There is no direct evidence that AlgaeCal causes elevated coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores or significantly raises cholesterol levels. However, excessive calcium supplementation—especially without adequate vitamin K2 (which helps direct calcium to bones rather than arteries)—could theoretically contribute to vascular calcification over time, particularly in ...

High school and starting a 504plan in FLORIDA
Scott Adams replied to Ballerinagirl4's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Navigating a new diagnosis and setting up a 504 plan in Florida can feel overwhelming, but you’re taking such an important step for your daughter! Common accommodations for students with conditions like celiac or gluten sensitivity include unrestricted bathroom access (with no arbitrary limits), permission to leave class or school abruptly if symptoms flare, ... -

Confusion about my son's results
Scott Adams replied to lizzie42's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests... -

Scott Adams posted an article in Italian
Celiac.com 05/09/2025 - Zucchini noodles, affectionately known as "zoodles," trace their roots to the inventive spirit of low-carb and gluten-free cooking. While traditional pasta has long been a staple of Italian cuisine, the modern shift... -
I thought I'd share this article about recent findings that not enough gluten is transmitted during kissing to be concerned about: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1082120 What do you think?

The article's focus is not on how to test for celiac disease, but the difference between celiac disease and NCGS. 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:

Science moves forward on the backs of past studies and research, thus all studies are typically published in peer reviewed journals. For progress in any field to continue published research is very important. Unfortunately sometimes it leads to dead ends, but it's important to publish that info as well, so that others don't go down the wrong path.

Typical Diagnosis Route
Scott Adams replied to AdelaW's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
For the celiac disease blood tests it needs to be 6-8 weeks eating lots of gluten daily, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy. Keep in mind that a diagnosis can also bring higher life insurance and private health insurance costs, so an official diagnosis can have some negative sides too. Another example is that many jobs now ask if you have a "disability... -
Side effects are a possibility, but certainly Big Pharma has had many successes, and my hope is that one day treating celiac disease will be another one of them.

What would a diagnosis tell me?
Scott Adams replied to xxnonamexx's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Everyone with celiac disease needs to make their own lifestyle choices--in my case I continue to eat out at restaurants and travel--while some people with celiac disease try to avoid doing either. Of course the safest way to go would be to do neither--but I cannot not accept such lifestyle changes. Since I've made my choice I try to make my dining out as... -
Duodenum biopsy result confusion
Scott Adams replied to jamiet06's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
By the way, this new article is very relevant to this thread: -
The FDA doesn't regulate nutraceuticals like this. The AN-PEP enzyme has been used for decades in commercial beer brewing as a clarifying agent, and is no longer patentable, thus no pharmaceutical companies are interested in it specifically, although there are companies that are trying to develop their own version of it that can be patented.

Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle
Scott Adams replied to annirosex's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Celiac disease can indeed impact your menstrual cycle due to the body's impaired nutrient absorption, which may lead to deficiencies in iron, vitamins, and minerals essential for hormonal balance. Malnutrition and chronic inflammation from untreated celiac can disrupt ovulation and cycle regularity, potentially causing irregular or missed periods. Additionally... -

Baking cooking keeping costs down?
Scott Adams replied to xxnonamexx's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Xanthan gum is added into the the flour mix--1 teaspoon per 2 cups for binding, but some people avoid it because it can cause gastro issues--if you're avoiding it, try 1 tbsp ground flax or chia seeds soaked in 3 tbsp water per cup of flour as a substitute (works well in no-bake recipes). -
Confused About Results
Scott Adams replied to Ginger38's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I believe many cases of nearly positive or elevated antibody tests for celiac disease could be caused by a pre-celiac stage, but it may also be NCGS. Clearly some are sensitive to gluten, thus the autoimmune response, however it may be possible for them to never have a positive biopsy and flattened villi, while some may end up with damaged villi over time... -
