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.

Gluten intolerance often presents itself in ways unexpected, including several common skin conditions. Ranging in severity from dermatitis herpetiformis to dry skin, avoiding gluten may have more to do with your plaguing skin concerns than you imagined.
Here are some common dermatological concerns associated with celiac disease:
Dermatitits Herpetiformis—This painful, blistery condition can be very stressful, especially when misdiagnosed. An inflamed, itchy rash, dermatitis herpetiformis begins as tiny white filled blisters or red spots around hair follicles. Trying to hide or disguise DH, as well as trying to treat it when misdiagnosed can be incredibly stressful for a person. Eczema—Eating a gluten-free diet is becoming an increasingly popular mode of treatment for eczema...

Celiac.com 03/07/2011 - Although the HLA-DQ locus is clearly the strongest genetic factor influencing the development of celiac disease, it is certainly possible that other genes play supporting roles. Identifying these genes could help shed light on why certain genetically susceptible individuals develop celiac while others can happily (and healthily) eat gluten.
NALP1 and NALP3 are genes that encode proteins involved in assembling the inflammasome, which is exactly what it sounds like – a complex of proteins that promotes inflammation. Gain-of function mutations – those that render the protein perpetually active, rather than responsive to activating signals – in NALP3 are known to cause autoinflammatory diseases, and NALP1 polymorphisms have been associated with the autoimmune disea...

Celiac.com 08/16/2019 - A recent study looked at nine possible factors in children that might contribute to the development of celiac disease later in life. The study found a connection between skim milk consumption, and vitamin D drop use for more than 3 months, and later development of celiac disease. It also found evidence to support earlier data that early life exposure to antibiotics and early life infection, especially ear infection, are also associated with the development of celiac disease in children.

This study and several others point to the importance of the following risk factors in the development of celiac disease. Other studies have found factors that may contribute to celiac disease.

Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster. -

High DGP-A with normal IGA
I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in. -

GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy
I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet. -

GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy
It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
