Ooo! Page 1 again!
We tested Tom back in February.
Molecular analysis: HLA-DQB1*0503, 0605
Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ1,1 (subtype 5,6)
This means he has two genes for gluten sensitivity (DQ1). Tom has neurological issues. He leans toward the constipated side and I don't think he'd ever get a "celiac" diagnosis. Removing gluten seems to have cleared up some brain fog for him. He seems more mature and we're seeing an increase in his developmental progress... all good things worth going gluten free. Someday, I plan to test Samantha and Claire and myself. Mr. Kay has no interest in testing, but we may be able to figure him out by process of elimination.
