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

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 Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.

      Thank you kindly for your response. I have since gotten the other type of bloods done and am awaiting results.
