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.

HLA testing can definitely be confusing. Classic celiac disease risk is most strongly associated with having the full HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 heterodimer, which requires specific DQA1 and DQB1 genes working together. Your report shows you are negative for the common DQ2 and DQ8 combinations, but positive for DQB102, which is one component of the DQ2 pair. On its...

Dried Chickpeas
Scott Adams replied to Thoughtidjoin's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If a package of dried chickpeas or lentils says “may contain” or “may have been cross contaminated,” that usually means they were processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, or rye. The concern is not gluten dissolved on the surface like dust that can simply be rinsed away, but small fragments of gluten-containing grains that may be mixed in duri... -
I think you're reading way too much into this study--it is a large population-based study, and when they do these they aim not to focus it on a particular smaller sub-set of the population, in fact, they take measures to be sure that doesn't happen.

Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

The comments requested are very limited in scope, and I don't think this shotgun approach would be helpful, but that is just my 2 cents, for what it's worth.

Welcome @LifeOfBryan, do you have celiac disease, and are you currently on a gluten-free diet? Currently this is still the only treatment, even though there are various medical treatment approaches in the works.

Welcome, and it is overwhelming at first, but it sounds like you are on the right track. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

My advice on those making comments: keep the as short and succinct as possible. Stick to the main point, which is that any gluten in the product, including that from wheat, rye, barely, and perhaps oats (~10% of celiacs cannot tolerate avenin), needs to be disclosed on the ingredient label.

Vit K2 (MK7) also helps prevent calcium buildup (arterial sclerosis) in arteries. I added it last year to my daily vitamin intake. NOTE: Vitamin K: Excess vitamin K from supplements can interfere with blood thinning medications and cause issues in some individuals.

There has always been a ZERO gluten down to the lowest possible level we can test minority, and currently there is a strong push for <10ppm as a standard. I fully understand why people might feel this way, but perhaps they need to be given a questionnaire where they also answer questions about how much they are willing to pay for a loaf of gluten-free...

This isn't just about the cost of gluten-free testing, and it's more about the overall costs associated with everyone in the food an ingredient supply chain being able to maintain such low levels, which is quite expensive. Just look at the current cost of gluten-free foods--change the laws and cut the level in half--10 ppm--how can food manufacturers pass...
