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.

Let us know how things go.

In the thread I linked to above, one of our sponsors here sells gluten-free nuts, dried fruits, etc (a coupon that might work for you there is GF20) https://www.tierrafarm.com/

I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this, and what you’re describing is very real—even if other people can’t see it. Many kids and teens with celiac disease or other autoimmune conditions can have chronic joint and body pain, fatigue, and flares that come and go, which is exactly why it can look “fine one day and awful the next.” That doesn’t mean you’re...

Medications
Scott Adams replied to Jmartes71's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Don't let one bad apple spoil the bunch,. as they say. Many health care professionals are doing their jobs the best they can, so it's important to try to work with them in a respectful manner, if when they might be wrong about something. -

Yes, I have one of the older models and have tested many products with it. For me it seems like a valuable tool and I have used it to test foods that I eat regularly, which are naturally gluten-free, for example salsa, refried beans, etc.

Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

Scott Adams replied to wellthatsfun's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t... -
About Celiac Remission
Scott Adams commented on knitty kitty's blog entry in Thiamine Thiamine Thiamine
This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an... -
Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold...
