Scott Adams's Achievements
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.

Gluten-Free at Taco Bell: A Celiac's Guide to the Menu (+Video)
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Taco Bell’s meat (seasoned beef, chicken, steak) does not contain oats and is gluten-free by ingredient. However, due to shared cooking equipment, cross-contamination is possible, so it may not considered safe for celiacs. The only oats on the menu are in Cinnamon Delights, which contain gluten. Gluten-sensitive diners can opt for corn-shell tacos or Power M... -

Question
-
Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
-
Have you been able to see a doctor or rheumatologist about this? Inflammation like that could point to something like celiac complications, an autoimmune response, or even reactive arthritis, and you deserve relief and answers. In the meantime, gentle heat/cold therapy or anti-inflammatory foods and over the counter meds might help a little, but I hope you...

Celiac.com 04/04/2025 - Dylan Dreyer, the well-known meteorologist and Today show personality, recently shared a frustrating experience that struck a chord with many people living with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. While dining... -

@fritz2, in the USA it is extremely rare for maltodextrin to contain wheat, although technically, according to the FDA, it can. Various celiac support groups over the last few decades have contacted the 3-4 biggest USA manufacturers of it to discover that corn is almost always used, rather than wheat. The sugar in the vitamin water, however, may have contributed...

Thanks for this update, and it is scary that drug manufacturing is being outsourced to India, a country that is notorious for having very little, or extremely relaxed business regulations.

NCGS Diagnosis
Scott Adams replied to PA Painter's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Just so you know GliadinX is not supposed to be used in place of a gluten-free diet, and may only be able to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach. Small amounts might mean some wheat bread crumbs on your scrambled eggs at a restaurant. I'm not sure how your taking it, but I can say that I used to get glutened ~30% of the time when eating out... -
No everyone with DH has issues with iodine, but some do, so it's good to be aware of this just in case you fall into that group.

@Parkrunner Your journey with undiagnosed celiac disease highlights how easily this condition can be overlooked, especially when symptoms are mild or mistaken for other issues. It’s frustrating that it took decades—and serious complications like osteoporosis—before getting answers, but it’s inspiring to hear how much your health has improved since going g...

Previous Biopsy Results
Scott Adams replied to Katya773's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Your situation is incredibly frustrating and emotionally draining, especially with the conflicting biopsy results, unclear diagnosis, and the added stress of personal losses. Given your DQ2.5 homozygous status, family history of celiac, and past biopsy findings (damaged villi, ulcers, lymphangiectasia), the evidence strongly suggests celiac disease—despite t... -

NCGS Diagnosis
Scott Adams replied to PA Painter's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It sounds like you're dealing with a severe non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) that significantly impacts your neurological and musculoskeletal systems, despite testing negative for celiac disease. Your sensitivity is so pronounced that even trace amounts of wheat trigger debilitating symptoms, including nerve pain, cognitive issues, and inflammation. Adopting... -
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:

If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Did you look up your meds on the government website I shared? It should list all additives.
