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.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/
