About Me
Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994. Faced with a critical lack of resources, he dedicated himself to becoming an expert on the condition to achieve his own recovery.
In 1995, he founded Celiac.com with a clear mission: to ensure no one would have to navigate celiac disease alone. The site has since grown into one of the oldest and most trusted patient-focused resources for celiac disease and the gluten-free lifestyle.
His work to advance awareness and support includes:
- Founding Celiac.com in 1995.
- Founding in 2002, and publishing the Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.
- Co-authoring with Dr. Ron Hoggan the book Cereal Killers.
- Founding The Gluten-Free Mall in 1998, which he later sold in 2014.
Today, Celiac.com remains his primary focus. To ensure unbiased information, the site does not sell products and is 100% advertiser supported.

Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a severely itchy skin condition that often starts abruptly, affecting the elbows, knees, buttocks, scalp, and back. It usually starts as little bumps that can become tiny blisters and then are usually scratched off. DH can occur in only one spot, but more often appears in several areas.
The condition is related to IgA deposits under the skin. These occur as a result of ingesting gluten. These deposits take a long time to clear up, even when the patient is on a gluten-free diet.
While most individuals with DH do not have obvious GI symptoms, almost all have some damage in their intestine. They have the potential for all of the nutritional complications of celiac disease. It is believed by some GI professionals that most DH patients do...

Celiac.com 02/01/2020 - Traditionally, gluten is defined as a cohesive, elastic protein that remains when starch is rinsed from wheat flour dough. Gluten is the stuff that makes bread soft and pliable. It's the stuff that makes wheat paste sticky. It's also what causes so much trouble for people with celiac disease. Here are some quick facts about gluten and gliadin.
Gluten is actually made up of many different proteins. During digestion, the gut breaks down both gliadin and glutenin proteins into smaller units, called peptides, polypeptides or peptide chains. These peptide chains are made up of strings of amino acids--very much like beads on a string.

Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling. My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast. I happened to be wearing... -

I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins. He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food. I only need to stop them for a couple of days. He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.- 1

- jessysgems replied to jessysgems's topic in Related Issues & Disorders3Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?
Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't. Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.- 1
