What is Celiac Disease?
Scott Adams posted an article in Frequently Asked Questions About Celiac Disease
Celiac.com 05/29/2020 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that affects around 1% of the population. People with celiac disease suffer an autoimmune reaction when they consume wheat, rye or barley because they cannot break down... -

Johnson Sea Products of Coden, AL, is recalling its 12oz package of frozen “Home Style Crab cakes” because they contain undeclared ingredients of wheat and soy. People who have allergies to wheat or soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. The recalled “Home Style Crab Cakes” were distributed in reta...

One Celiac Man's Harrowing Covid-19 Survival Story
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Yes, the Kentucky newspaper defined celiac disease as "being allergic to wheat," but not the guy with celiac disease who is the subject of the article. This fact doesn't, in my opinion, detract from the man's story, or the overall article. Having been involved deeply with celiac disease for 25 years now, I think I understand that you may feel strongly about... -
Is Covid-19 Risk Higher in Celiacs?
Scott Adams replied to Monica2222's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
So far I've not seen any studies that show that celiacs are more (or less) susceptible to Covid-19. We did do an article on this which recommends that celiacs may want to consider getting their pneumococcal vaccination, which is a recommendation anyway, even before Covid-19: Also, there is a study where doctors are asked to report Covid-19 outcomes... -

In some people with celiac disease it manifests itself as a neurological/brain disease, and here are more articles on this: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac-disease/

I think if your employer really cared they'd require, and supply, masks. Transmission of Covid has been shown to be airborne. It was documented in S. Korea after re-opening bars and clubs there that a single person without symptoms transmitted the virus to over 100 people while bar hopping. Needless to say that they country closed down all clubs and bars...

It’s got to be frustrating, but there are a lot of people who might feel lucky now just to have a job and regular income, so if there is a silver lining perhaps that’s it. Given the working conditions you described you will need to be extra careful, which I’m sure you are. I assume you’re wearing a mask, hopefully N-95 grade, washing your hands frequen...

Agreed, if a worker puts a tag on the wrong item it could be a liability.

One Celiac Man's Harrowing Covid-19 Survival Story
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
I’m not condoning it, but he was very I’ll, and that’s what he ate...he had celiac disease, right there in paragraph 1. Again, he may be one of the ~25% of celiacs who regularly cheat, or this may have been a one time thing based on the belief that he may die, we just don’t know. He indicates he had lost over 15 pounds, was having issues eating, AND ”H... -
One Celiac Man's Harrowing Covid-19 Survival Story
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Might be better to look at it like he was considering the McDonald’s meal as his last. Under such circumstances he may have wanted it over a gluten-free meal. What would you eat if you thought you might die? Still not advisable by Celiac.com or any doctor, but hopefully none of us ever end up in his shoes and are faced with such a choice.- 20 comments

I do recall the "gluten-free" signs, and even sections, which are still in some markets. It did make things easier to find, and I also wonder why Amazon would stop this practice. Perhaps there are so many more gluten-free products now than there was 10 years ago? That would be my guess. We also now have gluten-free on labels, as well as certified gluten-free...

yes, unfortunately he supports the polling evidence that about 25% of celiac’s cheat on their diets....but shouldn’t! -

Celiac Disease?
Scott Adams replied to Corey W.'s topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Were you on a gluten-free diet before taking the blood test? If so, that may have caused the DGP test to be negative. At this point you should still be eating gluten daily until all tests are completed. If it’s too difficult to do this then then the current results may be enough for you to stay in a lifelong gluten-free diet. Going this route may exclude y... -
Healing can take months to years, and you may react to many things that don't contain gluten, but cause issues. I recommend going through this topic:

365 products
Scott Adams replied to Suhryn's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Can you clarify what you mean here...do you mean the Safeway brand "365"? If so, this would be determined on a product by product basis. -
Welcome to the forum! Your symptoms certainly sound consistent with celiac disease, so I can see how you found your way here. This article lays out blood test procedures, including those for IgA deficient people: Hopefully you can get re-tested if that was not taken into account.
