Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hi everyone, My dh and I got our test results back. We both have the DQ2 marker. We got tested because our 6 1/2 was dx through biopsy with cd 12/30/05. My ttg was 30, considered a strong positive, less than 20 would have been negative. My son's ttg was 115. My Gliadin IGA was less than 20 but my gliadin IGG was 24. DH's bloodwork all came back negative.. So... just trying to figure out what to do. I don't feel like I have many symptoms, occasionally achy joint pain, constipated but nothing that makes me feel like I can't function etc. I have been eating much less gluten since ds was dx... so am wondering whether the ttg level would have been higher. I told my sister in law last night and she said... well why would you do anything? You don't need to grow any more. DS has growth issues that's why he was tested. Should I get a biopsy? To confirm for sure? I read in one of the posts that the only reason why you would have elevated #'s would be cd or possiblity of lymphoma. I did have two scares with cancer twice in my life, ovarian tumor at 19 and colon polyps at 36 both pre cancerous. If both parents are have DQ2... what is the likelihood of children devloping cd? If my husband has DQ2 but no symptoms, should we inform his family (of which some have true cd symptoms) to get tested? Any suggestions about all of this is so appreciated. It is so confusing to me and now that I seem to have some positive results it's even more confusing since I really don't feel that bad.
