- Wheat-bread crumbs in butter, jams, toaster, counter, etc.

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

Celiac.com 12/10/2000 - As reported in Ann Whelans September/October issue of Gluten-Free Living, the American Dietetic Association (ADA) has released the 6th edition of its Manual of Clinical Dietetics, which offers revised guidelines for the treatment of celiac disease. This manual is currently used by hospitals and doctors all over North America, and represents the most up-to-date source of information with regard to the dietary treatment of various illnesses. The new standards set in this publication conform more closely with current international standards. Included on their safe list are items that have been on Celiac.coms safe list for over five years, including: amaranth, buckwheat, distilled vinegar (no matter what its source), distilled alcoholic beverages (including...

Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up
KnittyKitty, quite agree, more tests should be standard, mandatory even, but they simply are not in the UK. Younger people seem to be tested more older people. Limited funds perhaps, its not right and would be vehemently denied by the-powers-that-be, but there you are. More and more I've found that as I get older I need to do more of the detective... -

Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up
Oh wow, I also have vitiligo on my hands and just in the last few days (when I have been brave enough to actually look at my skin now it's a bit better) on my feet a bit. A derm years ago noticed it and said 'stress', I thought probably topical steroid use but what you have written, fits. -

@suek54, Testing for nutritional deficiencies is considered part of proper follow up care for those with Celiac Disease and Dermatitis Herpetiformis. The malabsorption of nutrients is common in both. The problem is doctors don't know much about nutrition. Doctors aren't required to take many hours of instruction in nutrition. They are taught... -

Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up
Hi KnittyKitty, Like Belle I have read all your info with great interest and made notes to do a bit of research. It really is a minefield isn't it? Im already on that autoimmune bandwagon you mention - vitiligo, premature ovarian failure (at 39), hypothyroidism, Addison's and now dermatitis herpetiformis. I'm stopping there, any more would just... -

Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up
@BelleDeJour, The genetics are fascinating. I'm very curious about what your genetic test would show. My dad was a smoker, too. Tobacco acts as an antihistamine. Histamine levels increase in the immune response to gluten. My mother had headaches, gastro symptoms, and thyroid problems. She developed nodules and had to have her thyroid removed...
