    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.

    Men Are Biggest Gluten-free Diet Cheats
    Celiac.com 06/19/2015 - And the biggest gluten-free diet cheats are? Men.
    According to a recent survey commissioned by U.K.-based gluten-free bread company Newburn Bakehouse, gluten-intolerant men feel stigmatized by their dietary restrictions, which leads them to cheat on their diets far more commonly than women. 
    The survey showed that 36 percent of U.K. men sensitive to gluten in food regularly cheat, even though cheating can have adverse health consequences.
    Moreover, one in five of those surveyed said they believe a gluten-free diet is “not for real men.”
    This makes for some fairly large numbers of male gluten-free diet cheats.
    Studies by the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research show that about 6 percent of the U.S. population suff...

    CNN Gets it Wrong: You Can’t Cheat if You’re Gluten Sensitive
    Celiac.com 12/08/2018 - Recently CNN published an article entitled “Will a Gluten Free Diet Improve Your Health?” Honestly there were a lot of plus-points to this article. But unfortunately the negatives could very well outweigh them if you’re considering, or are new to, the gluten-free diet.
    Let’s review the positives and negatives as they appear in the article:
    1. Dr Leffler from Harvard Medical School was quoted as saying that: “Gluten is fairly indigestible in all people.” “There’s probably some kind of gluten intolerance in all of us.” 
    Bravo! I was very excited to read this remark.  Although I often promote this information, I haven’t heard it from others aside from Dr. Fasano. The fact that humans can’t properly digest gluten is an important truth that should be be...

    The Gluten Contamination Study We've Been Waiting For
    Celiac.com 10/14/2019 - One of the big debates among people with celiac disease concerns how vigilant celiacs need to be to make sure they avoid gluten. What does science say about gluten contamination in three common scenarios? How careful do you need to be about gluten contamination?
    For example, how likely are you to get gluten over 20ppm if you share a toaster, pasta water, or slice a cupcake with the same knife used to cut a non-gluten-free cupcake?
    A team of researchers recently set out to assess three common scenarios where people with celiac disease might reasonably fear gluten contamination. How did the actual risk for each situation measure up?
    Scenario 1: Water used to cook regular pasta is reused to cook gluten-free penne and fusilli. The gluten-free p...

    Are Enzymes Effective Against Gluten Contamination?
    Celiac.com 03/06/2020 - Celiac disease has an incidence of about 1% in the general population. It is an automimmune disease triggered by a proline-rich protein, gliadin, when it enters the small intestine and leaks into the wall of the small intestine (therefore the name leaky gut). Humans cannot break down proline-rich proteins. In healthy persons, gliadin passes through the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted in stool and urine without consequences. Celiac patients, build antibodies in the small intestine and these antibodies travel through the blood stream in all areas of the body. In some patients, there are no apparent symptoms or they can be very mild, while in others the symptoms are quite severe and are even associated with an increased risk of a certain type of intestinal cancer....
