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."

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      Hello,  I have seen numerous doctors and they can't seem to pin point why my ttg iga is still mildly elevated at 16-20 even after being gluten free for over 10 years. I follow a very strict diet and don't eat out. All my other blood tests such as ema, DGP IGA / IGG, vitamin levels, CBC, and dexa scan were normal.

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Help needed

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!
