vitamin b-3 B-Vitamin deficiencies resources for Celiac disease especially Niacin aka Vitamin B-3 and Vitamin B-2 aka Riboflavin

[Posterboy]

To All,

I told Scott months ago I would start this resource page of sources and now I am finally making good on my promise(s).

I am combining this page into a resource for Vitamin B-3 and Vitamin B-2 because they are related and do not happen in an uncomplicated way.

I will start with some Niaicin and/or Niacinamide resources but it is ok to post both B-2 and B-3 resources on this page.

There is a similar resource page started by Knitty Kitty on Thiamine.....callled Thiamine, Thiamine, Thiamine.

And one on Magnesium, Magnesium, Magnesium etc.

This one on Niacin and Riboflavin in a way you might say completes the Triology etc.

So here goes nothing as they say...

This came up in a different thread and deserves its own thread talking about the role Niacin plays in a healhty GI system.

Entitled "Niacin ameliorates ulcerative colitis (aka UC) via prostaglandin D2-mediated D prostanoid receptor 1 activation"

https://www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.15252/emmm.201606987

And this one entitled "Two Cases of Dermatitis Herpetiformis (aka DH) Successfully Treated with Tetracycline and Niacinamide"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30390734/

I will try and add more later but that is about all the time I have for tonight.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

Interesting info for sure. This just came out today, so it can go into your B12 file!

Scott,

There is nothing new or interesting in this research elevated homocystiene has long been assoicated with dementia like symptom's.

I used to have elevate Homocysteine levels myself but taking B-12 didn't help it.

But taking B-2 did!  The homocysteine cylce (including B6, B9 (Folic Acid), and B12) is dependent on B-2 aka Riboflavin to work properly.

The Polymorphism of a MTHFR Gene defect is just a Vitamin B2 deficiency issue.

See this reserach about it....entitled "MTHFR issues are just a Riboflavin deficiency"

https://chrismasterjohnphd.com/blog/2019/02/26/mthfr-just-riboflavin-deficiency/

Here is a nice thread I started (but nobody joined in) about cytokines trigger GI inflammation.

The same thing happens the Brain (Central Nervous System) as well......explaining the Brain Fog that many Celiac's often get controled / triggered by Low B-Vitamins.

This wast studied 12+ years ago but I guess nobody was ready to recognize that Vitamins are controlling Cytokine production thus triggering an Immune condition thought to be Genetic but is really Epi-genetic in origin instead???

See this research entitled "Vitamin-regulated cytokines and growth factors in the CNS and elsewhere"

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1471-4159.2009.06417.x#:~:text=As cytokines are essential to CNS-immune and CNS-hormone,an imbalance in cytokine and%2For growth factor synthesis.

And yes this has been studied in Alzheimers as well.....

Low B-Vitamins trigger Gray matter shrinkage......but this would be further than modern medicine want's to admit openly......if you can take a B-Vitamin or B-Vitamins to protect your mental heath.....you won't need our medicine(s) instead....

See this reseaerch entitled "Preventing Alzheimer's disease-related gray matter atrophy by B-vitamin treatment"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23690582/

quoting from the abstract

"Here, we go further by demonstrating that B-vitamin treatment reduces, by as much as seven fold, the cerebral atrophy in those gray matter (GM) regions specifically vulnerable to the AD process, including the medial temporal lobe. In the placebo group, higher homocysteine levels at baseline are associated with faster GM atrophy, but this deleterious effect is largely prevented by B-vitamin treatment......B vitamins lower homocysteine, which directly leads to a decrease in GM atrophy, thereby slowing cognitive decline. Our results show that B-vitamin supplementation can slow the atrophy of specific brain regions that are a key component of the AD process and that are associated with cognitive decline.

Why isn't this on the front page of every newspaper (or trending on Bing/Google)......IE B-Vitamins keep our Brain Healthy!

I don't get it......it seems obvious to me.....IF you have STRESS in your life......you have B-Vitamin problem and a Magnesium deficiency etc.......because they happen together from Low/NO Stomach Acid.

Where it is well known without Intrinsic Factor made by the stomach we become low in B-12 and strong stomach acid to help us absorb B-12 IE to Methylate it......we ge low in B-12!

But you become low in B-2 before this happens......as noted by the Riboflavin connection to the MTHFR gene defect which is really a Riboflavin/B-2 Deficiency being diagnosed as genetic condition instead!

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

Posterboy by the grace of God,

Scott,

 I left off a few references that will be helpful to the next reader.

Other researchers' have said similar things about Riboflavin role in controlling Homocysteine levels and thus the Pathogenesis of Parkinson's Disease.

Here is a recent article about it.

Entitled "Riboflavin Has Neuroprotective Potential: Focus on Parkinson's Disease and Migraine"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28775706/#:~:text=Despite being underestimated%2C riboflavin offers neuroprotective mechanisms. Significant,can be tackled through riboflavin proposed neuroprotective mechanisms.

Again I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.
