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
You should avoid eating there if you don't trust the gluten-free claim that Taco Bell makes for their items on their website. Yes, there can be hidden gluten in some ingredients, but that does not mean that the company did not do their homework before making their gluten-free claim. -
It sounds like you’ve had a really rough week with persistent stomach issues after eating at that restaurant. Given your celiac diagnosis, it’s very possible that cross-contamination from the fries (since they weren’t cooked in a dedicated fryer) triggered a reaction, especially if they were fried in the same oil as gluten-containing foods. Your symptoms—diarr...

How long after being diagnosed with Celiac do you feel better?

Most likely cross-contamination I believe.

Yes, this is true.

Gluten-Free Hair Mousse
Scott Adams replied to Linda Carey's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Try DevaCurl Frizz-Free Volumizing Foam for curls, Living Proof Full Thickening Mousse for long-lasting body, or Aveda Phomollient for a soft, natural lift. Budget-friendly options like Giovanni Natural Mousse or Herbal Essences Bio:Renew also work well. Avoid heavy ingredients and check for hydrolyzed wheat protein if highly sensitive. Always verify labels... -
You can find gluten-free foods in any supermarkets in Europe, so it's possible to not have to eat in restaurants much.

I typically bring my own food on flights and trains, and haven't had any issues doing that, although I never use ice packs. At the very least it's a good idea to have backup GF bars and trail mix whenever you travel.

Confused about test results
Scott Adams replied to KikiSa's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Honestly, with a 10x or higher level on a TTG-IgA score, there is really no other explanation but celiac disease, at least in my humble opinion. -

Inhaler problem
Scott Adams replied to Iris Kraft's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
So there can be gluten in pain meds, but I've never heard of it in anesthesia before. Do you have any more info on this claim, perhaps a link to a source? -
Confused about test results
Scott Adams replied to KikiSa's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive... -
The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal, although this may not be the case for everyone. This article may be helpful:

For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:
