I'm not sure I can answer re the actual gene test results but (1) a greater number of people have a genetic predisposition to coeliac disease than the number that develop it and (2) a lot of people who have coeliac or other gluten-related issues (eg poor absorption) are otherwise asymptomatic.

Not what you're looking for?
