    I was diagnosed with FMS years ago. I've changed to a gluten free diet just 3 weeks and almost all FMS symptoms are gone. Of course I have other celiac problems, but I thank you so much, this has helped so much, I have had celiac spue - for years now. It has been horrible. I figured it out by experimenting for food allergies. I am also allergic to beef. My health is so much better that my life is dramatically changed. Your website is wonderful. Thank you.

    Scott Adams

    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:

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

    University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center
    The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center (UCCDC) was established to develop and coordinate patient services, research activities, medical education and public awareness initiatives in order to increase the rate of celiac diagnoses and improve the lives of patients in the Midwest. Our efforts are focused on the Chicago area, but every UCCDC program is created with the intention of making it portable so that other medical centers can implement similar programs with proven results.
    Created by Stefano Guandalini, M.D., an international expert on celiac disease, and Robin Steans, mother of a child with celiac disease, the UCCDC is a unique partnership between a dynamic external advisory board and a premier academic medical center. This endeavor is enhanced through a close working...

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted. Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food. Before the advent of TV dinners. Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper. Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body. See my blog. Click on my name to go to my page...
