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.

I just want to mention that corn and wheat do both contain storage proteins (corn has zein, wheat has gliadin and other gluten proteins), and there are some small similarities in certain amino acid sequences. However, those similarities are not considered medically equivalent, and corn proteins do not trigger the autoimmune response of celiac disease in the...

So far, current research does not show that celiac disease directly “destroys” the gallbladder or routinely causes it to need removal. What we do know is that undiagnosed or untreated celiac disease can affect digestion in several ways, including changes in bile flow and fat absorption, which may increase the risk of gallstones in some people. That said, ga... -

Sugar intolerance 10 years into gluten-free diet

I can see why she’s worried, especially with a history of ovarian cysts, but it’s also very common for healing after a celiac diagnosis to take time. Even when someone is doing their best gluten-free, it can take months for inflammation to calm down, and bloating, abdominal pressure, and even back discomfort can flare during the adjustment period. The upc...

Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

That must have been really upsetting to discover, especially after relying on a product you believed was safe. Labeling can change at any time due to supplier shifts or shared equipment, so it’s always important to double-check packaging—even on products we’ve trusted for years. A “may contain wheat” statement usually indicates potential cross-contact risk rath...

It’s absolutely worth bringing all of this to your GI appointment. The 2013 CT note about thickening in the second and third portions of the duodenum is especially important, since that area is directly involved in celiac disease and other inflammatory conditions, even if it wasn’t followed up at the time. The weak positive HLA-B27, joint pain, stiffness, nu...

Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result
-
HLA testing can definitely be confusing. Classic celiac disease risk is most strongly associated with having the full HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 heterodimer, which requires specific DQA1 and DQB1 genes working together. Your report shows you are negative for the common DQ2 and DQ8 combinations, but positive for DQB102, which is one component of the DQ2 pair. On its...

Dried Chickpeas
Scott Adams replied to Thoughtidjoin's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If a package of dried chickpeas or lentils says “may contain” or “may have been cross contaminated,” that usually means they were processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, or rye. The concern is not gluten dissolved on the surface like dust that can simply be rinsed away, but small fragments of gluten-containing grains that may be mixed in duri... -
I think you're reading way too much into this study--it is a large population-based study, and when they do these they aim not to focus it on a particular smaller sub-set of the population, in fact, they take measures to be sure that doesn't happen.

The comments requested are very limited in scope, and I don't think this shotgun approach would be helpful, but that is just my 2 cents, for what it's worth.
