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.

Yes, there are some people with celiac disease who definitely react to non-gluten items, which doesn't mean they contain gluten, just that @Celiac Lynn has an additional food intolerance.

Yes! Chime in if you still can! -

My father also had Type 1 diabetes, plus a genetic marker passed to me for celiac disease. I agree, this is very interesting.

You’re partly right—non-celiac gluten sensitivity is generally considered independent of HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, meaning people can have it without carrying those genes. However, some individuals with non-celiac gluten sensitivity do still have one or both of those genes, so there’s some overlap. The key difference is that, unlike celiac disease, those genes...

This was an oversight, which we updated, thank you!

Is it celiac?
Scott Adams replied to Lintol's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Very good point! Total IGA should always be part of a blood test for celiac disease. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because... -

You’re definitely connecting some real dots here, and your thinking isn’t off base—but it’s important to separate what’s established from what’s still theoretical. There is good evidence that HIF-1α and hypoxia-related pathways are involved in inflammation and are elevated in celiac disease tissue . And separately, thiamine deficiency can push cells t...

A gluten challenge can be incredibly hard, especially when you’ve already experienced how much better you feel without gluten. It’s not just discomfort—it can affect your mood, energy, and ability to think clearly, so it makes sense that you’re questioning whether it’s worth continuing. The genetic test piece is important to clarify, because that’s wh...

What you’re describing actually comes up more often than people think, and you’re not alone in being in that “not a slam dunk, but not nothing either” category. Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes can be an early or mild sign of celiac disease, but they’re not specific to it—other things like infections, medications, or even non-celiac gluten sensitivity... -

It looks like the product is naturally gluten-free, as none of these are derived from wheat, barley, or rye.

So you've made many posts here on your personal quest to get an official diagnosis. Many here have made suggestions, but clearly we can't solve the problem for you. If you can't get the original medical records of your diagnosis, then you may need to do a gluten challenge and get re-tested, and you don't want to do that, perhaps it's time to let the issue...
