You wouldn't see them on yourself. You wouldn't pm yourself. I see them on you but not on me.

I'm not exactly sure of what you're asking. If you click on your name or the little green arrow to the right of it above your avatar, it'll pull up your profile and you can see the options.

EDIT: Sheesh, there's no way I could explain it better than Karen did!!! laugh.gif

Look under my dog pic here. See the envelope & the little " guy"? If you push the little envelope you can directly pm someone.

Brain fog + senior moments. Oy!

I have AAADD ---Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. I think I read somewhere that's a side effect of celiac.tongue.gif

cougie- your little guy has a negative or red dot when I look too!. Do we have a note to each other or something that we haven't read. I actually positived someone today so its not that. I'll go look at messages.

It has something to do with adding people as friends. I clicked on Karen's to see if it would tell me what it meant, and I think I added her as a friend.

ah. If you are already friends, you have a negative sign which means you'll remove that person as a friend if you click again.

I think I must have removed her the first time.

OK! I got it! I put my cursor over the red dot on Cougie & it said "remove friend". Since Cougie & I are already friends, we can't "friend" (green) each other we can only "unfriend" (red) . Try it Cougie. Unfriend me then see if the dot turns green.

The "friend" icon appears below your avatar. If you are currently friends with that member, the lower right corner will have a red minus sign, meaning remove friend. If you are not friends, you will see a green plus sign, meaning add friend.

Peter and I share the same birth year, which gives me the right to a bit of a tease. :lol::rolleyes:

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      HLA testing can definitely be confusing. Classic celiac disease risk is most strongly associated with having the full HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 heterodimer, which requires specific DQA1 and DQB1 genes working together. Your report shows you are negative for the common DQ2 and DQ8 combinations, but positive for DQB102, which is one component of the DQ2 pair. On its...

      Hello, @Aretaeus Cappadocia, My favorite source of B12 is liver.  😺 I react to nutritional yeast the same way as if I were glutened.  Casein, a protein in dairy, and nutritional yeast have protein segments that match certain antigenic protein segments in gluten.  The proteins in rice, corn (maize), and chicken meat have them as well.   Some people with Celiac might tolerate them without a problem, but I need to avoid them.  For those still having symptoms, cutting these out of our diet may improve symptoms.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @ainsleydale1700! First, it is very unlikely, given your genetic results, that you have celiac disease. But it is not a slam dunk. Second, there are some other reasons besides having celiac disease that your blood antibody testing was positive. There are some diseases, some medications and even (for some people) some foods (dairy, the protein "casein") that can cause elevated celiac blood antibody test scores. Usually, the other causes don't produce marginally high test scores and not super high ones. Having said that, by far, the most common reason for elevated tTG-IGA celiac antibody test scores (this is the most common test ordered by doctors when checking for celiac disease) is celiac disease itself. Please post back and list all celiac blood antibody tests that were done with their scores and with their reference ranges. Without the reference ranges for negative vs. positive we can't tell much because they vary from lab to lab. Third, and this is an terrible bum steer by your doc, for the biopsy results to be valid, you need to have been eating generous amounts of gluten up to the day of the procedure for several weeks.  Having said all that, it sounds most likely that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. The two share many common symptoms but NCGS is not autoimmune in nature and doesn't damage the lining of the small bowel. What symptoms do you have? Do you have any blood work that is out of norm like iron deficiency that would suggest celiac disease?

Classic celiac disease risk is most strongly associated with having the full HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 heterodimer, which requires specific DQA1 and DQB1 genes working together. Your report shows you are negative for the common DQ2 and DQ8 combinations, but positive for DQB102, which is one component of the DQ2 pair. On its own, DQB102 does not usually form the full DQ2 molecule most strongly linked to celiac disease, which is likely why your doctor said you do not carry the typical “celiac genes.” However, genetics are only part of the picture. A negative gene test makes celiac disease much less likely, but not absolutely impossible in rare cases. More importantly, both antibody testing and biopsy are only reliable when someone is actively eating gluten; being gluten-free for four years before testing can cause both bloodwork and intestinal biopsy to appear falsely negative. Given your positive antibodies and ongoing symptoms, it may be reasonable to seek clarification from a gastroenterologist experienced in celiac disease about whether proper gluten exposure was done before testing and whether additional evaluation is needed.

      I agree with your post and have had similar experiences. I'm commenting to add the suggestion of also using nutritional yeast as a supplement. It's a rich source of B vitamins and other nutrients, and some brands are further supplemented with additional B12. I sprinkle a modest amount in a variety of savory recipes.
