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 found some interesting reading....

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."

      I'm not delaying my recovery- I was well on my way to recovering, IF I do have celiac disease by listening to my body and not eating the foods that made me feel ill. the drug I just stopped taking was making me incredibly ill and it's unfortunate and more than  a little frustrating that the dr

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.

      fortunately you don't need to understand anything that doesn't directly affect you.  🤗 you earlier assumed I was deficient in nutrients and minerals due to celiac malabsorption but...... now it doesn't matter? because why? it might mess up your deficiency argument?  if you don't know the difference between having actual celiac disease and NCGS....!!!! correct me if I'm wrong but actual celiac disease causes actual physical damage to your body and increases your risk of certain cancers... just as a start. I have an identical twin sister- IF I have celiac disease, chances are she may too. I have a daughter and other first degree relatives... you also get ADA protections with an actual celiac diagnosis.  but again, not your decision to make  nor to understand. but to suggest that there is no valid reason to find out for sure is incomprehensible on a board dedicated to celiac disease. if you ask me but you didn't so- nevermind.   don't worry though, another member has declared that in her expert opinion based on who knows what- that I don't have celiac!!!  but instead I am "full of beans" and probably killing myself for eating such scary things, I don't know.   if you think you can diagnose me off one single biomarker and a hunch of some sort...based on your history and some research study that you think is relevant- um, well, Glad to meet you, Dr McCoy aka Bones. 🫠 I did not know this was a place where strangers want to play doctor  I am hoping to hear from other members who are not so quick to make judgements and... stuff, let's just leave it at that... perhaps there aren't any.  time will tell I guess
