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.

Lots of different cancer types = lots of different symptoms: "Celiac patients were found to have higher risks of cancer in the pancreas, esophagus, colon, liver, and especially the small intestine." -

Celiac.com 10/01/2025 - For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, avoiding gluten is the foundation of treatment. However, many discover that even when they completely remove gluten from their diet, they still experience ongoing... -
Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about...

I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck! -
Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden...

What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested...

First, it's fantastic news that your diarrhea has resolved after a month—that is a huge and critical sign of healing, confirming that the gluten-free diet is starting to work. While it feels slow, this stabilization of your digestive system is the essential foundation upon which weight gain is built. Given the severity of your weight loss, dropping from 5...

If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

This is a very complex and difficult situation, and your intuition about a potential link to celiac disease is medically plausible. While Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is often triggered by infections, it can also be precipitated by other immune system events, including a significant gluten exposure in a person with celiac disease. The timeline you describe—...

The connection between celiac disease and thyroid disorders, particularly Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism, is well-established and statistically significant. Research indicates that individuals with celiac disease have a much higher prevalence of thyroid disease compared to the general population, with studies suggesting between 4-11% of celiacs...

While thiamine is crucial for health, the specific mechanisms linking it to autoimmunity and autism as you've stated are not supported by robust evidence and go far beyond the conclusions of the studies you mention. -
