. I am having major rash, itching and dry skin issues. Hopefully these will resolve soon.

Thank you everyone!!!

Great news! I'm glad to hear you're feeling awesome. You might even have helped your friend by opening his mind about cholesterol.

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
