Thanks Joyce! Your results from Prometheus were labeled just like mine...that's exactly what I was trying to confirm! I think I may also get the Enterolab genetic test too, since it seems they can detect the other gluten sensitivity genes that Prometheus doesn't test for. Thanks again!!

I was hoping someone would respond to me...maybe my questions in my first post were too detailed?? Or maybe I should have posted in a different category?? How about this...does anyone out there who has the DQ8 celiac gene have a copy of their Prometheus or Enterolab genetic results available to look at? Can you tell me exactly how your DQ8 gene...

I got my Prometheus test results yesterday and need some help from someone who is more familiar with genetic "language". My results were as follows: Alleles detected: DQ8 Heterozygous (DQB1*03/DQB2*0302) Ok, so I think I understand that "DQ8 Heterozygous" means I have 1 copy of the DQ8 celiac gene which I would have received from 1 of my parents....

Hi, I just took my first 2-capsule dose of Candex this morning. When you starting taking it, did you feel slightly nauseous and light-headed? Also, you said you scaled back your sugar intake...did you eventually completely eliminate all sugars or just reduce them? Thanks!

I live in Virginia. By the way, I was surfing different posts on this site, and read several of yours. A lot of what you wrote sounded so much like what I've been going through...especially the part about desperately wanting a definitive diagnosis but trying to get used to the fact that you might never get one. I swear if my IgG test results come back...

Hi, thanks for the response. My family doctor (an MD) sent me to an allergist for the IgG blood test. Unfortunately, the allergist did not tell me that I needed to be eating the foods I may be suspecting are causing my problems at the time they took the blood...UGH! I had only been gluten free for 2 weeks and dairy and soy free for 1 week prior to the...

Hi, I'm in a similar situation as you. I've been having test after test and keep being told that everything is fine. I'm anxiously awaiting my IgG test results on Nov 19th. I've been gluten free, soy free and dairy free for almost 3 weeks and have seen some improvement but am still dealing with heartburn and abdominal pain on most days. I'm pretty sure...

This is my first post, but I've been reading the topics on this forum for several weeks now. I'm hoping someone may have had a similar sm bowel biopsy result as mine. First, here's a bit of my history: I'm 39 and have been dealing with GI issues most of my life. I was diagnosed with IBS in my early-20s based upon my frequent diarrhea symptoms. For...
