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.

The Addictive Nature of Gluten and How to Quit Eating It (+Video)
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Autumn 2025 Issue
Just today here someone was discussing their wish to cheat on their diet when they go to Italy: -
Gluten free stuff
Scott Adams replied to Tammy Pedler's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product... -

The Addictive Nature of Gluten and How to Quit Eating It (+Video)
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Autumn 2025 Issue
If you have celiac disease being gluten-free is essential, but this article is aimed at those in the initial stages of getting diagnosed and quitting gluten. For some people gluten cravings can be strong and last for years. Unfortunately 18% of celiacs polled by Celiac.com report cheating on their gluten-free diets. -

Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?
Scott Adams replied to jessysgems's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can... -

Italy is one of the easiest places to eat gluten-free, their celiac awareness is among the highest anywhere, so why cheat? Most celiacs don't have obvious symptoms, however, the risks are the same if they continue eating gluten. That said, GliadinX would be good to have on hand on such a trip to avoid cross contamination, but since you have celiac disease...

Scott Adams replied to Tammy Pedler's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If a product is labelled "gluten-free" it is considered to be safe for people with celiac disease (in the USA they need to test below 20 ppm). Some people prefer to eat only foods that are certified gluten-free, which are supposed to test below 10 ppm, however, they don't always test this low. -
Potatoes are gluten-free, and very healthy for most people. Some studies (in animals or in vitro) suggest that high concentrations of glycoalkaloids can disrupt cell membranes in the gut lining, potentially increasing intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”), however, in normal potato consumption, the levels are usually too low to cause this effect in humans unl...

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.

Since GliadinX has been shown to break down the harmful part of gluten in the stomach it's possible it could help to keep antibody levels lower, but this is assuming that you are getting gluten in your diet, and each time you are taking them right before you eat. They should never be taken in order for you to eat regular gluten foods, only to avoid small...

Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that? 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:

Celiac or not??
Scott Adams replied to Jades Journey's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough... -
There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial...

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...
