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.

Lots of celiac symptoms but negative blood test? Need advice!

Many people with celiac disease don't have symptoms, so your doctor is correct to make this diagnosis based on your results. Did they refer you to get an endoscopy to confirm this? If so, you need to continue eating gluten until all tests are completed, otherwise you might get false-negative results. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each... -

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...

Is there any chance you have mold or mildew somewhere in your home? I've heard some horror stories about people who get major allergy and other health issues, and then discover black mold in their home.

10 years later, my celiac is progressing
Scott Adams replied to GardeningForHealth's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Good point, as I don't believe that sugar is good for anyone, and I avoid it. Eating too much can lead to imbalances in the gut microbiome which can lead to IBS-like symptoms. -
Feel free to share your blood test results here, and if you do include the reference ranges, because sometimes negative results aren't so negative (borderline readings are often just called "negative" by doctors, but elevated antibodies still must be explained). Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease...

It is interesting that B1 lowers your glucose levels. Benfotiamine is the fat soluble version, and:

What else can endoscopy detect
Scott Adams replied to normagain's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
It's not uncommon for individuals to suspect yeast overgrowth or candida, especially given the range of symptoms they can cause. While endoscopy is a valuable tool for examining the upper digestive tract and identifying certain conditions like reflux, ulcers, and inflammation, it may not directly visualize or diagnose conditions like SIBO (small intestinal... -

A & W Root beer gluten free?

Yes it is: -
That is interesting, because after I went gluten-free my nasal issues and allergies seemed to improve drastically. Is it possible you are still getting some gluten in your diet? This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

Legumes can be a source of wheat contamination, but I assume that you use versions labelled "gluten-free." -

You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.

Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free, that is, unless you are certain that gluten is the culprit and have decided not to eat it again. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.): -
