From what I've been reading, and that's a lot as I was just diagnosed, it takes three things to develop CD. The first thing required is the genes, which it would seem that you have considering you tested positive for one of the genes. I don't know what it means that you tested negative for one of them and positive for the other. Secondly, you have to be eating gluten. If you normally don't eat gluten, then it doesn't matter if you have CD or not. Thirdly, and this is the tricky part, you need a trigger. This is usually defined as an illness, surgery, severe emotional stress, child birth, or pregnancy among others. I don't know much yet, but there seems to be some confusion as to whether or not you have CD before the trigger opens the gate to full blown CD as some patients credit CD as the cause of various ailments they had before they felt sick in the way that led them to get tested for CD.
I hope that helps.
