I think i may be a celiac
Scott Adams replied to Michal Korneluk's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The only way to know for sure whether you have celiac disease would be to get a blood test for it. In order to do an accurate blood test you need to be eating gluten daily for several weeks before any tests are done. More info on the blood tests: It’s possible the symptoms you described could be related to celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, ... -
Undiagnosed Need Advice
Scott Adams replied to Moogle39's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, gluten intolerance/sensitivity is definitely a real thing, and ~10% of people have it (about 1% have celiac disease). Here are some scientific studies to back it up: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=NCWS&type=cms_records2&search_and_or=and -
Since you live in a house with gluten eaters you may want to look into gluten digesting enzymes like GliadinX (full disclosure they are a sponsor of this site). In many studies they have been shown to break down small amounts of Gluten, for example the amount you might get with cross-contamination. This might mitigate the problems of living with people who...

Undiagnosed Need Advice
Scott Adams replied to Moogle39's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Do you recall when you were tested whether or not you were on a gluten-free diet beforehand? If so that could be why the tests were negative. You do need to eat gluten daily for several weeks before taking tests for celiac disease. Also, were the tests zero, or were there antibodies that were measured? I ask because it could be the difference between... -
Is this normal?
Scott Adams replied to GayleD's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It’s normal for many who are gluten sensitive or have celiac disease. Even a small amount of gluten can trigger debilitating symptoms that can last days or longer. Also you need to be eating gluten regularly for several weeks before being tested for celiac disease. So if you have been gluten-free for a while your tests may end up false negative. Please r... -

Salad
Scott Adams replied to Lwarth68's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes, as long as they are not somehow contaminated with gluten all vegetables should be safe and gluten-free. -

The problem with Gluten-Free Watchdog is that you have to pay to get the information, and any test they run may show that the product is Gluten-Free at the moment they test it. However, they cannot test a large enough samples of any product to ensure year around safety. They give you a false sense of security. Maybe the box on the shelf right next to the...

Gluten free frozen pizza
Scott Adams replied to Steve Elliott's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This article we did a while back might be helpful: -
Of course it's possible that there could have been a problem with a batch, but it's unlikely. Large companies tend to do a better, and not a worse job, of making sure that their products are gluten-free, once they decide to add "gluten-free" to their label, and this is due to their larger liability. However, her reaction could also could be related...

Johnson Sea Products of Coden, AL, is recalling its 12oz package of frozen “Home Style Crab cakes” because they contain undeclared ingredients of wheat and soy. People who have allergies to wheat or soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. The recalled “Home Style Crab Cakes” were distributed in reta...

One Celiac Man's Harrowing Covid-19 Survival Story
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Yes, the Kentucky newspaper defined celiac disease as "being allergic to wheat," but not the guy with celiac disease who is the subject of the article. This fact doesn't, in my opinion, detract from the man's story, or the overall article. Having been involved deeply with celiac disease for 25 years now, I think I understand that you may feel strongly about...- 20 comments

Is Covid-19 Risk Higher in Celiacs?
Scott Adams replied to Monica2222's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
So far I've not seen any studies that show that celiacs are more (or less) susceptible to Covid-19. We did do an article on this which recommends that celiacs may want to consider getting their pneumococcal vaccination, which is a recommendation anyway, even before Covid-19: Also, there is a study where doctors are asked to report Covid-19 outcomes...
