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.

Celiac getting dentures
Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top. Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects. Best of luck. There is other material, yet, very expensive.
