    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.

    Rising Gluten-free Food Costs Squeeze Shoppers and Manufacturers
    Celiac.com 07/27/2021 - Rising costs for gluten-free wholesale ingredients, like rice flour, are driving up prices and leading manufacturers to look for solutions. The solution for some, might lie in changing recipes.
    Rising prices for gluten-free ingredients
    Buyers who already pay premium prices for gluten-free foods could find themselves squeezed a bit more, and rising prices for gluten-free bulk ingredients are driving up manufacturing prices.
    Gluten-free shoppers already pay more for food than non-gluten-free shoppers, but that reality could fast be compounded by rising costs and logistical difficulties.
    For example, the wholesale price of rice flour, a key ingredient in numerous gluten-free products, like bread and cakes is up more than twenty-five percent...

    Soaring Grocery Prices Hit Canadian Celiacs Especially Hard
    Celiac.com 05/19/2023 - Living with celiac disease can be a challenge, and one of the biggest hurdles is the cost of gluten-free foods. Gluten-free products are notoriously expensive to begin with, and with grocery prices soaring in recent times, it's becoming increasingly difficult for those with celiac disease to keep up with the costs.
    Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects approximately one percent of the Canadian population. It is triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley grains, which can cause inflammation of the gut lining and various symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, bloating, tiredness, and headaches.
    For those with celiac disease, eating even a small amount of gluten can lead to long-term complications such as...

    Celiac Disease Sufferers Squeezed by Soaring Cost of Gluten-Free Food
    Celiac.com 02/13/2024 - For those living with celiac disease, the gluten-free lifestyle isn't just a choice; it's a medical necessity. However, a recent analysis by Coeliac UK has shed light on a concerning trend — the soaring cost of gluten-free alternatives is leaving many celiac sufferers in a difficult position, risking their health due to financial constraints.
    According to the analysis, gluten-free versions of everyday staples can be up to six times more expensive than their gluten-containing counterparts. The economic strain is pushing 27% of people with celiac disease to buy food that might contain gluten, as revealed in a Coeliac UK survey. Shockingly, 4% admitted to purchasing food that definitely contained gluten, despite the health risks.
    The financial challenge i...
