Genetic Testing

This is actually a question for a friend of mine who may have Celiac. She got her genetic test results back today but will not see a dr to go over them for another week. The results were: DQ2 negative and DQ8 positive, genetic risk 1:89 (moderate). Does anyone know what this means and if she may have the gene? Thanks so much!

She has DQ8, which is one of the celiac genes. Moderate risk means that her copy of DQ8 gives her more risk for celiac than the general population.

Possessing a specific gene does not insure development of Celiac. Thirty percent of the general population carry these genes and never trigger Celiac Disease.

We have a long way to go for genetic testing and reasons for the sudden unset of this disease.

Gene testing, blood testing, endoscopy and dietary results are a cumulative diagnostic result.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
