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.

We at Celiac.com believe that raising more awareness for those with serious food allergies--especially about why it's not a good idea to use top allergens like peanut flour in gluten-free products in an unexpected way (for example not sprinkled on top where the peanuts would be visible)--may help prevent it from happening again. -
Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?
Scott Adams replied to DMCeliac's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat." -

Histamine itself does not have a taste. The salty taste associated with tears or mucus comes from their electrolyte content, not from histamine. While histamine can be part of various immune responses, its connection to gluten reactions is not direct, and it does not taste salty. The salty taste of tears and mucus is due to their sodium chloride content,...

Let us know what you find out, the reference ranges should appear on the original test results. -

Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet
Scott Adams replied to aperlo34's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I didn't have the issue until ~25 years after I went gluten-free. It's possible that our dry eye issues are not related to celiac disease...difficult to know for sure. -

Ok, sorry...do you eat oats? Around 10% of celiacs react to oats, even certified gluten-free oats. You may want to cut out oats and dairy/casein for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure...

Daughter waiting for appointment
Scott Adams replied to jjiillee's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Given that she had a weak positive tTg-IgA blood test for celiac disease, and she gets symptom relief from a gluten-free diet, she could be in a pre-celiac disease stage, and might develop full blown celiac disease (villi damage) if she continues to eat gluten. At this point, even though her biopsy is negative, she may want to stay gluten-free. As @trents... -

Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Have you had symptom improvement on a gluten-free diet? If so, you may be in the NCGS area. Also, are you eating oats, and have you tried cutting o...

Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
