Hi KimS-Thank you for your quick reply,
When you say NONE of the required genes are you talking about DQ2 and DQ8, the genes known to the traditional medical community? Or are you talking about the other lesser known genes DQ7, DQ3....etc.
I'm more or less interested in finding out if anyone has been tested for the Double DQB1 or DQ1 and told they were gluten sensitive by any other lab besides Enterolab. Some of the other commercial Genetic testing labs will comment on the DQ2 or DQ8 but- do they indicate the specific gene or just say sorry you've tested negative for the Celiac gene or gluten intolerance gene.
And yes, the gluten-free diet has been very successful in helping these particular women.
