I have seen this on other gluten free forums and thought it would be interesting and resourceful to do it here. If you've had a genetic test for celiac post your result and celiac diagnosis or symptoms. I'll start first:

Mom - DQ2.5/DQ2.2 - 48 years old female - positive blood work marsh 3B at biopsy

Myself- DQ2.2/DQ2.2 - 24 years old female - bloating and diarrhea

Rash biopsy DH or Lichen Planus (they aren't sure which but both autoimmune gluten reactions)

Too many symptoms to list but most severe being Osteomalacia. I have Iron defcient anemia, and critically low vitamin D, elevated Liver Enzymes etc....

Dd is DQ2.5 and DQ8. Husband has the same but it turned out type 1 diabetic in him Dd has hashis and celiac and eosinophilic esophagus. She has no GI symptoms at all. It's all internal. Jury is still out on type 1. I am praying going gluten free will stop that.

"views" ...means the number of people who read this post and this site(while surfing the internet)...not necessarily members who are "ignoring you and not responding", okay?

Those "numbers of views" mean nothing --in terms of people "unwilling to respond"... so, don't take it personally. :)

I have Double HLA- DQ2 (I am a 2.2, according to my genetic tests--which is a "rare" combo for celiac--about 1%)

I am a diagnosed celiac and I had dozens of symptoms (my story is well told on here, so I won't bore everyone again) and I was left UnDXed for over 35 years.

I've read your post, am diagnosed by positive celiac blood panel and positive biopsies but I don't have a freakin' clue what my genes are. I suspect there are others in the same position who've read your post.

Likewise my adult daughter is also celiac and obviously got at least one of my genes but she has no clue what they are either.

Nonetheless, your question is an interesting one for those who know what genes they have.

I've never been tested, and don't see the need for it.

IrishHeart, do you and/or your docs think that your severe symptoms are because of the heterozygos nature of your genes (hah! I wrote jeans first) or because of the 35 years? My genes are homozygous but I was undiagnosed for 30+ years.

Cyberprof, are you homozygous (two copies of DQ2.5) or heterozygous (one copy of DQ2.5) ?

I really never discussed it much with him after we saw the test results.

To be honest, his first priority was to get me straightened out. I had many deficiencies and he only ordered the genetic tests as part of the full follow up diagnostic package on me.

I requested them because my Dad had suffered some strange & horrible gastro symptoms and had pernicious anemia and dumped hematocrits which required blood transfusions for 8 years. We know now that he certainly was a celiac, but it's too late for him. My Mom also suffered many symptoms and once she saw how this thing tried to kill me, and then looked at the gene test results, taking into account her own health history, she went gluten-free (Her doctor thought she was very wise to do it and her many symptoms have resolved and she is the most amazingly healthy 85-year- old there is. :) ) I had also hoped it would encourage my siblings to be tested (as they have many AI diseases) but to no avail.

When I see him for my checkup in October, I'll ask him his thoughts.

Just adding to what others said...don't stress about the number of views vs. the number of replies, I think there are a lot of folks who just can't get the gene tests!

I am a DQ 2.2.

Lowest risk category but positive blood test. Vague non-classic symptoms...along with Hashimoto's disease.

A proud member of the "1% of the 1%" I guess.

I'm a double DQ9. You can see by my sig how much fun that was prediagnosis.

I just got genetic testing done a few days ago. Here are my results (been trying to figure out what they mean but it's so complicated):

DQA1 Genotype:

0505 (HLA-DQ2)

DQB1 Genotype:

0301 (HLA-DQ3)

0202 (HLA-DQ2)

Brief summary of my symptoms: I have many chronic fatigue symptoms, sleep apnea, mental fog, mild digestion problems, and am possibly hypothyroid (most of my immediate family members are hypothyroid).

Btw, I don't know if I'm gluten sensitive or not yet. I'm new to the gluten-free diet but haven't really noticed any improvement so far. I did have some kind of stool test done for celiac disease several years ago but it came back negative.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me.  Soon after diagnosis I suffered mystery symptoms of burning nerve pain, following two separate dermatomes, and one GP said he felt that I had contracted shingles without the rash aka zoster sine herpete.  Of course, without the rash, it's a difficult diagnosis to prove, but looking back I think he was completely spot on.  It was miserable and lasted about a year, which I gather is quite typical. For UK coeliacs reading this, it is worth having a conversation with your GP if you haven't been vaccinated against shingles yet, if you are immunosuppressed or over 50. I have just googled this quickly - it is a helpful summary which I unashamedly took from AI, short for time as I am this morning!   My apologies. In the UK, coeliac patients aren't automatically eligible for the shingles jab unless they're severely immunosuppressed or over the general age for vaccination (currently 50+) but Coeliac UK recommends discussing the vaccine with a GP due to potential splenic dysfunction, which can increase risk, even if not routine for all coeliacs. Eligibility hinges on specific criteria like weakened immunity (chemo, certain meds) or age, with the non-live Shingrix vaccine offered in two doses to those deemed high-risk, often starting from age 18 for the immunocompromised.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Tazfromoz · Posted

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Celiac Screening

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      By Churro · Posted

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.
