  1. Why did I call this post “Time for a Vitamin Reformation”? I see this a lot. So I wanted to write more about it. I share/write these posterboy blog post’s so that others might not have to suffer the same things’ I have. As always I hope you find it helpful to learn how/what someone else did to help their own selves in this journey/road we all walk/or have walked on as a Celiac Disease/NCGS patient. I know this post is way too long (again) as usual but I had a lot of ground to cover. So hang on if you can and will and if you have an interest in learning how I became the posterboy for Celiac and Pellagra. Learn from my mistakes! Quoting the Celiac and now Pellagra Posterboy “No man is so dumb as the man/woman who won’t learn from other people’s mistakes.” I have made too many (mistakes) to count. Take as much honey (knowledge) as you can from my mistakes so bad (lack of knowledge) health will not sting your quality of life. Is it any wonder God’s promised’ land was described as a land flowing with milk and honey? Where knowledge (truth) flows there is health of mind and body. Truth of the right diagnosis can free us from the error of a wrong diagnosis. SADLY! Few listen. But some (Pellagrins’) who have received a Celiac diagnosis co-morbid have heard (listened to) the good news that Pellagra is reversible (when it is mimicking Celiac disease in a clinical setting) and have gotten better. Don’t be the Last! Tell others! So again Why did I call this post “Time for a Vitamin Reformation”? Most people (in the US anyway if you are reading this in some other country) are aware of the Protestant Reformation but most people are not as aware of the Catholic Reformation. Where basically the Catholic’s got smart? If you will and said all these Protestant’s are writing books (fresh off the invention of Gutenberg’s printing press (the internet of their day)) and the Catholic church said let us start printing our own books about how great the Catholic church is plus some minor changes essentially stopped the reformation in it’s tracks. And today there is still 1 Billion (with a Bee Catholics in this world. (I am not against either by the way) this is only by the way of illustration. I had recently wrote a blog post about this why Supplementation wins the War but I wanted to take another stab at it again. And even though I will have only used Vitamin(s) in this post. I want it to be clear this is for Vitamins and Minerals . . . like Iron, Magnesium, Calcium etc. It is just easier to type/write colloquially to use Vitamins to stand in for both Vitamins and Minerals together. See any of my comments or Ennis_Tx’s about Magnesium taken as Magnesium Citrate or Magnesium Glycinate. And why it is easy for the Protestant’s to claim a victory of sorts (there are Protestants still right) it is a pyrrhic victory at best because according to answers.com Catholics outnumber Protestant’s 2 to 1. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070213184757AAHuhGz If you don’t still don’t believe me visit some of the old Cathedral’s of Europe you guessed it nearly all of them are Catholic Cathedral’s. Back to our point about Vitamins needing a Reformation. Such is the reign of Genetics today we blame it (our Genes) for everything today. Yet new research indicates maybe less than 1/3 of cancer’s day has anything to with Genetics at all. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2015/01/02/study-concludes-that-many-cancers-caused-by-bad-luck-in-cell-division.html Why this research is old it highlights my point that lifestyle (nutrition/vitamins etc) can and do help prevent Cancer today even in this GENETIC age we live in. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/lifestyle-changes-can-prevent-40-of-cancers-study/ To quote them from cbsnews “”We didn’t expect to find that eating fruit and vegetables (VItamin rich foods my words) would prove to be so important in protecting men against cancer,” Parkin said in the statement. … “This adds to the now overwhelmingly strong evidence that our cancer risk is affected by our lifestyles,” Dr Rachel Thompson, deputy head of science for the World Cancer Research Fund, told The Guardian. “ We hope this study helps to raise awareness of the fact that cancer (sickness) is not simply a question of fate (it’s in our genes my words) and that people can make changes today that can reduce their risk of developing cancer in the future.” My point is we need to be saying. Nutrition (Vitamins’ make us healthy) and not let Genetics get all the credit these day’s this includes our GI health too! I believe. It is actually probably more true too realize/say the balance is 50/50 because stress/environment effect both our health and yes even Genes. I think of it in these terms. A Vitamin is a substance we need in a “Min”ium” amount without which we become sick. I understand completely there is a lot of confusion about this topic. I will provide you some of the sources that lead/helped me come to my conclusions. Dr Prousky’s research is what I based my conclusion’s on and helped me to realize my Celiac Disease with/where he concluded “Niacin treats digestive problems” could also be confused for Low Stomach Acid. http://www.yourhealthbase.com/database/a124b.htm This is the link to the abstract. I realized this was going to be a future post when I saw Ennis_Tx muse about this question in a previous thread. Digestion is a north south process and it begins to make much more sense when you begin to understand the stomach protects your Small Intestine and if your defense are low (low stomach acid) when it is commonly thought to be high invading proteins like lactose, soy, and gluten etc. get through. http://divinehealthfromtheinsideout.com/2012/03/digestion-101/ Try a low carb (i.e. and also gluten free) diet for about a month and see if you flare ups don’t improve I think you will find your trigger is gluten and carbs. If so this will work but you will have to come to this conclusion on your own. It took me 3 years of study to understand these things God being my help. 2 Timothy 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. If you are now taking an acid reducer/proton pump inhibitor (I can’t lie) there will be a transition period. They all have a wall effect (burning when stopped) that often lock people in to using them for years and years when they were only intended to be used for 6 weeks or less to let ulcer’s heal. Actually on the OTC kind people usually buy without a prescription. It is even less than that. Only 14 days is recommended. . . . not 14 months ++ as is so often the case for people when they begin an acid reducer. See the FDA box warning. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drugsafety/ucm245011.htm It will take courage and conviction on your part to take a Vitamin when all you hear these days’ that the “average” person doesn’t need a Vitamin. (see link below about why all the hate for Celiac’ drug/medicine treatment?/ trials?) by Jefferson Adams which inspired my title. https://www.celiac.com/articles/24099/1/Why-All-the-Hate-for-Celiac-Disease-Drug-Treatments/Page1.html Or put another way why ‘all the hate” for Vitamins? these days” instead of “Time for a Vitamin Reformation” (though I believe it is. .. I am also convenienced) it will take another generation to realize Pellagra is now being diagnosed as Celiac disease today instead. It takes a generation to make a change unless there is Education. This posterboy blog post is about that education process/the things I have learned from studying this subject myself. Do not change any of your supplementation/medical regime unless you have consulted with a doctor. . . but I found it helped me. The ignorance of this fact that Pellagra can occur with/in/as part of a Celiac diagnosis is so strong that so much so the “average joe” won’t take a Vitamin for their health? Well an IBS/NGCS patient/ Celiac Patient is not the average patient. They are known to develop malabsorption syndromes and B Vitamins are known to help celiac patient’s why wouldn’t you at least try a B-Vitamin or B-Complex to see if could help your GI symptom’s. https://www.celiac.com/articles/21783/1/B-Vitamins-Beneficial-for-Celiacs-on-Gluten-Free-Diet/Page1.html (though this study does not include the effects of full spectrum B-complex) it would have been nice if it did. I ask again “Who’s Afraid of a B Vitamin” See my earlier posterboy blog post about this topic Or to ask it rhetorically why all the hate for Vitamins these day (reader)? Or you (reader) afraid of a Vitamin? Or have you been too (reader) taught to hate Vitamins? And it isn’t just Niacinamide by the way (which is the focus of this post) it is most B-Vitamins. See this article about how B-1 Thiamine can help reverse Kidney Damage in Type 2 Diabetes http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7796073.stm Entitled “Thiamine ‘reverses Kidney Damage’ in Type 2 Diabetes” As usual this research is almost 10 years old and doctor’s clinical practices have not caught on to this fact proven by research. Instead the standard reply is “you don’t need Vitamins” or at least the average person does not. People who have TD2 or Celiac disease should not be considered the average person. Let me say at this point. Why is this not on the front page of every newspaper in the US and the UK and the world. Here we have a Vitamin that reversed Kidney Damage but no one is talking about it. What is not considered or well understood that these same vitamins that can help these patients – a deficiency in these same vitamins can also cause these same symptom’s. http://glutenfreeworks.com/blog/2010/06/23/niacin-vitamin-b3-deficiency-in-celiac-disease/ Now back to Niacinamide for a few minutes. What if had a Vitamin that was known to treat GI problems? We do but clinical practice has not yet again caught up with the research. That is why Prousky’s research is so ground breaking and misunderstood because the same vitamin (commonly misunderstood) associated with these problems has been proven to help the same problems it (Vitamin B3) has been thought to cause … though not commonly (well) understood Niacin treats digestive problems. http://www.yourhealthbase.com/database/a124b.htm *****I must say at this point this is not medical advice only my experience with Niacinmaide See my previous posterboy blog post about how the average clinical delay is 17 years in implementing new research into doctor’s protocols’/treatment regimens. This clinical gap is a devastating delay. And also I want to make this disclaimer. The default (thought) here is you are not taking Niacin or any version of B-3 (in its many forms) or have either not taken it for Cholesterol management previously or are now taking it for your GI problems. If you are now taking Niacinamide/Niacin etc. this post does/is not directed at you (or other Vitamins/Minerals) for that matter . . . like Magnesium or Iron etc. Also see my posterblog post about how supplementing can help you fight a two front war. Any Vitamin or Mineral can be taken to excess . . . contributing to a worsening of your conditon.. . including Niacinamide, Iron, Calcium etc. This comment/thread is directed to those who have not yet considered supplementation previously. And with the intent you will only take this for a cycle of time. Say 4 to 6months for most people or 6 to 12 months max for the most severe forms of this disease. See this link where it explains how “up to 12 months” B-Vitamins helps improved/improves moods for those who are depressed. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7477807 Reader, Do some of the research of I have listed here and if you still feel the same way. I get it. I have been on that same journey. But this is not as uncommon or unplausible as it might sound. The “House TV” show/medical drama noted this fact in their episode on Celiac Disease. Google House season 2 episode 22 on Celiac disease entilted “Forever” and you will find articles about it and probably a link to watch it. I think it would be enlightening to see how these two diseases are entangled like Siamese twins. When digestion works properly the God given burp is produced (not soda’s) but you burp like a healthy child at 6 months of age so too will an adult when they take Niacinamide (the nonflushing form of Vitamin B-3) for 6 months 2/day (especially if you are not taking PPIs currently). Your results might be different but you won’t know unless you try it. When I began my journey I was/became known as the posterboy for Celiac disease. What it has turned into unexpectedly is me being/becoming the posterboy for Pellagra too! It (Pellagra in Celiac’s) is not as rare as people think it is today especially 2ndary Pellagra caused by your original Celiac diagnosis since Vitamin absorption is frequently compromised in Celiac’s. I always have to say. **** This is not medical advice and should not be considered such. Results may vary. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your medical regimen. But I have found (and my friends have found) if you take it (Niacinamide) like an antibiotic (UNTIL BURPING) then 95% of your GI stress will be in remission. And I don’t mean twenty minutes after you have eaten but 2+ hours later when burping has replaced burping and bloating that start’s almost as soon as you take you first bite. Or burping that occurs with drinking soda or a carbonated drink. Again I say 2 Timothy 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” I hope this is helpful. Posterboy by the Grace of God, That is all for now until the next post. (Whenever that is) but the intent of this/theses post’s is “Too Educate” and anyone of my posterboy blog posts could help you without the need to read all my posterboy blog posts??? So I am sorry if I run a little long some times. . . but people need to know if this is the only blog post they read. . . Pellagra in Celiac’s can be successfully treated with supplementation or AKA a Vitamin Reformation (in the way we think) about GI problems according to Prousky who almost 17 years ago proved Niacinamide can help those with low stomach acid misdiagnosed. Will you listen? and take the Niacinamide Challenge taking it until you are burping 2 hours after you finish a meal. This usually takes 3 to 4 months taken it 3/day or morning and evening and (one hour before) bedtime (if it is not convenient to bring to work) works well for most people. This tends to be one 300 count bottle for most people. Though a smaller amount might work I want you to have a positive experience and thus recommend conservatively a 3 month to 4 month cycle – the amount your body can typically store in your liver – thus helping to reset your body’s stress clock (my words). This schedule works well for Magnesium as well. . . and usually it (Magnesium Citrate/Glycinate) causes restful dreaming in the first month of taking it. The power to change is in your hand for “To Educate is to Free” As always remember **** This is not medical advice and should not be considered such. Results may vary. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your medical regimen. But I have found (and friends have found) if you take it (Niacinamide) like an antibiotic (UNTIL BURPING) then 95% of your GI stress will be in remission. It is time for a Vitamin Reformation (a change in the way we think about Vitamins – a shift in our paradigm) praise bee to God! Back to when in the 20th century they understood Vitamins make us healthy! They even gave Nobel Prizes for discovering these substances called Vitamin(s) and rightly so! If this is the case for you – you the reader also have/had developed 2ndary Pellagra due to your primary diagnosis of Celiac disease. See my earlier posterboy blog post where I talked about my experience of developing Pellagra 2ndarly to my Celiac diagnosis. All those who have ears to hear may they listen! Feel free to read all my posterboy blog post’s if this pique’s your curiosity/interest but there is only so much in a/one blog post than can be explained but it really Is not necessary or visit the website/blog in my profile where I have told the same story hundreds of time that ONE fellow sufferer like myself may/might be helped by the same wisdom, I found God being my help, when I learned Pellagra and Celiac disease are Siamese twins and separating one (supplementing one to death) will kill the other (cause the other to go into remission). Also see my posterboy blog post of how I supplemented Pellagra to death/into remission. Noted above (earlier) in this post but provided here again for easy reference. And I believe you can too! Praise bee to God! 2 Corinthians (KJV) 1:3,4 3) “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4) who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them (fellow sufferer) which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” Posterboy by the Grace of God, 2 Timothy 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. As always it is in this spirit of truth that I share so that others like my-self might not have to suffer the same things I did.
  2. Medical Mysteries and Shadowlands the Posterboys Story of how he unlocked help co-morbid Pellagra God being his help from his Celiac diagnosis. May you find the same faith in your life for to Educate is to truly Free! How to determine if it is a complementary or competing diagnosis? It takes faith to free yourself from a comorbidity. Health is like faith . . . you will only do what you believe. And you can have only faith in what you know to do. As some long time members of celiac.com know most/many of my blog posts’ document my trials and tribulations with Low Stomach Acid often being misdiagnosed as high stomach acid today). I have like many of you on this board had severe GI symptom’s culminating in a Celiac diagnosis after 30+ years of IBS and/or NCGS symptom’s. Only to find out that taking BetaineHCL (powdered stomach acid) helped alleviate many of my symptoms’. **** Let me say that this does not negate my positive Celiac/NCGS (really positive blood test only) diagnosis. I am in the medical world something termed a “Zebra” or “idiopathic” would be a more correct term/diagnosis. These GI conditions were happening for an “unknown reason” . . . Low stomach acid being misdiagnosed as HIGH stomach acid instead. Think the “House” TV show which I don’t get to see much anymore but commonly took several “differential diagnosis’s” to determine the correct one. While any of the previous diagnosis had a valid conclusion they ultimately were wrong. (But in TV land . . . . everybody finally gets the right diagnosis and gets better as if my magic it seems) but if you have ever read the Washington post’s “Medical Mysteries” column you know that is far, far from the real world sometimes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/a-bad-diagnosis/2015/08/24/b17606c2-12ac-11e5-89f3-61410da94eb1_story.html Often we/us “‘Zebras” exist in some “shadow land” as described well in this NYtime times article here discussing the difference between “The Damage of Bile Reflux not (Stomach) Acid” http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/30/health/30brod.html quoting “The symptoms are similar to heartburn, and many sufferers are told they have gastroesophageal reflux disease, known as acid reflux. Yet treatment with popular remedies for acid reflux, like the acid-suppressing proton-pump inhibitors Prilosec, Prevacid and Nexium, fails to work or gives only partial relief. That’s because acid reflux is, at most, only part of the problem. The main culprit is bile reflux, a back-up of digestive fluid that is supposed to remain in the small intestine, where it aids the digestion of fats.” However if low stomach acid continues to be treated like HIGH stomach acid instead . . . no real progress is made and people become locked into a (bad) misdiagnosis. I have been that person. I know what it is like to receive one bad diagnosis after another. Co-morbidity is a real medical condition where more than one disease exists in a person and because of “preconceived notions” one disease is not being treated because the other “Primary” disease is considered secondary to the first. See my blog post about how this “devastating delay” can delay healing in recognizing the correct morbidity. Or can we identify the real/correct diagnosis in the first place. Maybe? Or Maybe Not? I am not saying this will help “All” your problems but it will help your co-morbidity. My co-morbidity was Pellagra occurring with/because of my Primary NCGS/Celiac diagnosis or as I said in another blog post I had Celiac disease and developed Pellagra. Or was it I had Pellagra and was diagnosed as a Celiac? How could I know for sure? I could supplement with the missing ingredient that leads to Pellagra in time. And if I got better then I had addressed a common co-morbidity in celiac disease. See my blog post where I explain how to win this two front war. I have found (digestive) peace praise be to God! Now I don’t’ expect this to work for everyone who try’s it but I didn’t anticipate the amount of resistance or faith it would take for people to consider a valid “differential diagnosis” either. It turns out without faith . . . people can’t get better. I will say it again “Health is like faith . . . you can only do what you believe”. What do I mean by that? Read most any post from Ennis_Tx and he will faithfully tell you about Magnesium. . . though few believe him (often) he faithfully tells it (because it helped him). I didn’t know what was happening at the time. I was witnessing the Pike Syndrome in action . . .until it happened to me. I naively believed . . . tell other’s and they will believe. Not so young padawan . . . you can have the knowledge to help other’s but until they know how much you care . . . they don’t care how much you know. I had come up against the greatest force in the (medical) world)) and maybe the world in general (I speak as a man) . . . inertia/apathy also called “learned helplessness”. Better known as the “Pike Syndrome” (Anybody who has received a misdiagnosis . . .. later on to find out your IBS is now NCGS or your NCGS is now Celiac disease this post is for you. Think if you had received a Celiac diagnosis in the beginning how much suffering you could of avoided over all these years.) Explained well here at a motivational coaches site https://jcrowcoaching.com/2012/02/01/that-pike-experiment-is-downright-chilling/ I will quote short pieces/clips to explain quickly what I mean but read it all for your selves for a more comprehensive understanding of this concept. “Known as the Pike Syndrome, it’s a great, albeit depressing, example of learned helplessness. There’s a pike in a tank of water along with a dozen doomed minnows. Sure enough, the pike darts and snaps and gorges. Poof, the minnows are nowhere to be found and the pike is pretty satisfied. Enter these two exceptionally perky researchers who proceed to lower a glass barrier into the tank and slip in another dozen minnows. Like any self-respecting pike, this fish is thinking “lunch,” and goes after them with gusto. Except he smacks his nose against the glass and comes up empty-handed (so to speak). Again. And again. Finally, the pike sinks to the bottom of the tank, suspends himself in the water and stops trying. That’s when these researchers (and really, they’re so happy they’re scary) remove the glass barrier, freeing the minnows to swim wherever they like. And where they like includes all around the motionless pike, right in front of his nose, even bumping into his head. And the pike? He just sits there and never again tries to eat a minnow. And he starves.” To many times in life there are “invisible barriers” in our lives’ holding us back. . . This is to those who have lost hope or are still searching (hopefully) if you are reading this blog post for yourself or a friend who has developed NCGS or Celiac disease. Gluten is your minnow (with good reason) but if you have Pellagra too (that invisible barrier) can be removed by supplementation. IF your now suffering from Celiac and Pellagra the way I was then taking Niacinamide will remove the Pellagra barrier in your GI quest to get better and find GI peace from Pellagra for yourself the way I have. How do we know if it really can be Pellagra instead? It is as simple as Occam’s Razor. From Wikipedia 1. “Occam's razor is a problem-solving principle attributed to William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347), who was an English Franciscan friar and scholastic philosopher and theologian. The principle can be interpreted as stating Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected.” The correct diagnosis is the simplest one to diagnose. Pellagra can be simply treated by supplementation. AND (a witness of two is true) IF you have developed a CORN allergy in addition to your gluten allergy you have met the medical definition of Pellagra 75+ years ago lost now to medical history. See Dr. Heaneys’ great blog post summarizing this fact about Pellagra and the 4 Ds. http://blogs.creighton.edu/heaney/2013/11/18/pellagra-and-the-four-ds/ I will say it again “The correct diagnosis is the simplest to diagnosis”/simplest to treat in a co-morbid condition. . . where there is some doubt as to the true diagnosis. And supplementation removes that barrier if indeed you have also developed a corn allergy I beg you to consider taking Niacinamide 2 or 3/day (whichever is easier/ with each meal or morning and evening) for 6months to see if your GI problems don’t improve the way mine did after 30+ years of suffering from a Vitamin deficiency. Or if you are still suffering from a “poor prognosis” and poor dietary compliance (seemingly) though you have tried your best (you really have) and are still failing at achieving remission then consider the differential diagnosis of Pellagra is all I ask. Also see this thread about a Celiac starfish/zebra who is suffering still from Pellagra misdiagnosed as Celiac disease (I believe) and is shocked her Ttg levels are still elevated. quoting/paraphrasing from the earlier Pike Syndrome article christina this post is for you. “The thing is, unlike that starving pike, we have the power to change our perspectives, challenge the accuracy of our beliefs, and question our views. It’s not necessarily easy. Sometimes it takes an outsider to help . . . .who will push and prod and challenge. If we’re lucky something inside of us nudges at our unconscious until we move, and try, and change our views”… /belief(s) about our/your bad diagnosis. You will only know if you try! I pray you will have the faith to try! If it could help why wouldn’t you at least try? You are not a Pike! As always 2 Timothy 2: 7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Remember **** This is not medical advice and should not be considered such. Results may vary. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your regimen Change is not easy . . especially if you have developed/are suffering from the Pike Syndrome I grant . . . but possible with education for with education comes understanding. 2 Corinthians (KJV) 1:3,4 3) “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4) who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble (Pike/sufferer still suffering), by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” Posterboy by the grace of God, *****Note: I have said all I have intended to say. I speak as a man. Badly misquoting Romans 10:14 How then shall they change their stars/diagnosis in what they have not believed/heard? and how shall they believe in what they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:14 "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" I have spoken/preached to other’s still suffering with/about a diagnosis I did not receive that helped me. I hope it helps you too the way it did me. Pellagra – Like Celiac Disease has existed in the Shadowlands as a Medical Mystery for way too long! Find out which is the correct diagnosis is by supplementing with Niacinamide 3/day for 6 months I beg of you until BURPING two hours after a meal is your new normal and the “Natural Order of Things” have been restored. If this has "Piked" your interest you can read best how to take Niacinamide by reading this blog post. You are not a Pike! You can decide for yourself. Knowledge is power! Now that you know what else Celiac Disease could be what will you do with this knowledge? Will you sink to the bottom of the tank or try to bust through that glass barrier (which isn’t there) but in your mind if Pellagra is now being diagnosed as Celiac disease and the doctors have badly misdiagnosed this Medical Mystery (Pellagra) and you have been found to exist in the Shadowlands of Medicine. Then there is hope! This is not as far off as it might sound on a first hearing. See Season 2 Episode 22 “Forever” listed as episode 44 see link below of the medical TV drama “House” the “Differential Diagnosis” /Final Diagnosis was Pellagra for the Episode on Celiac Disease. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_(season_2) Feel free to comment and add your success stories when you begin burping w/o bloating for the first time in years and years so others too can be helped from your experience. Like I am sharing now. Praise bee to God if you have considered what I said and are willing to try it (taking Niacinamide) for yourself or your little pike if you are a parent and still searching for answer's for your little one until . . . burping is their/your new normal. I only know it helped me. I can't be the only one. If I am let it not be because I did not share! A witness of of two is true! Both you and your tyke take it (Niacinamide) at the same rate/amount 2/day or 3/day (whichever is easiest) and you will begin burping together -- a confirming sign that the Vitamin is making a difference and Pellagra is fading away into medical history for you in approx. 3 months. 2: 7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things”

  4. Is Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and/or Celiac disease really Pellagra in disguise in the 21st Century? Whether to supplement or to not supplement by the Posterboy What to say? What not to Say? So many things to cover. . . yet so little time/room for it in only one post. Let me be clear. I think it is or was in my case. That is I think one disease lead to the other. Your story might be similar. Which one to choose? Supplementation I think answers/answered that question (for me) at least. And I hope it will you too! In the work place we have a phenomenon called “Silos”. “That is not my job” is heard way too often. Instead of let me see if I can help you with that! Right? It would be called or known as good Customer Service if we were in business for ourselves to offer help. But not in medicine . . . it is stay off my territory/turf and an all-out war breaks out. But when it comes to diseases/symptom’s that are or can be “Differential Diagnosis” we have that same bunker mentality or “Silos” thinking. Talk to your friends who have NCGS or Celiac disease (and I have tried) and inevitably they will say . . . I do not have Celiac . . . I have IBS or I am not a Celiac (yet) I have NCGS instead. Or talk to a UC patient (stuck) in their Silo (diagnosis) or a Chron’s patient . . . and the lament is the same. I do not have that. It is almost a knee jerk reaction. “I can’t have that”. I know because I have tried diligently to educate my friends and many forum members on this board of how Pellagra makes more sense when you stop and ask seriously “What else”? can/could cause these/my symptom’s. I recommend this thread/post where other forum members staunchly defend their silos/bunkers. In it NCGS, SIBO and Pellagra sufferers battle to the proverbial death over their positions. Let me say at this point???? Who knows who is right? Captain NCGS could be right or SIBO girl could be right or all three could be right! But it is better to settle on one diagnosis (usually) and run with it so to speak. And each in turn have faithly done this and ran to their bunkers to get more fuel for the fight? (SIBO girl) I am sorry I don’t know the percentage for SIBO that becomes’ Celiac or Pellagra. But for IBS and NCGS the failure rate(s) are horrible. For weatherman we would be happy with 50/50 right? (though they are getting somewhat better these days) A good baseball player is said to be good when he bats .300 or better. He is doing good. Well in Celiac’s we are still well below that number. We are not doing good at catching Celiac or is it Pellagra early enough in the sub-clinical phase? where it could prevent the most harm! See this post where 90% of Celiac’s in Canada is missed or Misdiagnosed. https://www.celiac.com/articles/24919/1/Are-Doctors-Missing-90-of-Celiac-Disease-Cases/Page1.html quoting “Among their findings is likely ~1%, with 87% of cases being undiagnosed.” And the rate in the US is only marginally better at maybe 80% being misdiagnosed. They even pose this important question? “Why? Or How could this be?” They are puzzled at such a high misdiagnosis of Celiac disease. Quoting again “How could this be? One reason is that even classic celiac disease symptom, such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, anemia and weight loss can mimic other conditions. Less classic symptoms such as fatigue, low vitamin C, D and calcium levels can be misleading.” Lupus is known as the great imitator disease. And Celiac or is it Pellagra could be called the same in 87% of cases if you are lucky. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well not in this case (it is all out war). One disease is being disguised at the other. Which one to choose though since they both imitate each other. For me supplementation let me see which was the last disease/man standing so to speak. But let’s go back to our bunker(s) of symptom’s and defend/ask/consider how in 87% of cases we know we have the wrong disease. https://www.celiac.com/articles/24058/1/Large-Number-of-Irritable-Bowel-Syndrome-Patients-Sensitive-to-Gluten/Page1.html As to/for the IBS sufferers If you are having NCGS symptom’s (Marsh Lesion) aka Rome III lesions then why is the diagnosis not NCGS instead of IBS? The problem is most NCGS (apparently 84%) is misdiagnosed as IBS in a large number of cases or possibly just UC or other GI disease presumably. It is even worse in NCGS cases. https://www.celiac.com/articles/24448/1/Gluten-Definitely-Triggers-Symptoms-in-Some-NCGS-Patients/Page1.html 90% + of NCGS have the wrong diagnosis . . . but don’t point that to anyone because “I don’t have that disease” artillery will come out and blast you into smitherins. In the military it is called “friendly fire” whatever that means right. You can’t make anybody happy it seems. I am a “friendly” here. Tell someone (a Chron’s) patient they could have Celiac and duck for cover because “friendly fire” explodes. Pick your “poison”. . . IBS, UC, Chron’s, NCGS, SIBO etc. and be prepared to be gunned down in cold blood (forgive the analogy) lest you suggest somehow in some way a “differential diagnosis” makes more sense. A valid I dare say standard “process” of modern/good medicine is the differential diagnosis. If it is not the doctor has not done justice for you or you for yourself has not done you justice. Isn’t that what we all want – to know just what we need to do to get better that is justice/peace and good medicine. We are our own best advocate! Supplementation to me answer's that question and Is good customer service. Think of/about the show House who inevitably get’s the diagnosis wrong the first time and the second time and maybe (if it is not a two part episode) by the fourth or fifth try we learn an hour later what took months to determine you (the patient) has NCGS, SIBO, Chron’s, or Celiac disease etc. and the patient goes way coming in feeling crappy but goes away happy! Oh wouldn’t it be nice if “real life” imitated art sometimes. So if the “war” you find yourself in (Chron’s, NCGS, UC, etc. and yes Celiac disease) is imitating Pellagra then consider a “Differential Diagnosis” if you are like the 58% of Celiac’s who also have Pellagra. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ijcd/3/1/6/ Maybe . . . just maybe you will find you are like me and getting a valid differential diagnosis helps your GI problems too! The odds of this happening is (far) better than you think. https://www.celiac.com/articles/24658/1/A-Differential-Diagnosis-How-Pellagra-Can-be-Confused-with-Celiac-Disease/Page1.html I ask again Is Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and/or Celiac disease really Pellagra in disguise in the 21st Century? Let me be clear. I think it is or was in my case. Because if you get the wrong disease the battle (war) in your GI will wager on but if it is Pellagra then the battle can be won. Peace how sweet the sound! If you have not heard of Pellagra and if it was not part of your valid “Differential Diagnosis” http://blogs.creighton.edu/heaney/2013/11/18/pellagra-and-the-four-ds/ Don’t’ be surprised by this most doctors’ have not either. Read Dr. Heaney’s blog posts where he summarizes why this is today! quoting “2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the war on pellagra, a war that lasted nearly 25 of those years before victory could finally be declared. You have not heard of the war on pellagra? The celebration is not on your calendar? You’re not alone. Why did it take so long? Was the science so intractable, like the current “war” on cancer? No. It was politics (differential diagnosis) and pigheadedness (Silos) that were the obstacles.” The science is valid. A Differential Diagnosis is “good” medicine but it will be hard to believe this because of our/are bunker mentality. (I know I have done the same thing) It is said the longest distance/foot in the world is the 12inches from your head to your heart. It only took me 4+ years of research to convince me that more than ever the 90+ percent of the most common GERD/Gluten/NCGS/IBS, Chrons’, Celiac disease issue(s) etc. GI problems are related to sub-clinical presentation of Pellagra unrecognized in a clinical setting. Or imitating first IBS and NCGS then Celiac disease (in time) if you will. If you know in your head something else is still wrong then let your heart be open to another front of the war co-diagnosis/co-morbidity/supplementation. Or if you have/continue(d) to develop more leaks in the dam (leaky gut, SIBO etc. or other food allergies in addition to gluten) then consider Pellagra as a valid differential diagnosis. Especially if CORN is now bothering you too! The medical definition of Pellagra first diagnosed/discovered in corn products 75+ years ago is Pellagra. Since auto-immune diseases rarely occur alone it only makes sense to tackle the easiest one’s first. On this board there are two camps. (It is true in many things of life). Supplementing or not to supplement is the 64K dollar question. The one’s who believes in supplementing readily attack the front (symptom’s) on/from whatever artillery (vitamins and minerals) they can find to shore up their defenses. The other camp prefers to hunker/bunker down and wait for reinforcement/symptom’s to get better and the battle/siege to pass. But in war there is an old saying. “A city besieged is a city taken”. I prefer to advance when possible to take the “fight” to the enemy. Supplementing allows me to do this. .. and this is how I learned to fight back Pellagra disguising itself as Celiac disease today. Disguise is a great trick of the enemy. For if you get the wrong diagnosis then the symptom’s never getting better and the battle/war rages on. But What If you have the wrong disease? Would you get better? This is dedicated to kareng for she once asked me why? worry about a disease I couldn't be sure I had over the one I knew I had. . . without supplementation I couldn't be sure if it was Pellagra or Celiac disease I was fighting. Supplementing answers/ed that question. It removes/d a front in the war. So what do you say are you ready to fight back the enemy? It might not be the one you think. Two front wars are rarely winnable. If they were I might be typing this in German. I need to stop for (now) but this is my story. . . maybe yours is similar you will only know if you are willing to try. I can only tell you what helped me. I can’t tell you if it will help you. Praise bee to God! To those who will hear and listen! Let me say (Thank you) at this point to Jmg. Thank you for taking the Magnesium and a B-complex and telling others how much they helped your "tiredness" etc. . . I know there is a lot of confusion out there. I am just trying to help those who are still suffering (losing the war). For a battle the war was lost. I implore you don’t’ let it (war/diagnosis) be lost because of “pigheadedness” to use Dr. Heaney’s words because you won’t try fighting back with supplementation. The Starfish Story Original Story by: Loren Eisley “One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean (world wide web) … Son, the man said, don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference! After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said "I made a difference for that one.” . . . I hope that one is you reader -- fellow sufferer from a former Pellagra sufferer diagnosed as Celiac disease. I am that Celiac and Pellagra posterboy walking along the shore throwing starfish back or trying too! As I am fond of saying “To Educate is to truly free!” Where there is a free exchange of knowledge there is health and peace for one’s soul and body! Let’s all make peace for to educate is to empower to change. Change is not easy . . especially if you have a bunker mentality I grant . . . but possible with education for with education comes understanding. 2 Corinthians (KJV) 1:3,4 3) “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4) who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble (starfish/sufferer), by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” Remember **** This is not medical advice and should not be considered such.

Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your regimen. 2 Timothy 2: 7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. posterboy by the Grace of God, Addendum: The Time has Come to talk of Walruses and Kings and Many Things (Hat tip to Jmg you know who you are – your wit is priceless) a horrible paraphrase of Lewis Caroll’s quote. I think I am an American who was born with British humor sometimes because who doesn't like a good quip. . . quote or misquote. Like your NCGS bit/disguised as NCIS. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery -- unless it is medicine then it is the unkindest cut. . . (See I can't write a short thread/a long winded American with British wit) Truly the time has come for me to spend some time “mending fences” and spend more time either away on the farm helping my brother or at least a “little time” away somewhere else/doing something else. My changing life requirement(s) and other spiritual interest(s) has/will take/are taking me away from this board more and more till it is less and less. And in time people will ask what ever – happened to “posterboy” and his low stomach acid problems. I can only hope what I have shared here has lifted the tide of knowledge a little about stomach acid issues and your boat/life has been lifted enough for you to freely sail again. Take what you have gained and share. . . at every port you land in . . . who knows what/ where the wind of (life) might take you. I know I will miss many of you on this board but my experience does not match up with many others on this board and I don’t want to impose my ideas where/if they are not wanted or don’t seem to be doing any good. If anyone else thinks they may have low stomach acid who is reading this like I had feel free to PM me and I will try and answer any question I can but searching for the posterboy on celiac.com is the easiest way to find/answer most any question you might have. (For I can’t answer/write) a short thread and always tried to be exhaustive in my answers. I will still comment when from time to time if it feels right and my experience of low stomach acid being misdiagnosed can help those still suffering. https://www.celiac.com/forums/blogs/entry/2106-is-ncgs-andor-celiac-disease-really-low-stomach-acid-misdiagnosed/ It is my hope that at least some starfish/sufferers have found hope/help in the things I have suffered with/and shared about how /what helped me.

Posterboy by the grace of God,
  5. Celiac.com 04/28/2008 - A life-long gluten-free diet is currently the only treatment for celiac disease. However, many foods thought to be gluten-free actually contain small amounts of gluten, making it difficult to maintain a truly gluten-free diet. Gluten is made up of glutenin and gliadin proteins. Gliadin is only partially digested in the small intestine and the resulting peptides are responsible for the inflammation and intestinal tissue damage in people with celiac disease. Because probiotic bacteria have been shown to digest gluten proteins to harmless peptides, supplementation with probiotics may be beneficial for people with celiac disease. To begin testing this hypothesis, researchers in Finland added probiotic bacteria to cultures of intestinal epithelial cells (cells that line the intestine) to determine their effect on gliadin-induced cellular damage. Gliadin-induced damage to intestinal epithelial cells includes increased permeability of the epithelial layer, alteration of tight junctions between cells (which controls the passage of materials across the intestinal wall), and structural changes such as “ruffling” of the cell edges. Two probiotic bacterial species were evaluated: Lactobacillus fermentum and Bifidobacterium lactis. In this study, B. lactis was able to inhibit permeability caused by gliadin. Additionally, both B. lactis and L. fermentum were able to protect against cell ruffling and alterations in tight junctions. The bacteria alone (without gliadin) did not cause any significant changes to the intestinal epithelial cells. Researchers concluded that Bifidobacterium lactis may be a useful addition to a gluten-free diet. Supplementation with this probiotic appears to be able to reduce the damage caused by eating gluten-contaminated foods and may even accelerate healing after initiating a gluten-free diet. It is important to note the researchers do not suggest that supplementation with probiotics could take the place of a gluten-free diet in the treatment of celiac disease. Lindfors et al. Live probiotic Bifidobacterium lactis bacteria inhibit the toxic effects induced by wheat gliadin in epithelial cell culture - Clin Exp Immunol. 2008 Apr 16.
