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 article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...

Do you consume oats? Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You...

Products can be both gluten-free AND made in a facility that produces wheat products. Why are you assuming that this product isn't gluten-free?

Cross-contamination?
Scott Adams replied to Matt13's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
No, small amounts of cross-contamination won't instantly cause villi damage. In fact the protocol for getting an endoscopy for celiac disease requires people to eat at least 2 slices of wheat bread per day for 2 weeks before the procedure, otherwise any damage done might not be detected. Small amounts of gluten on a daily basis, however, may lead to severe... -

It sounds like you're navigating a challenging and frustrating situation, and it's understandable why you'd seek clarity. Based on what you’ve described, it’s possible to have gluten sensitivity without the hallmark villous atrophy seen in celiac disease. This condition is often referred to as non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Unlike celiac disease, NC... -
Certified gluten free oats
Scott Adams replied to Matt13's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Gluten-free oats can cause villous atrophy in people with celiac disease who are sensitive to oats (~10% of celiacs). While oats are naturally gluten-free and often safe for most individuals with celiac disease, a small percentage of people with the condition are sensitive to avenin, a protein found in oats that is structurally similar to gluten. For these... -
