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.

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."

      New diagnosis

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hello, and welcome to the forum. Getting use to gluten-free eating is a struggle, but it is worth it. Your daughter should begin to feel much better and the fatigue will fade but it can take some time. I am sure you will get lots of suggestions from forum members - we have a few from the UK. I am a bit pushed for time just now but will come back later. Russ

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you so much @suek54 How are you doing today? I spoke too soon yesterday. Something (I can only think gluten-free sweets or a can of soft drink) set me off yesterday. Had a bath, applied some cream, still itching so applied some steroid and was awake until 3am. It's so frustrating. Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I am at work now and going to play it very much on the very safe side with food for the next few days.  My derm appointment is less than a week away. I will update on here because I do feel it important to help others.

      Skin issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. It sounds very stressful, especially when you feel that your symptoms are not being taken seriously. Until you are seen next week, it may help to keep the focus very practical: take clear photos of the skin sores, write down a timeline of symptoms, list all medicines, eye drops, supplements, implants/leak history, and any test results, and bring that to the dermatologist. If there is drainage, spreading redness, fever, worsening pain, eye involvement, or signs of infection, that needs prompt medical care. I would be cautious about assuming parasites or staph without testing, and also cautious with new supplements or putting vitamin C directly on sores, since irritated skin can get worse. A dermatologist can culture lesions, biopsy if needed, and refer to infectious disease if the findings point that way. On the celiac side, I understand your concern for your son, but being HLA-DQ2 positive does not by itself mean he has celiac disease; it means he has a genetic risk. If he is eating gluten now, this is actually the best time for proper celiac blood testing before he tries a gluten-free diet. His symptoms, weight, congestion, and family history are worth discussing with a gastroenterologist, but he should not be told he has celiac based only on HLA status. For your own care, try to keep pushing for objective testing and clear documentation in your records, because that is often what gets doctors to take the next step.
