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.
Today, Celiac.com remains his primary focus. To ensure unbiased information, the site does not sell products and is 100% advertiser supported.

Does your son have celiac disease? If not, it may make sense to screen him for it. -

A high C4c usually points to activation of the complement system, which is part of the immune response, but it is not specific to celiac disease by itself. It can sometimes be elevated with inflammation, infection, autoimmune activity, or other immune-system issues, so the meaning really depends on the full lab panel, symptoms, and why the test was ordered...

Having issues with chips
Scott Adams replied to kevert93's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Do you have any issues when you eat corn? It seems unlikely that two different corn tortilla chips that are marked as gluten-free would contain gluten. Have you eaten either of these in the past without issues, or is this reaction just on a recent bag? -

This would definitely be an interesting study. We did an article on this a while back:

Need Some Feedback Please
Scott Adams commented on glutenfreelexi's blog entry in GlutenFreeLexi's Blog
Hi Harry, do you have celiac disease? For those who have it, eating gluten can cause a wide variety of symptoms, some pretty severe, depending on the sensitivity level of the person. -

New diagnosis
Scott Adams replied to coeliacmamma's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
This recipe was created by a scientist and posted years ago. I will admit I haven't made it, but it's also supposed to be quite good: -

I agree, it may sound like a step backwards, but is probably just reflecting the reality that most busy restaurants that serve wheat-based foods can't offer real safety to celiacs. Knowing this can help anyone when deciding to eat out at all--or for those who choose to--being very careful when ordering.

That sounds like really encouraging progress, and it is great that you are narrowing things down so carefully. It can be surprising how something like added iodine in a milk alternative might make a difference for some people with dermatitis herpetiformis-type symptoms, so your note may definitely help someone else who is still dealing with that last bit...

I think most people with celiac disease will recognize exactly what you mean here. It is not just “finding something gluten-free”; it is the repeated social cost of being the one who has to ask questions, decline food that was kindly offered, bring your own meal, wipe down surfaces, rewash utensils, and still risk getting sick from someone else’s honest mista...
