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.

Celiac.com 11/21/2025 - Celiac disease damages the small intestine through an abnormal immune response to gluten. A lifelong gluten-free diet is the current treatment, but many people continue to have symptoms or subtle tissue changes... -
Hopefully the food she eats away from home, especially at school, is 100% gluten-free. If you haven't checked in with the school directly about this, it might be worth a planned visit with their staff to make sure her food is safe.

While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that...

The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Latest Research
Your story is a testament to the critical importance of an early and accurate diagnosis. It's tough to read about what you had to endure, including multiple surgeries and hospitalizations, all while the root cause—celiac disease—remained undetected for so long. Your experience highlights the consequences of medical ignorance surrounding this condition and... -
Guinness, can you drink it?
Scott Adams replied to Butch68's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This is why Daura Damm can be a sponsor here--at 3ppm or less it is gluten-free, and it's doubtful that anyone with celiac disease would ever have issues with such levels. Some people may be reacting to the yeast in the beer, but I seriously doubt that such beers could trigger elevated antibodies or villi damage--the science says such levels won't trigger... -
I have to express some significant skepticism about the drclark cleansing programs you've mentioned. The claim that a specific, three-part parasite and organ cleanse is a universal solution for chronic health issues is a major red flag, as it oversimplifies the immense complexity of the human body and conditions like Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune...

Top Brands of Gluten-Free Canned Chili
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
While it seems unlikely to contain intentional gluten ingredients--and based on the ingredients you provided, this canned Wendy's chili appears to be gluten-free, but with a very important caveat: it cannot be considered certified or guaranteed gluten-free due to the potential for cross-contamination and the ambiguous nature of "natural flavors." -

Guinness, can you drink it?
Scott Adams replied to Butch68's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I could not find the thread, but I recall at least one user who was drinking regular gluten beer daily but getting celiac blood tests done often (I think it was monthly) and doing a biopsy each year and all celiac disease tests were always negative. Everyone is different, but in general regular beer would be considered low gluten (not gluten-free!). I have... -

Gluten food test strips
Scott Adams replied to Borky's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Welcome to the forum! Do you mean this article, and if so, I don't think these are available yet. -
First of all, I want to wish you the very best of luck with your procedure today. It's completely understandable to feel a mix of apprehension and hope. Your proactiveness in researching and advocating for that endoscopy was incredibly smart; securing that formal diagnosis is crucial for both insurance and long-term health management. While it's natural to...
