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.

    For what it's worth, at the time of my celiac disease diagnosis I was also diagnosed with H. Pylori and treated for it with antibiotics. The throat swelling sounds like an allergy that may not be associated with celiac disease--if you can recall the foods you ate before this reaction it might help you track down the culprit, but if you can't it might make...

    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...

    Do you eat out in restaurants? This is a common source of contamination. The first step for you would be to re-examine your diet to be sure that it is 100% gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

    If your reaction to gluten is this strong and obvious, do you really need a formal diagnosis? Why not just go gluten-free?

    Do you know the reference range for your test? It can be different depending on the lab that processed the test. 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...

    It sounds like you've been through quite a challenging journey, and you're handling it with great resilience! Here are a few things to keep in mind as you move forward: Since you're preparing for a definitive diagnosis, a gluten challenge (reintroducing gluten before testing) is necessary. Typically, it's recommended to consume around 1-2 slices of bread...

    I think potato chips can be fine depending on the oil used and the amount of salt on them, so if they help you gain weight you may want to keep them in your routine.

    I also had issues with severe neck and shoulder pain for years, so this may be a symptom of celiac disease. In case you end up screening negative for celiac disease, 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 s...

    Although Brach's Mellowcreme Pumpkins do not contain any gluten ingredients, they are made in a facility that processes wheat, so we removed them from the safe list, and they should only be on the unsafe list--thank you for pointing this out! https://www.brachs.com/products/pumpkins-mellowcreme-candy

    We've had others report reactions to hay, for example: I'm not sure if you can try wearing an N92 mask when doing this work, or try rinsing off your skin directly afterwards, but if neither work if might be best if you can avoid handling the hay.

    Welcome to the forum @Karen Rakhshan, this article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

    For you it sounds like this will be the case, but no two celiac diets are alike, and there is no "one size fits all" in this case. Another examples is how some celiacs choose to eat out at restaurants, while others never will.
  29. Scott Adams
    Welcome to the forum. This would be a personal choice that you would need to make. I eat many different products that don't necessarily have "gluten-free" on their label, for example potato chips, salsa, tortilla chips, etc, while other people won't eat such products. If "gluten-free" is on the label, and it is made in a facility that also processes wheat...
