About Me
Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

Help with genetic testing
Scott Adams replied to Kirita's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain ... -

Living or working in environments where gluten exposure is a constant risk can be incredibly challenging, especially when neurological symptoms are involved.

Refractory celiac disease
Scott Adams replied to Grahamsnaturalworld's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
It’s incredibly frustrating when specialists don’t grasp the urgency of worsening symptoms, especially when neurological involvement is at play. For refractory celiac disease (RCD) diagnosis in Adelaide, your best bet is to seek out a gastroenterologist with specific expertise in complex celiac cases. Consider reaching out to: The Royal Adelaide Hos... -
Diagnosis confusion
Scott Adams replied to Hummer01's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Your blood test was not negative (TTG-IgA result - 4 where <4 negative), but looks borderline if above 4 is positive or weak positive, but you can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common: Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response... -

If you're looking for a gluten-free stool softener for post-surgery use, Docusate Sodium (Colace) is a widely recommended option, and many of its formulations are gluten-free.
