HI GuysI had some very interesting tests recently which showed I was genetically susceptible / predisposed to gluten intolerance and celiac disease:HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0302 ~ celiac disease HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0501 ~ gluten intolerance Which I have no doubt about now having.This test was performed from the comfort of my home by way of some samples on swabs of cotton buds, by a company called Enterolab.https://www.enterolab.com/StaticPages/TestInfo.aspx#gene_gluten This test was $150 and worth every cent. The traditional test to confirm celiac disease demands one does a gluten challenge first (east gluten for 6 weeks) followed by an endoscopy where they take 6 tissue samples. Being totally non invasive the genetic marker test is evidently more elegant and arguably more accurate with the high instance of false negatives using traditional tests. Most interestingly Enterolab suggest that many people who suffer with (so-called) auto immune disorders, suffer also with gluten intolerance and further state that gluten will exacerbate symptoms of most AI conditions.I also had another very interesting test carried out by a company in the UK called yorktest.com who checked me for over 100 different food intolerance's and found I reacted negatively to 22 food types, only 4 of which I was previously aware of, 14 of which I was consuming regularly.The third was blood tests for iron levels and anemia. These showed : blood iron was 33ug/100ml : normal range 50 to 180 Also that coefficient de saturation en Fer de la transferrine 10,8% : normal range 20 to 40%What I find odd is that I had NOT been checked before for these two markers even though last year I had a test for anemia and that did not reveal a problem even though I suspected I was anemic. Then they must have done other tests which did not reveal any problems because this is the first time the iron in my blood has been checked. My question is does this indicate I am anemic or just low on iron in the blood, my Dr seemed to dismiss it as not too serious as the total levels of iron proteines was 163,00 : normal range 30,00 to 450,00I am a little confused since the Dr explained that last year that these particular tests we not carried out because the total Iron in the system seemed ok (was this an oversight?) and he indicated that this low iron in the blood is not too serious? is this correct or am I technically anemic? I am now taking iron tablets. Thanks for any feedback.bleu
