    Celiac.com 12/12/2022 - Atopic dermatitis is associated with immune dysregulation, but epidemiological data on the pattern of autoimmune comorbidity in people with atopic dermatitis are limited.

    A team of researchers recently set out to determine the risk of autoimmune conditions in people newly diagnosed with atopic dermatitis.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    The research team included Simon de Lusignan, MD; Helen Alexander, BSc, MBBS; Conor Broderick, MB, BCh, BAO, MSc; Andrew McGovern, MD; Claire Feeney, PhD; Carsten Flohr, PhD. They are variously affiliated with theNuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom; the Royal College of General Practitioners Research and Surveillance Centre, London, United Kingdom; the Unit for Population-Based Dermatology Research, St John’s Institute of Dermatology, Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London, London, United Kingdom; the Momentum Data, Pendragon House, St Albans, United Kingdom; and with Pfizer Ltd, Tadworth, United Kingdom.

    A Retrospective Cohort Analysis

    The team used the the UK-based Oxford–Royal College of General Practitioners Research and Surveillance Centre primary care database to conduct a retrospective cohort analysis that covered the period from January 2009 to December 2018. 

    They compared baseline rates and incidents after diagnosis of autoimmune conditions in nearly 175,000 children and adults with new-onset atopic dermatitis, and nearly 700,000 control subjects, matched for age, sex, and general practitioner practice. 

    Outcomes were a composite of any autoimmune condition, including Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, pernicious anemia, type 1 diabetes, autoimmune hypothyroidism, Graves disease, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren syndrome, vitiligo, alopecia areata, and multiple sclerosis, and each individual autoimmune condition.

    Their Findings

    The team found that people diagnosed with atopic dermatitis were more likely to have an existing autoimmune condition, compared to control subjects. 

    Once the team eliminated patients with preexisting autoimmune disease, they found a connection between atopic dermatitis and cases of new-onset autoimmune disease. Patients with more severe atopic dermatitis faced a greater risk than those with moderate or mild atopic dermatitis. 

    People with atopic dermatitis also faced a significantly higher risk for psoriatic arthritis, Sjögren syndrome, Crohn disease, vitiligo, alopecia areata, pernicious anemia, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and hypothyroidism, but not for other autoimmune conditions.

    Conclusions

    From their results, the team concludes that people with atopic dermatitis, especially those with severe atopic dermatitis, face significantly higher risk for developing numerous other autoimmune conditions.

    To All,

    Niacin has been shown to treat Atopic Dermatitis.

    See this research about it....

    Entitled "Pellagra occurring in a patient with atopic dermatitis and food allergy"

    https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1468-3083.2006.01871.x

    From the right column bottom of above citation.......can't copy and paste it.....so I will type relevant part...

    Quoting

    "Oral Nicotinamide and a Vitamin B (complex) were commenced. Within a week their rash had resolved".

    Pretty convincing proof IMHO!

    This has been found to be true for Psorisas too!

    See this research entilted "Nicotinamide: a potential addition to the anti-psoriatic weaponry"

    https://faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1096/fj.03-0002hyp?journalCode=fasebj&legid=fasebj%3B17%2F11%2F1377&related-urls=yes

    IN Short if you have skin involvement Niacinamide should be one of the first Vitamins you trial.......better yet take a B-Complex.....(Because you will be low in ALL your B-Vitamins) if you are low in Niacinamide.

    I wrote a Posterboy blog post about this......we have ONE Immune System with many faces.....like in Lupus.

    Just like Pellagra It has 3 Faces.....with the Skin Issues being the most visual and recognizable by doctor's today......but they are so "Myopic" in their Vision......they ONLY see it (Pellagra) if you are Homeless or an Acoholic.....or instead you get Lupus or Sjorgens Disease etc.....or Atopic Dermatitis or Psorsias etc.....and you immnue system never heals.....

    Take (learn form LUPUS)......Niacin helps it too!

    Or it goes misdiagnsoed as many other Skin issues! Yes even as DH in some cases......

    See this reasearch about it entitled "NICOTINICACID (aka Niacin) THERAPYOFDERMATITISHERPETIFORMIS"

    I didn't capitalize it (title) that is how they wrote in the original research.

    https://www.jidonline.org/article/S0022-202X(15)50482-X/pdf

    That are other things I could quote from the article but I want you to read it for youself....and the formatting when you copy doesn't come over just right......so I have to edit it.....so I just choose this quick summary because it is instructive to you/me/us.

    But this says it all to me!

    Quoting

    "Niacin was prescribed in small doses, later increased to 0.1Gm  four times daily.  When
    seen 3 weeks later the skin showed complete remission of active lesions and she was free
    from itching."

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

    As always, “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included.

    2 Timothy 2:7

    Large Study Reveals Connection Between Atopic Dermatitis and Celiac Disease
    Celiac.com 11/20/2019 - Both atopic dermatitis and celiac disease are often accompanied by other immune-mediated disorders. A team of researchers recently set out to see if they could find a connection between atopic dermatitis and celiac disease in a broad community-based population.
    The research team included Guy Shalom, Khalaf Kridin, Keren-Or Raviv, Tamar Freud, Doron Comaneshter, Rivka Friedland, Arnon D. Cohen, and Dan Ben-Amitai.

    Atopic Dermatitis More Common in Adults with Multiple Autoimmune Diseases
    Celiac.com 01/04/2021 - Researchers have long known that the common chronic skin disorder atopic dermatitis is associated with other atopic conditions. A growing body of evidence supports a connection with non-atopic conditions, including autoimmune diseases, such as celiac disease, but data are limited with respect to autoimmune conditions. To remedy the situation, a research team recently examined the connection between atopic dermatitis and autoimmune diseases.
    The research team included L.U. Ivert, C.F. Wahlgren, B. Lindelöf, H. Dal, M. Bradley, and E.K. Johansson. They are variously affiliated with the Dermatology and Venereology Unit, Department of Medicine Solna, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden; the unit of Dermatology, Theme Inflammation and Infection, Karolinska Un...

    AIP Diet Can Help Some People with Celiac Disease and Other Autoimmune Conditions
    Celiac.com 06/03/2021 - With autoimmune conditions on the rise, and concerns about inflammatory conditions growing, more and more people are looking for dietary alternatives to promote immune health and fight inflammation, especially for those with autoimmune conditions. There have been a number of diets aimed at health improvement, but not many focused on autoimmune conditions. The latest approach to using diet to help people improve symptoms of autoimmune conditions is called the Autoimmune protocol diet (AIP diet).
    What is the AIP Diet?
    The AIP diet is a nutrition plan to help people with autoimmune conditions lessen symptoms and improve their quality of life. The AIP diet eliminates foods that may worsen symptoms or increase inflammation.
    The AIP diet is designed...
