    Scott Adams

    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.

    Celiac.com 03/19/2014 - The incidence of  celiac disease in the United States is rising.  Children with the disease attend public and private schools and educators must ensure them equal educational access and a safe environment.  If you are a parent of a child with  celiac disease you know the struggles you have faced in trying to make sure your child doesn’t miss out on educational experiences, school lunches, and a safe and bully-free classroom environment.  
    To find out more about what children with  celiac disease and gluten intolerance experience in school, a recent study examined the educational, social, and family challenges of children with  celiac disease in pre-kindergarten through grade twelve.   Phone interviews were conducted with children and their parents.  One hundr...

    The Physical, Educational, Emotional, and Family Life Challenges of a Lifetime with Celiac Disease: A Case Study
    Celiac.com 11/15/2016 - Do you know someone who has lived with celiac disease for over eighty years? Someone who lived on nothing but mashed bananas for a year? Someone who continued to eat gluten for over 30 years because doctors didn't know how to treat a celiac diagnosis? Someone who experienced serious physical, emotional, and family challenges as a result? Well, I met such an individual at the International Celiac Symposium in Chicago in the fall of 2013. Clara (a pseudonym) attended my poster session, The Educational, Social, and Family Challenges of Children with Celiac Disease: What Parents Should Know. As she stood before my poster with tears in her eyes she began to say, "This is me. This is me." Through a brief conversation then, and several lengthy telephone interviews that followed...

    Seville Spain Launches a Gluten-Free Support Network
    Celiac.com 11/12/2019 - People with celiac disease know that the battle to remain gluten-free requires constant vigilance, and most are thankful for any help they can get along the way. Still, most help is limited and scattershot.
    Ever wonder what it would look like for a town or city to help people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance to have a normal social life? Well, it might look a bit like a plan unveiled recently by the City Council of Seville, Spain as part of a new health and welfare campaign designed to provide comprehensive information on gluten-free food options within Seville. 
    Promoted by the Department of Public Health, and presented by the Department of Public Health and its Delegation of Social Welfare, Employment and Comprehensive Plans for Social ...
