My main symptom of gluten ingestion is acne. My skin has been acting out in the last weeks, I could not figure out the problem. Well, today I did. I’ve been eating wakame salad lately and I just discovered it’s seasoned with soy sauce.

I always make mistakes, will this ever end?

Any suggestions apart from not eating out?

Thank you! This forum has been always so helpful ❤️

Saf, Were you ever tested for DH?  Do you ever get symmetrical break outs on your body?  My Dermatologist tested me for DH and the results proved I had it as well as celiac.

No, I didn’t get tested but it’s not DH, it’s inflammatory cystic acne. On cheeks, chin, shoulders and back and it’s never symmetrical, it affects more my right shoulder and in the face it switches sides, it depends on  the outbreak.

And after writing this I’ve been recalling last week’s memories because I had wakame salad twice and I remember got diarrhea twice, probably the 2 days after I ate it :((

I have had skin problems due to gluten and also due to Niacin deficiency.  (Nicotinic acid is the form of Vitamin B3 that causes flushing.)  Supplementing with Nicotinic Acid helps immensely to clear my skin.  Vitamins A, D and  C also help.  

Remember cutting out gluten cuts out the vitamins added to gluten containing products.  Discuss with your doctor the benefits of supplementing with vitamins and minerals while healing.

Hello, what supplements and in what dose do you take to help your acne?

I take Life Extension Niacin, 500 mg. 

Make sure the Niacin you get is gluten free and is the kind that causes flushing.

Sof, Knitty Kitty Et Al,

I have been busy with other things lately but I wanted to circle back and give you some important information.

Knitty Kitty has given you GREAT advice.

She have given you the PERFECT Advice!  She beat me too it.....but I wanted to "UNPACK" it a little more.

What she quoted/cited couldn't of been better but most doctor's medical clinicians have not yet incorprated this ground breaking reseasrch into their medical practices.

Here is the research on Niacin role in Acne.....quoted again here for easy reference...

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/314425582_High_dose_niacin_in_the_treatment_of_acne_vulgaris_a_pilot_study

I will quote the whole abstract because it is informative here...

Abstract

"Introduction： Acne patients are frequently associated with abnormal lipid profile. It may be useful to apply high dose of niacin that regulates the lipid profile along with acne treatment. There is no report about high dose of niacin in treatment of acne. Objective： To evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of high-dose niacin in acne vulgaris. Methods Acne patients were randomly allocated to two treatment groups. Both groups were treated orally with the tablets for 12 weeks; the niacin group at an increasing dose of niacin tablet: 2000 mg (40 mg/kg/d). The control group (nicotinamide group) at a dose of nicotinamide tablet: 600 mg (10 mg/kg/d). All patients were asked not to consume certain foods such as milk and alcohol. A high-protein, low-fat and low-glycemic-load diet was recommended in both groups. Results： A total of 108 patients were finished the study. Niacin group: 56 patients; control group: 52 patients. After 12 weeks of treatment, niacin and nicotinamide caused improvement in acne patients. Percentage Improvement in the niacin group (82.37±7.837) %was significantly higher than in the nicotinamide group (63.19±10.18)%, P<0.01. The number of successful cases in the niacin group was significantly higher than in the nicotinamide group after 12 weeks of treatment, (χ 2 = 10.55, P<0.01). Conclusions： High dose niacin can really do it work in treatment of acne vulgaris. The therapeutic effcct of High dose of niacin in treatment of acne vulgaris is more effective than Nicotinamide" which is an alternative spelling of Niacinamide and often the easiest form to find Niacin in often.....because it does not flush the way Niacin (aka Nicotinic Acid) does etc.

There are two things to note here.....both work extremely well when taken "Long Enough" and I would say frequent enough!

With B-Vitamins being water soluble the frequency is much more important than dosage amounts.

And the duration is important here .......12 weeks or approx. 3 months time Niacin as Nicotinic Acid put Acne Vulgaris into remission!

And almost 2/3 of those who took at Niacinamide also saw symptom relief!

Take which ever is the easiest to find and the one you are most comfortable with....

I wrote a blog post about why you would want to take Niacin/Niacinamide in the first place that might be helpful to you if these tips don't help you....or you want to know more about Vitamin B3 commonly known as Niacin.

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

2 Tim 2:7 "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things."

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      If you haven't noticed a difference yet, bump up your Thiamax. Add in another Thiamax with breakfast and lunch. Increase the NeuroMag as well. You can add in another Benfotiamine, too. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Taking more is fine. I had to bump mine up several times when first starting. It's a matter of finding what...

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all. Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy. Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy....

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

I just wish doctors understood. I am with new gi and new pcp but im falling apart because blood work is fabulous.Im so ANGERY.I have reached out to my local representative, in Stanislaus but its just weekly stuff.Im going to need to physical go down there.Any recommendations on what to say and do because this is absolutely ridiculous. If I didn't have my husband though we are really hurting with one income, I would absolutely be one of the homeless population. Thats alarming begging to be heard about a diagnosis that was given as an adult and dealing with this, medical needs to stick to patients regardless of switching insurance or doctor.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      Insomnia help

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.
