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.

Slow healing?
Scott Adams replied to Eric.C's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
While it can be frustrating, slow histological healing on a strict gluten-free diet is not uncommon, even with normalized blood tests and symptom improvement. The fact that you've moved from Marsh 3b to 3a shows progress, which is positive. Complete mucosal healing can often take several years, especially in adults. Your excellent adherence and normal ttG... -
In another post I believe you mentioned that you had Covid-19, was this the reason you might have issues with red meat, or is it an allergy? People with celiac disease can generally eat red meat, as it is gluten-free.

I think you are referring to the article below, which we recently published. Having celiac disease does increase your odds a bit of getting other autoimmune diseases, and this is just a fact, but there is no reason for you to worry about this since it's out of your control, and the likelihood is still small.

PS - Your post also reminded me of this recent study where non-celiacs preferred coconut in GF cookies: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/nutrition/articles/10.3389/fnut.2025.1683571/abstract -
gluten free cookie recipes
Scott Adams replied to lmemsm's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Since I don't consider myself a "taster" on your level (or that of my wife and kids), I can't comment specifically on the off tastes you notice, but we've got a ton of variations on cookie recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-cookie-recipes/ as... -
No, allergies are different than celiac disease and you can have wheat allergy but not celiac disease and vice versa. Celiac disease has a genetic component, while, as far as we know, allergies may not.

In general if it is certified gluten-free serious steps are taken to avoid cross-contamination, but things can still happen in a shared facility, and gluten-free certification isn't a guarantee, as we've seen recently:

I had a variety of skin issues while growing up that were likely related to celiac disease, although I did not get full blown celiac disease until I was in my early 20's. I had topical dermatitis in certain areas, blepharitis (eyelids), and a patch of dermatitis herpetiformis on the back of my right-thumb area. I do believe that many people who have the genetic...

Dizziness after eating green beans?
Scott Adams replied to EndlessSummer's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
As already mentioned here, and based on your description, this sounds like a serious and specific reaction to green beans. While your prior allergy tests didn't flag legumes, it's possible to develop a new allergy at any time. The symptoms you describe—extreme dizziness, racing heart, sweating, and itching—are consistent with a systemic allergic response, no... -

It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent...
