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.

Iron loss and potential celiac.
Scott Adams replied to ThomasA55's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I agree that there is a strong case for studying broader celiac screening, especially because so many people remain undiagnosed for years while accumulating medical visits, nutrient deficiencies, bone problems, fertility issues, neurological symptoms, and other complications. Italy is already moving in this direction: its 2023 national law created a... -

Scott Adams replied to wellthatsfun's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
That is genuinely wonderful to read. A partner who takes your celiac disease seriously, changes clothes, bags contaminated work clothes, washes thoroughly, and still comes home wanting to make you a safe gluten-free meal is showing real love through action. It is such a good reminder that the right people do not make us feel like a burden; they adapt, care... -
Iron loss and potential celiac.
Scott Adams replied to ThomasA55's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The doctor who diagnosed me was close my age at the time, a bit older, but was just out of medical school where he was taught that celiac disease is very rare, and only around 1 in 2,500 - 5,000 people have it, and that it's mostly a childhood disease. It took us/him a few years to diagnose me, and afterwards he let me know that he had diagnosed many others... -

Is Canned Chili Gluten-Free? What You Need to Know Before You Eat
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Any company that includes "gluten-free" on their label would be subject to a very expensive recall if their products test over 20ppm, so there is a strong economic incentive to actually ensure that such products are below that limit. Bigger companies, especially, put protocols in place to make sure the products they label gluten-free are safe for celiacs... -
I hope there will emerge some elder care facilities that will advertise as celiac friendly, as some ship cruise lines have done, and take advantage of what is clearly an unmet need, and solid business niche.

This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Olmesartan is the ARB most strongly linked to sprue-like enteropathy, a condition that can closely mimic celiac disease with diarrhea, weight loss, villous atrophy, and often negative celiac blood tests. Some newer reports suggest this reaction may not be limited to olmesartan and could represent a possible ARB class effect, with cases reported for drugs... -

I don’t know how common this is with celiac disease specifically, but significant inflammation, weight changes, aging, genetics, and skin elasticity can all play a role. It may be worth talking with both your doctor and a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to see what options are realistic, from skin-tightening treatments to surgical approaches, ...

Thanks for sharing this recommendation — it’s always helpful to hear about restaurants that understand celiac disease and offer gluten-free options with some personal connection to the issue. The chicken with spinach and mozzarella over gluten-free penne sounds delicious, and it’s encouraging that they have both gluten-free pizza and a gluten-free menu, with...

They sound naturally gluten-free to me, but if you have a choice go with a type that includes "gluten-free" on their label.

Thank you for sharing this — it’s really encouraging to hear from someone who has come through such a difficult stretch and is now seeing clear improvement. Dermatitis herpetiformis can be so exhausting, especially when the itching and outbreaks just won’t fully settle, so it’s helpful for others to hear that Dapsone, careful monitoring, and staying the cou...
