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.

Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac
Scott Adams replied to CeliacPI's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
While lymphocytic colitis (LC) isn’t as frequently discussed as other celiac-related conditions, research does show a connection between the two, likely due to shared autoimmune mechanisms. Some people with celiac do develop microscopic colitis (including lymphocytic or collagenous types), so your husband isn’t alone in this. The finding of dysplasia add... -

What is Xiromed? I see that it is a generic manufacturer, but not a drug.

The site I posted earlier does include ALL ingredients, including ANY binders. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the...

Gluten free thyroid medications

Given your severe symptoms it sounds like you would be much better off going 100% gluten-free!

Your frustration and exhaustion are completely valid, and many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community can relate to the overwhelming confusion you're experiencing. You’re being pulled in different directions by medical advice that seems contradictory, and it’s heartbreaking that your efforts to feel better are met with so many setbacks. Positive TTG...

Am I celiac or not?
Scott Adams replied to somethinglikeolivia's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you look at the article that I shared you will notice that "The test is estimated to have a sensitivity of approximately 90%, which means that it correctly identifies 90% of people with celiac disease. It also has a high specificity of around 95%, which means that it correctly identifies 95% of people who do not have celiac disease," so your results indicate... -
It is a single study done on children within a single country in Europe, so it's results can't be projected onto the entire world for both adults and children, and over all ethnic groups in the world. The 1% figure is an approximation based on the results of many studies that have been done worldwide on both adults and children.

Am I celiac or not?
Scott Adams replied to somethinglikeolivia's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm unable to determine your situation--did you go gluten-free for a while before your endoscopy for celiac disease? If so, the results would not be accurate because you need to be eating lots of gluten daily for at least two weeks leading up to the procedure. Also, your strong TTG Antibodies IgA results do indicate celiac disease. This article might... -
You bring up a valid and important point. The persistent citation of the "1% of the global population" figure can indeed feel outdated, especially when newer, well-conducted studies like the one from Italy suggest that the actual prevalence—particularly in children—may be significantly higher. The Italian study by Elena Lionetti showing a 1.6% rate in scr...
