"Pellagra is/was first identified as occurring in Corn based feedstuffs it is/was only natural that when STRESS (WWII) triggered it (Celiac Disease/Pellagra by another name) in wheat based grain diets that doctor’s didn’t see the similarities. So a new disease was being described/created to explain why wheat consuming people developed a malabsorption syndrome that could/would be mistaken for Pellagra if the diet was Corn based.
So this medical myth became medical fact in the 50’s and it has not been challenged really until the functional medicine doctor Prousky conclusively proved Niacin treats digestive problems just as Pellagra Preventive Factor Vitamin B-3 did then protect (cause remission) people from Diarrhea, IBS, and other GI problems not yet classified in the early 20th century so too can/does Niacin(amide) (I believe) now treat Celiac disease today because Celiac disease was the first time Pellagra was described in a wheat based diet. The One (Pellagra faded away) and is replaced now by Celiac disease."
