Social rejection because of Celiac
Scott Adams replied to Name's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It's fair for you to draw such a line after providing an kind explanation to them which they will hopefully understand. It's too bad that some people still won't understand. -

Celiac.com 04/23/2026 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This reaction damages the lining of the small intestine and can interfere with the... -
Social rejection because of Celiac
Scott Adams replied to Name's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Celiac disease really does expose how much ignorance and bad assumptions people carry about food, weight, and chronic illness, and none of that is your fault. It is encouraging that you have found at least one truly understanding friend, because the right people do make a huge difference. Sometimes losing people who refuse to learn clears space for better... -
Celiac.com 04/22/2026 - Fish sauce is one of those ingredients that often looks simple at first glance. Many people assume it should contain only fish and salt, which leads them to believe it must be gluten-free. In some cases, that is... -

That sounds serious, and with hypoglycemia, ketones in the urine, and ongoing weight loss, this is really something that needs prompt medical attention rather than home advice alone. Juice, fruit, and honey may give a short-term sugar boost, but they do not address the underlying cause of continued weight loss and ketones, especially if malabsorption is involved...

Plain popcorn kernels are naturally gluten-free, so for most people they are usually considered a low-risk option compared with flavored microwave popcorn or packaged snack mixes. The bigger issue is not the corn itself, but possible cross-contact during processing, packaging, or repacking, especially with store bulk bins or brands that handle other grain...

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 may fall into this...

Thank you for sharing, it's great to know that there is an organization set up to help celiacs in need of gluten-free food.

I agree that it can vary from person to person, but hopefully sharing real photos of dermatitis herpetiformis, along with its symptoms, can help get people who have no idea what their problem is headed in the right direction.

Good point, and many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

You make an important point. Too many people assume they can tell someone’s health story just by looking at them, when in reality celiac disease and other medical conditions can cause serious, unintentional weight loss and long-term struggles that outsiders never see. The overlap between diet culture, social media, and misunderstanding about gluten-free l...

The overlap between celiac disease and endometriosis symptoms can make diagnosis incredibly frustrating, especially when digestive pain, fatigue, bloating, and inflammation get explained away or treated as separate issues. Posts like this are important because they remind people to keep asking questions when something does not add up. More awareness among...

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"...

Dermatitis herpetiformis could be worth asking about, especially since it is linked to gluten exposure, but it is best diagnosed by a dermatologist who knows how to biopsy skin next to an active lesion. Since medications seem to flare your rash, it may also help to review inactive ingredients with a pharmacist, because some fillers can cause problems for...

Is Flavored Sparkling Water Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Yes, it's ingredients are water and natural flavors, so it is naturally gluten-free. -

Classic French Comfort Made Safe: A Hearty Gluten-Free Cassoulet
Scott Adams posted an article in French
Celiac.com 04/18/2026 - Cassoulet is one of those dishes that feels like it was invented to get people through cold weather and long days. Originally from southwestern France, it grew out of practical home cooking: beans that could simmer... -
Celiac.com 04/17/2026 - Humanitarian crises often create severe shortages of food, clean water, and medical care. For most people, emergency food aid focuses on providing calories and basic nutrition to prevent hunger and starvation. However...- 3 comments

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. You are right that the study’s main conclusion was cautious: the researchers found that inherited antibody-gene variants significantly shape the naïve B-cell receptor repertoire, including usage of some gene segments involved in celiac-related antibody responses, but they did not find strong evidence that polymorphisms in...

Terrible Neurological Symptoms

I am not sure I follow you here...exactly what part of my post are you disagreeing with? -
PS - If you decide to get him retested for celiac disease (perhaps he wasn't eating enough gluten daily before the blood tests?), 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:

That is really interesting, especially because it points to how the gut microbiome may still stay altered in celiac disease even after going gluten-free. The idea that a fiber like inulin could help feed beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation is encouraging, although I imagine some people with celiac disease or other gut issues might still need to introduce...
