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.

This is such an important discussion! While corn gluten (zein) is structurally different from wheat gluten, emerging research suggests some celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals may still react to it, whether due to cross-reactivity, inflammation, or other factors. For those with non-responsive celiac disease or ongoing symptoms, eliminating corn—especially p...

I’m so sorry your little one is going through this. Celiac recovery can take time (sometimes months for gut healing), but the ongoing leg pain is concerning. Since his anemia was severe, have his doctors checked his other nutrient levels? Deficiencies in magnesium, vitamin D, or B12 could contribute to muscle/joint pain. A pediatric GI or rheumatologist m...

Help Understanding Test Results
Scott Adams replied to Brown42186's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for the update! It’s great that your GI is being thorough with the follow-up testing—hopefully the endoscopy will give you clearer answers. The EPI diagnosis is interesting; I’ve read that celiac can sometimes lead to pancreatic issues like EPI due to long-term malabsorption or autoimmune overlap. Have they mentioned if your EPI might improve with ... -
Good on you--it looks like you followed the recommendation in the article: "Communicate Clearly: Inform your barista about your gluten-free needs and ask about preparation methods."

It sounds like you’ve noticed a clear connection between gluten exposure and your Afib episodes, which is really important insight. While it’s understandable to hesitate about medication if it feels like it might mask your symptoms, your cardiologist’s concern likely comes from wanting to protect your heart from potential risks, even if Afib is triggered inter...

Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

IGA and TTG IGA Levels
Scott Adams replied to thejayland10's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
The first step would be to re-examine your diet to see if hidden gluten is the cause. Eating out would be the number one source of contamination, even if restaurants offer gluten-free menus and options. -
You may want to see al allergist and run a standard food allergy panel to see if wheat allergy could contribute to this, but again, the most likely culprit if you have celiac disease would be gluten contamination.
