Observation

[Polly]

Have you noticed that the first 4 of us to post MRT results (Mary Beth, Gloria, Kari, and I) all have the double DQ genetic pattern? Kari has double DQ 2, the rest of us double DQ1. Double DQ genes definitely are associated with multiple food sensitivities, no?

I have double DQ genes (I thouhgt 3 but not 100% sure) and yes I have multilple food intolerances, the full "dr Fine" package was all positive Also I fit perfectly in the category "gut takes a long time to heal" and 'takes a long time to full remission". But knowing that it took you Polly and double DQ geners also a long time to finally get there, helps me going. In this way we all can be a example and inspiration for each other.

Harma,

You are correct. You do have double DQ3 genes, and one of them is the celiac gene, DQ8.

OK. It's been a while since I looked at my numbers. So do I have any significant "doubles"?

Nope, you're heterozygous, (DQ3,1), with no celiac genes.

Bring on the gluten!!!! :) (kidding of course)

Unfortunately, you appear to have 2 non-celiac genes that predispose to gluten sensitivity.
