so I know I have DQ1 subset 5,6. but is this only one gene or is it double DQ1? The reason I am asking is because i've seen some on this site list it as double DQ1., but then others have DQ1 5,5 for example and list that as double DQ1. So I am a little confused. Ok, if DQ1 5,6 is double dq1, then does that mean I got one gene from each parent and both of...

in case someone has the same..I called the lab that did the test and was told that it is DQ1 subset 5,6

would like some help understanding the rest. DQ2 is negative, no other info given. DQ8 negative then with DQ8 it lists DQA1*01 DB:01 and DQB1*05 AEMX:06 Does this mean DQ1 and DQ5? Thanks for any help deciphering!

Hello everyone! Fell off the wagon and have been eating gluten for months now. I've decided to have a biopsy when I have my endoscopy(for barret's esophagus) so I know i need to keep eating gluten anyway, my dh bought me the 23 and me dna kit and I got the results back. I am negative for HLA DQA1 however, I am heterozygous for DQ 2.5. Would that be...

Hi StephanieL, it's been a long time since I"ve had pumpkin seeds or pumpkin baked goods. I think I am going to buy the seeds(if I can find them!) and try them and see what happens. I do remember that I liked them so it's not like I'd buy them for nothing! Honestly, I don't think it's eczema, it just doesn't look like any of the pictures I"ve been looking...

ok, thanks! but is the rash an allergic reaction or intolerance?

I just started taking pumpkin oil again to help with my bladder. I took the oil (from capsules) a few months ago and didn't have a problem. I now have a rash on my forearms(the underside) same area on both arms . It looked like red lines all in a row on my arms. It didn't itch, but just stung a little. My arms didn't come into contact with anything and...

rash isn't as itchy today. Hopefully, this means it will be going away!

I wasn't completely gluten free when my iron levels started dropping so I wanted to test for celiac again because of my iron issues.The lab would only test TtG IgG and DGP I gG and those were negative. I"m still eating gluten because i want to see what my iron levels will be at my appt. next month, and if my doc feels I need a biopsy, I won't have to wait...

Thanks! I"ll check out those pics. I posted in this forum because the dh forum doesn't seem to be very active.

I don't know if it's DH or not, I can post pics later. It's all over the front of my thighs and some on the back of my thighs. There's a little bit on my forearms, palmside. I don't think it's folliculitis, I read this only appears in areas where there's hair, and there's no hair on that area of my forearms. The rash looks like little bumps/pimples and it...

IrishHeart, I'm just confused that my iron level is within range but the panel(transferrin, TIBC and %saturation indicate iron deficiency. cyclinglady, I only have milk in my coffee...1-2 cups a day. Otherwise I drink almond milk and don't eat a lot of products that have milk. I do understand how milk can affect absorption. My oldest ds was a huge milk...

so I had my iron level tested again. iron 79 ((59-158) ferritin 13 (13-400) transferrin and TIBC are high and %saturation are low. Hemoglobin and hematocrit are normal but hematocrit is at the very low end of the range. so the iron panel shows that I still have iron deficiency dispite taking an iron supplement everydayMy iron level has dropped since...

usually this can be either normal or high. if it's high, it indicates a B12 deficiency. But my MMA is low(below the end of the range) does anyone know anything about this? is it possible for celiac to cause this? I can't find anything about a low MMA, can only find stuff about it being high.

hm, well labs do show iron deficiency anemia(had the full iron panel done) but per my last blood test there are things that make me go hmmmmm....such as RDW being normal when in IDA it's usually high. Iwill talk to my doc about this at my next appt. thanks!!
