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

This would definitely be an interesting study. We did an article on this a while back:

Hi Harry, do you have celiac disease? For those who have it, eating gluten can cause a wide variety of symptoms, some pretty severe, depending on the sensitivity level of the person. -

New diagnosis

This recipe was created by a scientist and posted years ago. I will admit I haven't made it, but it's also supposed to be quite good: -

I agree, it may sound like a step backwards, but is probably just reflecting the reality that most busy restaurants that serve wheat-based foods can't offer real safety to celiacs. Knowing this can help anyone when deciding to eat out at all--or for those who choose to--being very careful when ordering.

That sounds like really encouraging progress, and it is great that you are narrowing things down so carefully. It can be surprising how something like added iodine in a milk alternative might make a difference for some people with dermatitis herpetiformis-type symptoms, so your note may definitely help someone else who is still dealing with that last bit...

I think most people with celiac disease will recognize exactly what you mean here. It is not just “finding something gluten-free”; it is the repeated social cost of being the one who has to ask questions, decline food that was kindly offered, bring your own meal, wipe down surfaces, rewash utensils, and still risk getting sick from someone else’s honest mista...

Yes, some people with celiac disease do seem to deal with frequent infections, especially if they have ongoing inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, asthma/allergies, or another immune issue going on. Low vitamin D can also affect immune function, so it would be reasonable to ask your doctor to recheck vitamin D, iron/ferritin, B12, folate, zinc, and possibly...

Test interpretations
Scott Adams replied to MicG's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive...
