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.

  1. Since GliadinX has been shown to break down the harmful part of gluten in the stomach it's possible it could help to keep antibody levels lower, but this is assuming that you are getting gluten in your diet, and each time you are taking them right before you eat. They should never be taken in order for you to eat regular gluten foods, only to avoid small...
  2. Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that? Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
  3. It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough...
  4. There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial...
  5. Celiac.com 10/13/2025 - Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition best known for causing patchy hair loss on the scalp and other areas of the body. Beyond its visible effects, researchers have suspected that alopecia areata may be connected...
  6. Celiac.com 10/11/2025 - Long before gluten-free baking had a name, almond confections were prized across the Mediterranean for their richness and keeping quality. From marzipan to amaretti, almonds have long stood in for wheat when grain...
  7. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...
  8. I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉
  9. While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility...
  10. This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "pot...
  11. Correct, the things listed in the article may mimic celiac-like or IBS-like symptoms, but would not cause the damage that gluten/gliadin does.
  12. Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially...
  13. Celiac.com 10/09/2025 - Oat cookies trace their roots to humble oatcakes baked across the British Isles, where oats thrived in cool, damp climates. As those traditions crossed the Atlantic, home bakers sweetened and softened the formula...
  14. I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.
  15. Celiac.com 10/08/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. When someone with celiac disease eats gluten, the immune system attacks the lining of the small intestine...
