I'm a little confused and maybe someone can help me understand this  
better...in layman's terms please...

My two daughters had DNA testing done through Enterolab.

My 3 year old DOES NOT have my celiac gene, but does have TWO gluten  
sensitivity genes. Apparently one from me and one from her dad. I know  
these are pretty common in the general population.

My 13 week old DOES have my celiac gene and ONE gluten sensitivity gene.

So...what's the difference between celiac and gluten sensitivity? What  
I'm reading leads me to believe that both conditions can cause  
intestinal damage, etc. They sound like the same condition with  
different names. I originally thought that gluten sensitivity was akin  
to having lactose intolerance...makes you very uncomfortable but  
doesn't do any damage. Is that wrong?

Is it safe for me to assume that my 3 year old CANNOT develop celiac  
disease? What kind of symptoms should I watch her for in regard to  
gluten sensitivity?

Again, please keep this in layman's terms and avoid any lengthy DNA  
explanations...I must admit that my mind doesn't process all of that  
info very well and I tend to shut down when too much HLH and DQ stuff  
is involved. Way too scientific for my taste. I just want to know what  
to do with my girls now that I know what genes they carry.

Thanks everyone for the help!!!
