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.

Malt vinegar
Scott Adams replied to HelenH's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes, unfortunately malt vinegar can definitely trigger a strong reaction in people with celiac disease. Malt vinegar is typically made from barley, which contains gluten, and unlike distilled white vinegar, it is not considered gluten-free. Even a small amount — especially if you’ve been strictly gluten-free for years — can cause a more intense reaction becau... -
A diagnosis of Refractory Celiac Disease Type 2 is a lot to absorb, especially if you feel like the severity wasn’t clearly communicated earlier. It’s understandable to feel shocked and frustrated. RCD Type 2 does require close specialist care, often with a gastroenterologist who has experience managing complex celiac cases, and sometimes coordination wit...

I’m so sorry you’ve been through all of that — that’s an incredibly complex history. While methotrexate is widely used at low weekly doses for autoimmune conditions, it can, in rare cases, cause serious gastrointestinal side effects, including ulceration, mucosal injury, or even perforation. That said, a spontaneous sigmoid rupture from methotrexate at 15 m...

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water
-
If you’re avoiding both gluten and oats, you’re right — a lot of “eczema” or “moisturizer with oat” products use oat-based ingredients (like colloidal oatmeal) that can be questionable for people with celiac or oat sensitivity unless the oats are certified gluten-free and tolerated. For truly gluten-free and oat-free moisturizers many people with sensitiv...

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water
Scott Adams replied to Known1's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I wonder what in RO water would cause major issues with your stomach? That seems strange, unless there is an issue with the system itself, like an installation issue, lack of changing the filter for a long time, etc. -
Isolated DGP-IgG elevation can be tricky. In children who are not IgA deficient and who repeatedly have negative tTG-IgA and normal biopsies, DGP-IgG alone is not very specific for celiac disease. It can sometimes be elevated due to other immune activity, transient infections, lab variability, or even non-celiac inflammatory conditions. The fact that it has...

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water
Scott Adams replied to Known1's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't recall seeing "many people here recommending RO water," but reverse osmosis (RO) water is water that has been purified by forcing it through a very fine membrane that removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, fluoride, nitrates, PFAS, and many other contaminants. It is one of the most thorough household filtration methods available and can be especially...
