Fiber Supplement
Scott Adams replied to Trish G's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This is an older article, but still helpful: -
Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.
-
In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

Inconclusive results
Scott Adams replied to deanna1ynne's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted... -
In the USA only wheat-based breads are fortified with certain vitamins, but not gluten-free breads, thus we typically encourage celiacs to take multivitamin supplements.

Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Latest Research
@Dorothy O. Your story is incredibly powerful, and it highlights something that still happens far too often—family members of people with celiac disease aren’t always told that they should be tested, even though first-degree relatives have up to a 1 in 10 chance of having it. It’s heartbreaking that you went so many decades without a diagnosis, especially given... -
CT with contrast.
Scott Adams replied to JoJo0611's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It’s actually very common for doctors to order both an endoscopy with biopsies and additional imaging like a CT scan with contrast, depending on your symptoms. The endoscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease because it allows doctors to directly examine the small intestine and check for villous atrophy. A CT scan, however, doesn’t... -

Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac
Scott Adams replied to Ginger38's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared.... -

I'd be very cautious about accepting these claims without robust evidence. The hypothesis requires a chain of biologically unlikely events: Gluten/gliadin survives the cow's rumen and entire digestive system intact. It is then absorbed whole into the cow's bloodstream. It bypasses the cow's immune system and liver. It is then secreted...

Celiac.com 11/26/2025 - Microbial transglutaminase is an enzyme made by bacteria. Food manufacturers commonly use it as a “glue” to bind proteins together in processed foods such as meat, dairy, and baked goods. The study summarized her... -
Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

Celiac.com 11/21/2025 - Celiac disease damages the small intestine through an abnormal immune response to gluten. A lifelong gluten-free diet is the current treatment, but many people continue to have symptoms or subtle tissue changes... -
Hopefully the food she eats away from home, especially at school, is 100% gluten-free. If you haven't checked in with the school directly about this, it might be worth a planned visit with their staff to make sure her food is safe.

While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that...

The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Latest Research
Your story is a testament to the critical importance of an early and accurate diagnosis. It's tough to read about what you had to endure, including multiple surgeries and hospitalizations, all while the root cause—celiac disease—remained undetected for so long. Your experience highlights the consequences of medical ignorance surrounding this condition and...- 8 comments

Guinness, can you drink it?
Scott Adams replied to Butch68's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This is why Daura Damm can be a sponsor here--at 3ppm or less it is gluten-free, and it's doubtful that anyone with celiac disease would ever have issues with such levels. Some people may be reacting to the yeast in the beer, but I seriously doubt that such beers could trigger elevated antibodies or villi damage--the science says such levels won't trigger... -
I have to express some significant skepticism about the drclark cleansing programs you've mentioned. The claim that a specific, three-part parasite and organ cleanse is a universal solution for chronic health issues is a major red flag, as it oversimplifies the immense complexity of the human body and conditions like Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune...
