Yes, people with celiac disease need exercise and after they have recovered should be able to play all sports.

The Top 16 Gluten-Free Candy Bars
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
As mentioned, Snickers bars do not contain any wheat, as it would have to be disclosed in the ingredients, and per Mars: “To do so, you count on the ingredient statements on food labels to be truthful and accurate.” if you had a reaction it was likely from something else and you should avoid the product. -
CELIAC DISEASE AND POLYCYTHEMA VERA
Scott Adams replied to SamIPD's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
This is a good question because I’ve been treated for years for a high red blood cell count, but so far haven’t been diagnosed with anything. -
Possible Nerve Damage?
Scott Adams replied to Isaacfrost's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Ataxia is a common symptom associated with celiac disease, which is nerve damage that can be caused by it. Diabetics also can have this issue, so it would be good for you to discuss your symptoms with your doctor to figure out the cause. I'm had issues like this, and am currently treating it using vitamins & minerals, especially B1 and Magnesium Citrate... -

The more I'm "in," the worse it gets!
Scott Adams replied to Igiveup's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I agree that the OP may have issues with some items in your very long list of foods to avoid, and if they can figure out what those are they their health will improve, but I doubt they would have issues with even 80-90% of the items you list. During the elimination phase it makes sense to limit your diet for time, but I think it's important to clarify to... -
I think you can trust a large company like this when they put "gluten-free" on a label. If it were not gluten-free they would be sued and lose millions. That said, it's really up to you what you want to believe. It think there is a deep distrust I see in posts against big companies, some of which I understand, but not when it comes to things like this. They...

Also, what does the Tony Robbins video have to do with your post? Isn’t he the rich guy who owns an island in the Caribbean that he got from selling the idea that he can make you rich too? Seems like a strange video to throw in there considering your big warning about sites that run ads to pay for their content (which is far from free, by the way). -
The more I'm "in," the worse it gets!
Scott Adams replied to Igiveup's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Although I believe that during the initial post diagnosis gut healing stage everyone should do an elimination diet and eliminate things that also cause negative gut reactions, after the gut heals most people can add these foods back into their diets and not have reactions. The diet you describe is unnecessarily strict, and there is no scientific evidence... -
Hi Wendy, welcome to the forum. This thread was originally started back in 2006, which is when most posts were made, so it’s doubtful the original posters will respond. it sounds more like an allergic response to something you ate, rather than a typical celiac response to gluten. Perhaps you have an allergy to wheat or other food as well? You may want t...

Hi Eric, welcome to the forum. It depends greatly on the condition that your gut was in at the time of your diagnosis, but most people take one to two years for their guts to fully recover: Be sure to double check everything in your diet to be sure that it is 100% gluten-free, including all of the supplements you’re taking. It’s also possible tha...

Is wolf chili gluten free?
Scott Adams replied to LindaBeth's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Although it doesn't contain wheat as an ingredient: https://www.wolfbrandchili.com/chili-without-beans/original-chili-no-beans It isn't labelled as "gluten-free" and it does contain oats, which may not be sourced gluten-free oats: The product may be gluten-free, but to be safe you may want to find a brand that is labelled "gluten-free." ... -
medical tape
Scott Adams replied to cgraceride's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Did they give you any other medication to take orally? My thought is that the stomach issues might be associated with something you ate, rather than the tape used to cover the wound. I would advise you against taking it off unless you consult with your doctor first, as it's probably there to prevent infection. -
Celíac treatment
Scott Adams replied to Alex rendeiro's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Currently the only treatment is a 100% gluten-free diet. -
The only benefit of getting tested is if you would need a formal diagnosis....a piece of paper...that would make you adhere to a lifelong gluten-free diet. On the flip side once you get diagnosed, at least in the USA, you will be faced with lifelong higher private life and health insurance rates, and policies may be harder to get.
