  1. You are welcome! Please keep us updated. It is so good to hear of happy things happening to great Celiacs
  2. Ok, I finally think I had a lightbulb I owe this to Andrea's PM, so a HUGE thank you. Something you wrote just shifted my thought process and I get it....I had the answer posted in front of me (from the wikipedia link, go figure, that I posted). HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0302 which is HLA-DQ3, which split into other alleles, and...
  3. Lynne, Happy to see you. We are all thinking of you and pulling for you. I can sense a rainbow coming! Love, Laura
  4. Open Original Shared Link check it out
  5. i've had both and like them both
  6. I'm going to be very blunt and offer up that I don't fully understand. I think I'm going to be calling enterolab again. my full one: HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0302 HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0501 Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,1 (Subtype 8,5) HLA gene analysis reveals that you have one of the main genes...
  7. rachel: I'm working on it, and get back to you asap. i know there are numerous people on here who have misinterpreted their results because of the way they are presented on enterolab's results page....that being said, I'm not saying you have or haven't, haha!
  8. thank you for clarifying, jestgar. that is the one point that i didn't copy directly out of the book and look what it got me "95% of patients with celiac disease have hladq2 and most of the remaining 5% have HLA-DQ8" (hence, not all, like Jestgar noted) and, the thing is, i knew this...i have written before about how these two genes don't completely...
  9. ok ladies, help me out : (andrea, i was tested by enterolab, so here are my results) i have: HLA-DQB1*0302 (which is commonly referred to as HLA-DQ8, a celiac gene) and HLA-DQB1*0501 (which I cant quite figure out)....so which one is this? help a girl out is that dq1? found this-thought it was interesting: (on wikipedia) Note on...
  10. https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-41106612180.6c https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-41106612180.6c distilled vinegar IS gluten free, as defined by the american dietetic association. i wonder if hunts is saying that to cover themselves. richard-lovegrov-can you chime in here?
  11. there are various reports out on the actual predominance of the genes in the population. But, they are all pretty similar and point to the fact that identified, classic Celiac genes (dq2 and 8) are common. sorry to re-post this from another thread, but this reference is from 2006 (see the title of book in my signature): Dr. Green writes about the genetics...
  12. just wanted to say goodmorning.
  13. Congratulations! What an exciting time for you and your family I don't have much to add to what you are doing, but I'm sure some of the mothers or recently pregnant mothers will chime in. There have been quite a few threads on here recently about pregnancy....what a happy thing! I have two pieces of advice: the book mentioned in my signature, because...
  14. amber, your doctor is giving you incorrect information. one week will not be enough to rule OUT celiac. if you test positive, then you have it (and will probably be underestimated). however, if you test negative, you can't say that you don't have it. have you had positive bloodwork? Laura
  15. Ellen, i am sorry you are going through all of that. I honestly don't know anything about the computer chip, I am sorry I hope it is "resolved" soon though. I would definitely call on Monday to discuss this...and make sure they "get it" and don't blow you off! Do you have a good doctor who knows about EGID/EOS/EE? if you have ee or another type...
  16. So, how does DQ8 fit in...I am a DQ8. I don't have DQ2, but I don't know if I have DQ1. anyone, anyone?
  17. well, even if they are "only" doing an endoscopy, you need to specifically request that they take multiple biopsies in multiple places in his esophagus, stomach, and small intestine (they can do all through an EGD). bad news....if the tests are negative, it doesn't mean that it rules out EGIDs since he has many of the allergens out. (I am in the same...
  18. by the way, we are having a convo on EGIDs in another thread...wanted to make sure you wonderful ladies saw it. I posted a ton of links. Open Original Shared Link V: You KNOW that I value your allergy food opinions to a great extent. you have personally helped me a lot. but, egids are much more complicated than "just" (and noticed I put it in quotes...
  19. Lisa's assessment is correct. Also, the FDA mandates labeling laws, beyond just the 8 main allergens. If something is 100% pure, then it just says "Cornstarch" (Or, "SUGAR" or, "ROSEMARY") and can say it on the front, etc. It doesn't have to specifically say Ingredients: Cornstarch. But, once another ingredient is added, then they have to list...
