Celiac.com is an online resource that provides information, support, and resources for individuals affected by Coeliac disease (American English: celiac) (CD), gluten sensitivity, and related conditions.[1] The site features articles by a network of authors, including doctors, nurses, and nutritionists who are experts on coeliac disease.[2]

At its launch, it was the first website on the Internet dedicated to coeliac disease.[3] Its stated purpose was "To provide people who have celiac disease (aka gluten intolerance) and are not aware of it with a means of figuring out what their problem is, and to help those who know they have it to lead more comfortable and healthy lives."[4] This purpose has remained unchanged, and the site’s primary funding comes from advertisers who support Celiac.com’s mission.[5]

History

Celiac.com was launched in San Francisco, California, in August 1995 by Scott Adams as a personal website on Hooked.net, an early Bay Area ISP, shortly after his diagnosis with coeliac disease.[6] Initially titled "Scott's Celiac Page," the original URL was http://www.hooked.net/~sadams.[7] It was created in response to the limited information available about coeliac disease on the Internet, a condition requiring a strict gluten-free diet.[8] At the time of Adams' diagnosis, the total information available online about coeliac disease amounted to around two printed pages from a United Kingdom site on digestive diseases.[9]

In 1997, the site moved to the Celiac.com domain and was retitled "Celiac Support Page."[10] Early content included research, articles, safe and forbidden food lists, gluten-free recipes, and a weekly eNewsletter.[11] Over time, the site expanded to include moderated support forums, blogs, product reviews, and the "Journal of Gluten Sensitivity."[12] The site's growth was driven by the increasing prevalence of coeliac disease diagnoses and the growing awareness of gluten sensitivity.[13]

In 2003, the headquarters moved to Santa Rosa, California, where it has remained.[14]

Scott Adams has continuously operated the site since its founding and is recognized within the coeliac disease community for his advocacy and educational efforts.[15]

Advocacy

Celiac.com has been instrumental in raising awareness about coeliac disease and advocating for those affected.[16] The site promotes the adoption of gluten-free options in restaurants and fast food chains.[17]. The site promotes widespread testing for coeliac disease, especially among those who have related disorders.[18]
