  4. The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain ...

  10. Living or working in environments where gluten exposure is a constant risk can be incredibly challenging, especially when neurological symptoms are involved.

  11. It’s incredibly frustrating when specialists don’t grasp the urgency of worsening symptoms, especially when neurological involvement is at play. For refractory celiac disease (RCD) diagnosis in Adelaide, your best bet is to seek out a gastroenterologist with specific expertise in complex celiac cases. Consider reaching out to: The Royal Adelaide Hos...
  12. Your blood test was not negative (TTG-IgA result - 4 where <4 negative), but looks borderline if above 4 is positive or weak positive, but you can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common: Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response...

  16. Sorry to hear that you got glutened! Thanks for sharing, and I hope the GliadinX saved you more misery with some of your other meals.
  17. If possible find quinoa with a gluten-free label--when grown in Peru or Ecuador it is far less likely to have wheat contamination. Canada increasingly is producing more quinoa, and when grown there it the likelihood of wheat contamination is higher.

  24. Your experience highlights a common frustration in celiac disease diagnosis—discrepancies between lab results, biopsy findings, and clinical symptoms.
