    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
  3. MoMof2Boyz
    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?
  7. MoMof2Boyz
    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.
  11. MoMof2Boyz
    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...
  13. MoMof2Boyz
    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...
  14. MoMof2Boyz
    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.
  15. MoMof2Boyz
    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!!
  16. MoMof2Boyz
    hm, I just had a colonoscopy done, and there wasn't any GI bleeding. Wondering if it could be Celiac...but...would a person with celiac respond to iron supplements while not on a gluten-free diet?
  17. MoMof2Boyz
    because of iron deficiency anemia. I"ve already tested negative for celiac, blood test and biopsy through an endoscopy. I was wondering, are samples normally taken with a colonoscopy or does the doc just look for visible abnormalities, ie, polyps etc?
  18. MoMof2Boyz
    I'm going to also suggest: lyme disease but not sure what would cause the warts on hands and feet-possibly an immune system problem??
  19. MoMof2Boyz
    Last blood test was done in Sept.(I am due for another one in Dec.) anyway, eosinophils weren't high but here's the results 4% (4-14%) eosinophil count 0.1 ( 0.0-0.6) I did have a biopsy in March to rule out EoE and the report only said squamous mucosa with features of gastroesophageal reflux and my GI doc told me I didn't have it. So it look...
  20. MoMof2Boyz
    Well I got the biopsy back late today so I will call tomorrow and ask for it to be explained more. So anyway, this is what it says on the biopsy report: Esophagus, Middle, biopsy Reactive squamous mucosa with rare intraepithelial eosinophil(focally, one eosinophil per high powerfield) The degree of eosinophilia does not favor eosinophilic esophagitis...
  21. MoMof2Boyz
    I"ll be getting a copy of the biopsy next week, so I will call when I get it. I"m just confused how they can say it's a food allergy
  22. MoMof2Boyz
    I understand that. but wouldn't you think my GI doc would have been able to tell during the endoscopy if my esophagus was swollen?..and nothing was said about that.
  23. MoMof2Boyz
    I had an endoscopy and had a biopsy for eosinophilic esophagitis because I've had so much trouble swallowing food/pills and my GI doc said my esophagus wasn't very strictured. I got a call from the nurse saying I didn't have EoE but it looks like I have a food allergy? So how can they tell?? Does anyone know??
  24. MoMof2Boyz
    Please make an appt. asap! You don't want to wait until you have a crisis to find out.
  25. MoMof2Boyz
    was the Lyme test completely negative?? nothing showe up like this... +, ++, +++, +/- or IND??
