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 in 2014.
Today, Celiac.com remains his primary focus. To ensure unbiased information, the site does not sell products and is 100% advertiser supported.

Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to bui...

Fruits & Veggies
Scott Adams replied to Jordan Carlson's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
You are experiencing a remarkable recovery by addressing core nutrient deficiencies, yet you've uncovered a deeper, lifelong intolerance to fruits and vegetables that appears to be a distinct issue from celiac disease. Your experience points strongly toward a separate condition, likely Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) or a non-IgE food intolerance, such as salicylate... -
Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?
Scott Adams replied to yellowstone's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Your satiation is challenging and a common dilemma for those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity: distinguishing between a routine viral illness and a reaction to gluten exposure. The overlap in symptoms—fatigue, malaise, body aches, and general inflammation—makes it nearly impossible to tell them apart in the moment, especially with a h... -
Celiac Screening
Scott Adams replied to hjayne19's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Your situation highlights a difficult but critical crossroads in celiac diagnosis. While your positive blood test (a high TTG-IgA of 66.6) and dramatic improvement on a gluten-free diet strongly point to celiac disease, the gastroenterologist is following the formal protocol which requires an endoscopy/biopsy for official confirmation. This confirmation is... -

Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

Your experience of being medically dismissed for decades, despite a clear celiac diagnosis since 1994, is unacceptable. It is a tragic common thread in our community that the systemic failure to understand celiac disease leads to a cascade of other diagnoses—like SIBO, IBS, depression, and now the investigation of MS or meningioma—while the core autoimmune con...

Red meat is gluten-free, so I'm not sure why you would not be able to include that in your diet unless you had another health issue.

The type of wheat does not matter for the test--all wheat contains gluten. You need to eat lots of wheat daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is...

Approximately 30–40% of the U.S. population carries the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 genetic markers associated with celiac disease.

Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac
Scott Adams replied to Ginger38's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Speaking from experience, and as someone who was taking zinc in my multivitamins at the time of my outbreak, I would not rely on zinc or other supplements to prevent a shingles outbreak. That is what the new, extremely effective, 2 shot shingles vaccine is for, and this vaccine is very effective at preventing outbreaks. In my case I've not had shingles symptoms... -
