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.

Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary... -

That result shows you carry the HLA-DQ2 gene, which is one of the main genetic markers associated with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. It doesn’t confirm celiac on its own, but it does mean your body has the genetic potential to react to gluten—so your symptoms and sensitivity are definitely worth taking seriously.

Social rejection because of Celiac

It's fair for you to draw such a line after providing an kind explanation to them which they will hopefully understand. It's too bad that some people still won't understand. -

Celiac disease really does expose how much ignorance and bad assumptions people carry about food, weight, and chronic illness, and none of that is your fault. It is encouraging that you have found at least one truly understanding friend, because the right people do make a huge difference. Sometimes losing people who refuse to learn clears space for better... -

That sounds serious, and with hypoglycemia, ketones in the urine, and ongoing weight loss, this is really something that needs prompt medical attention rather than home advice alone. Juice, fruit, and honey may give a short-term sugar boost, but they do not address the underlying cause of continued weight loss and ketones, especially if malabsorption is involved...

Plain popcorn kernels are naturally gluten-free, so for most people they are usually considered a low-risk option compared with flavored microwave popcorn or packaged snack mixes. The bigger issue is not the corn itself, but possible cross-contact during processing, packaging, or repacking, especially with store bulk bins or brands that handle other grain...

Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this...

Thank you for sharing, it's great to know that there is an organization set up to help celiacs in need of gluten-free food.
