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...- 8 comments

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:

Celiac or not??
Scott Adams replied to Jades Journey's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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... -
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...

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...

Tea Bags and Gluten
Scott Adams replied to Inkie's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -
Inconclusive results
Scott Adams replied to deanna1ynne's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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... -
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.

Medication
Scott Adams replied to Julie 911's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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... -

I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist.

I would only add that cross contamination with wheat may still be a possibility, so it's still best to seek out buckwheat that is labeled "gluten-free."

Potential celiac need advice
Scott Adams replied to Ben98's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks... -

Yes, and cross pollination would spread these modified genetics to non-GMO crops--putting the genie back in the bottle if something negative happens would be difficult.

Can You Develop Celiac Disease Later in Life? Adult-Onset Symptoms (+Video)
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Autumn 2025 Issue
Enzymes can break down gliadin, just not well enough yet to allow you to eat wheat pizza (but perhaps may work with trace amounts of cross contamination)...see comments below this article too: They are working on GMO wheat that would be safe for celiac disease...but it would be GMO (currently there are no commercially used GMO wheat varieties): -

It also may be time to switch doctors if they don't want to do any follow up after you contact them about this.
