About Me

Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

  1. I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It's not uncommon to have some discomfort or pain after an esophageal dilation procedure, especially if biopsies were taken. The fact that you're still struggling to drink liquids and experiencing pain a week later is concerning, though. Since you've already been to the hospital and had a CT scan that came back fine...
  2. Where did you hear that young adults with (untreated) celiac disease die within a year?! While it's possible that some people who are untreated could die if they continue eating gluten, the likelihood is still relatively low. In general, if someone with celiac disease goes 100% gluten-free, especially when they are younger, they can expect to have a...
  3. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
  4. Taylor Farms Pacific, a Tracy, Calif. establishment, is recalling approximately 19,976 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) apple walnut with chicken salad bowl products due to misbranding and undeclared wheat allergen, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product may contain wheat, a known allergen, ...
  5. I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've been facing with celiac disease, but it's great to hear that you've experienced some improvements and are taking proactive steps to manage your health. Fingernail issues can sometimes indicate deficiencies in certain nutrients, despite taking supplements. Since you're already on a regimen that includes vitamins...
  6. Welcome to the forum! If he is getting gluten in his diet, and the evidence points that way, it seems like the most likely place would be at his day care program, but you did not mention whether or not your household is gluten-free. If there is regular gluten foods in your home, it's possible he could be sneaking some from time to time. When he's at...
  7. It's difficult to say how long it took for you to reach this stage of damage, probably years, but now it's time to focus on recovery. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment...
  8. If you know that gluten causes your symptoms, then there is no need to be retested unless you need a formal diagnosis for some reason. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
  9. I just did a very thorough clean on all of my cooking equipment, dishes, utensils, etc., but everyone has different sensitivity levels. I live in a mixed house gluten vs. gluten-free, but we've managed to keep things safe for us who are gluten-free.
  10. The number of genes associated with celiac disease is more than two, but there are two main genes that are commonly tested for celiac disease susceptibility. These genes are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. HLA-DQ2: The majority of individuals with celiac disease (about 90-95%) carry the HLA-DQ2 gene. HLA-DQ8: Around 5-10% of individuals with celiac...
  11. It's understandable that you're concerned about gluten contamination, especially after being diagnosed with celiac disease. While high temperatures can help break down some proteins, including gluten, it's important to note that it may not completely eliminate the risk of cross-contamination, particularly on porous surfaces like grills or slow cookers. For...
  12. Determining the appropriate daily calorie intake for an individual requires considering various factors beyond age, gender, height, and weight, such as activity level, metabolic rate, and overall health. However, as a rough estimate, the average daily calorie requirement for a sedentary 22-year-old male who is 168 cm tall and weighs less than 50 kg could...

  14. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
