In addition to Hashimotos, I've had GPC under my eyelids and have been told that it is like an autoimmune response. Does anyone know of a connection between it and celiac?

Don't know about a connection, but I was also told I had it this summer right before I decided to go gluten free. Mine was a pretty mild case, but my symptoms seem to have gotten better. The eye doc told me it was likely caused by wearing contacts too long, which I had worn probably an average of 3 weeks longer than I should have. I must have lost brain cells when I had my baby, because I can never remember to change my contacts or give the dogs their heartworm meds on time :)

      Help with genetic testing

      By RMJ · Posted

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.

      Help with genetic testing

      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1  05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic equivalent 2,2

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I am taking thiamine hydrochloride. It's been over a week, and the burning seems to be gone. I am also taking a lower dose B complex with iron. Thank you so much for your help!

      No. It's over the counter. Readily available on Amazon. Good bio availability but shelf-life is not as good as thiamine mononitrate which is the most common form found in over the counter vitamin products.
