Thanx Tex, for previous instruction of how to cut & paste...& here I am!!

looks like I am not too bad compared with some of others' test results, but still need to eliminate gluten for sure...drat!! Have been gluten free with one or 2 slips...and that i have no malabsoprtion ...yet...was good news. read & tried to understand explanation for allele 1&2 and 0302 and 0602 ; also not clear what serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,1 and subtype 8,6 means... but at least the wait is over....and I have some things i understand and some I have no clue!!!
I am now on day 6 of last round of vanco....feeling almost normal or is that norman?

Hi Sunny,

It appears that you're sensitive to both gluten and casein. Did you test for any other foods?

The first gene listed is the second most common celiac gene, often referred to as HLA-DQ8, while the second is a non-celiac gene that predisposes to gluten sensitivity.

Would you mind if I added your gene test results to our "collection"? It's at:

Thanks for posting that information.

Thanks. I spent some time this afternoon organizing that data, and sprucing up the arrangement a bit, so that it's all presented on the same basis, (or as close to the same basis as I can get), so it should be a bit easier to read and compare, now.
