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.

Top Brands of Gluten-Free Canned Chili
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
While it seems unlikely to contain intentional gluten ingredients--and based on the ingredients you provided, this canned Wendy's chili appears to be gluten-free, but with a very important caveat: it cannot be considered certified or guaranteed gluten-free due to the potential for cross-contamination and the ambiguous nature of "natural flavors." -

Guinness, can you drink it?
Scott Adams replied to Butch68's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I could not find the thread, but I recall at least one user who was drinking regular gluten beer daily but getting celiac blood tests done often (I think it was monthly) and doing a biopsy each year and all celiac disease tests were always negative. Everyone is different, but in general regular beer would be considered low gluten (not gluten-free!). I have... -

Gluten food test strips
Scott Adams replied to Borky's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Welcome to the forum! Do you mean this article, and if so, I don't think these are available yet. -
First of all, I want to wish you the very best of luck with your procedure today. It's completely understandable to feel a mix of apprehension and hope. Your proactiveness in researching and advocating for that endoscopy was incredibly smart; securing that formal diagnosis is crucial for both insurance and long-term health management. While it's natural to...

Patiently Waiting to See Results
Scott Adams replied to catsrlife's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point. -

Guinness, can you drink it?
Scott Adams replied to Butch68's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley... -

Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common: Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural...
