It is virtually impossible to have celiac unless you carry the HLA gene. The antibodies can be negative but it would be highly unusual (if ever) to not have the gene.

Default Except--

--the genes may not only include the HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 variants that are quoted by most old-line researchers.

As Cara has documented in the Gluten File, European researchers, particularly Dr. Hadijvassiliou, have evidence pointing to other genetic configurations, particularly the HLA-DQ1 subtype, as predisposing towards gluten sensitivity, with or without frank celiac, and this may often manifest neurologically rather than gastrointestinally.

Default Help with interpreting test results

Hi
I recently had a gluten test done to see if I am allergic to gluten. The results are as follows:

> TTG IgA 0.70 0.00-10.0 U/mL
TTG IgA is the most sensitive and specific test for Celiac
disease (Gluten sensitivity). If there is still a high
degree of clinical suspicion in this patient, please exclude
IgA deficiency. In IgA deficient patients TTG IgG should be
done. The antigliadin and anti-endomycium antibodies
are also available if further testing is required.

Can someone please help with letting me know what the results mean.
Thanks
Jamie

Jamie, you do understand that celiac is not an allergy?
