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 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.

Some IBD Patients Also Suffer from Non-celiac Gluten Sensitivity
Celiac.com 06/04/2015 - Some researchers feel that people who self report non-celiac gluten sensitivity (SR-NCGS) and also follow a gluten-free diet might actually fall within the spectrum of irritable bowel (IBS). Interestingly, recent reports suggest that large numbers of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) also follow a gluten-free diet.
A research team recently assessed the relationship between IBD and self-reported non-celiac gluten sensitivity (SR-NCGS). The team included I.Aziz, F. Branchi, K. Pearson, J. Priest, and D.S. Sanders. They are variously affiliated with the Department of Gastroenterology, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, Sheffield, United Kingdom; and the Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Unit in the Department of Pathophysiology and Transplantation...

How Solid is the Evidence for Non-celiac Gluten Sensitivity?
Celiac.com 05/15/2017 - For all the talk of studies touting evidence for non-celiac gluten sensitivity, the actual data don't stack up very well, according to an recent assessment by two researchers, whose results appear in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
In an effort to determine the accuracy of using a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to confirm diagnosis of non-celiac gluten sensitivity in patients who respond to a gluten-free diet, researchers Javier Molina-Infante, and Antonio Carroccio recently set out to assess data on a series of such studies. Both researchers are affiliated with the Department of Gastroenterology, Hospital Universitario San Pedro de Alcantara in Caceres, Spain.
For their study, the pair analyzed data from 10 separate double-blind,...

Researchers Look at Brain fog and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity
Celiac.com 02/01/2021 - Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) is poorly understood, particularly in terms of its neurological effects. A team of researchers looking into the matter first conducted a prospective postal survey to investigate its neurological presentation and symptom course. Based on the results of the survey, they conducted a brain MRI study to follow-up, and to note potential diagnostic biomarkers for future research.
The research team included Iain D. Croall, Nigel Hoggard, Imran Aziz, Marios Hadjivassiliou, and David S. Sanders. They are variously affiliated with the Department of Infection, Immunity & Cardiovascular Disease, University of Sheffield/INSIGENO, Sheffield, United Kingdom; the Academic Unit of Gastroenterology, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield T...

Can Serum Zonulin Help Diagnose Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity?
Celiac.com 04/20/2021 - Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is marked by intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms triggered by gluten-containing foods, but with no celiac disease or wheat allergy.
There are currently no known biomarkers to diagnose non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and the gold standard double-blind placebo-controlled gluten challenge is clinically impractical.
A team of researchers recently set out to investigate the role of serum zonulin as a diagnostic biomarker of NCGS and to develop a diagnostic algorithm.
The research team included Maria Raffaella Barbaro, Cesare Cremon, Antonio Maria Morselli-Labate, Antonio Di Sabatino, Paolo Giuffrida, Gino Roberto Corazza, Michele Di Stefano, Giacomo Caio, Giovanni Latella, Carolina Ciacci, Daniele Fuschi, M...

  New (possible) celiac diagnosis
  
  Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer. Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential...

  New (possible) celiac diagnosis
  
  My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo). So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours. He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect. He is scheduled for an endoscopy and...

  You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative...

  Gluten free beer ?
  
  In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

  Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would...
