I would only add that cross contamination with wheat may still be a possibility, so it's still best to seek out buckwheat that is labeled "gluten-free."

Potential celiac need advice
Scott Adams replied to Ben98's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks... -
Celiac.com 10/04/2025 - Breakfast pizzas are a modern twist on the age-old tradition of using flatbreads as a vehicle for hearty morning meals. While pizza itself originated in Italy, many cultures have long experimented with bread-like... -
Yes, and cross pollination would spread these modified genetics to non-GMO crops--putting the genie back in the bottle if something negative happens would be difficult.

Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Autumn 2025 Issue
Enzymes can break down gliadin, just not well enough yet to allow you to eat wheat pizza (but perhaps may work with trace amounts of cross contamination)...see comments below this article too: They are working on GMO wheat that would be safe for celiac disease...but it would be GMO (currently there are no commercially used GMO wheat varieties): -
Celiac.com 10/03/2025 - For anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, the first weeks of going gluten-free often feel overwhelming. One of the biggest frustrations comes in the kitchen: how to bake bread, muffins, cakes, or cookies...-

It also may be time to switch doctors if they don't want to do any follow up after you contact them about this.

Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about...

I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck! -
Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden...

What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested...

Celiac.com 09/30/2025 - Media headlines, including a recent article in Scientific American about gluten, often make bold claims: "Gluten-free diets are unnecessary," or "Only people with celiac disease benefit from avoiding gluten." These... -
First, it's fantastic news that your diarrhea has resolved after a month—that is a huge and critical sign of healing, confirming that the gluten-free diet is starting to work. While it feels slow, this stabilization of your digestive system is the essential foundation upon which weight gain is built. Given the severity of your weight loss, dropping from 5...

If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

This is a very complex and difficult situation, and your intuition about a potential link to celiac disease is medically plausible. While Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is often triggered by infections, it can also be precipitated by other immune system events, including a significant gluten exposure in a person with celiac disease. The timeline you describe—...

The connection between celiac disease and thyroid disorders, particularly Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism, is well-established and statistically significant. Research indicates that individuals with celiac disease have a much higher prevalence of thyroid disease compared to the general population, with studies suggesting between 4-11% of celiacs...

Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Autumn 2025 Issue
While thiamine is crucial for health, the specific mechanisms linking it to autoimmunity and autism as you've stated are not supported by robust evidence and go far beyond the conclusions of the studies you mention.
