About Me
Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

Damage after 13 years gluten free
-
Your frustration is completely understandable—after 13 years of strict gluten-free living and mostly normal antibody levels, it’s disheartening to still see biopsy evidence of lingering damage, especially without clear guidance from your GI. The subtle improvements (like "focal" vs. "patchy" changes) might suggest some healing, but the persistent villous blu...

Scott Adams replied to Rebeccaj's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Navigating a gluten-filled household when you're the only one with celiac can be tough—especially with airborne flour or cross-contamination risks. Here are some strategies that help: Dedicated GF Zones: Keep a separate prep area, toaster, and utensils just for you. Some families even use color-coded kitchen tools to avoid mix-ups. Cook First: ... -
Symptoms - Ulcers & Cough
Scott Adams replied to BlakeAlex's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It sounds like you’re taking proactive steps toward healing, which is great—but it’s frustrating when symptoms like mouth ulcers and throat irritation flare up again despite your efforts. Those sores and cough can definitely be linked to celiac, often from accidental gluten exposure or lingering inflammation. Even tiny amounts of gluten can trigger them,... -
Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?
Scott Adams replied to MagsM's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
In silent celiac disease there is damage, but your doctor does not seem to realize that many people have silent celiac disease with little or no obvious symptoms. For those with this condition the health risks are the same as those who have "classic" celiac disease. -
Your journey with gluten sensitivity and celiac disease sounds incredibly challenging, especially after decades of managing symptoms that were misunderstood or overlooked. It’s frustrating how long it took for proper awareness and diagnosis to emerge, leaving you to deal with the physical and emotional toll of dermatitis herpetiformis and other severe reactions. ...

Gluten-Free Chicken Enchiladas with Homemade Corn Tortillas
Scott Adams posted an article in Mexican & Spanish
Celiac.com 06/28/2025 - Few dishes capture the soul of Mexican home cooking like enchiladas — tender tortillas wrapped around savory fillings, bathed in rich sauces, and baked to perfection. Originating from Aztec times, enchiladas were f... -

Pepsid alternative
Scott Adams replied to milana's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!! -

Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s a...

It’s scary how hidden gluten can be—even in non-food products like hair care! Your experience is a great reminder that topical products with gluten can cause systemic reactions in some people with celiac disease, especially if they’re accidentally ingested (like when shampoo runs down your face). While not everyone reacts to external exposure, your sympt...

It’s possible—though not extremely common—to develop a wheat allergy in addition to celiac disease. While celiac is an autoimmune reaction to gluten, a wheat allergy is an IgE-mediated response to wheat proteins, which can cause allergic symptoms like hives, swelling, or even anaphylaxis. Your recent anaphylactic reaction strongly suggests a true wheat aller...

Congratulations on the new qualification as a Nutrition Coach. Can you tell me if this is the same qualification as a registered dietitian?

It sounds like you’re being incredibly diligent with your gluten-free routine, and I understand how stressful it can be—especially when you’re asymptomatic and have no clear way to confirm exposure. The uncertainty is tough to manage, but you’re doing the right thing by being cautious. Your concern about cross-contamination from the fridge handle or chee...
