Blood levels being abnormal

[Mistymw]

Has anyone had a CBC come back where white and red blood cells are elevated and they suggest you see a Hematologist? I’ve had several blood test come back this way and am curious if celiac may be playing a role or if anybody else has experienced this.

Mistymw,

It could be from Celiac disease or it also be from your multiple vitamin deficiencies that Celiac's develop.

See this article from the Mayo Clinic about it.

Entitled "Micronutrient Deficiencies Are Common in Contemporary Celiac Disease Despite Lack of Overt Malabsorption Symptoms"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31248695/

Being deficient in Thiamine can cause the same thing.

See this research about it.

Entitled  "Erythrocytosis (increase in Red Blood Cells) in thiamine deficient rats"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7334740/

This is the best thread on Thiamine on Celiac.com

Maybe it will help you  to read it.....

I also recommend these two articles....

I once had elevated creatine in my kidneys treated with Benfotiamine thought to be from high blood sugar as a complication from diabetes.....

But I was really just low in Thiamine....

See this article about how the Polyneuropathy of Diabetes can be treated with Benfotiamine ( a special fat soluble form of Thiamine)...

Entitled  "Thiamine Deficiency and Diabetic Polyneuropathy: Compelling evidence for an interrelationship"

https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/2018-11/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy

Here was their conclusion which says it better than I can

quoting...

"The preponderance of evidence would indicate that diabetics have an increased need for thiamine while at the same time being endemically deficient in it. Perhaps Porta et al stated it best:

Diabetes might be considered a thiamine-deficient state, if not in absolute terms at least relative to the increased requirements deriving from accelerated and amplified glucose metabolism in non-insulin dependent tissues that, like the vessel wall, are prone to complications.21

When taken as a whole, the evidence suggests a significant interrelationship between thiamine deficiency and diabetic polyneuropathy."

Knitty Kitty and the Posterboy are the ones who have written (talked) about Thiamine on this forum  the most because we found it helped us.

So just search for them or Thiamine on Celiac.com and many other threads will come up that can help you.

I was you once!

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

welcome to the forum! You did not mention whether or not you have celiac disease. If so it is possible that it could affect certain things in a blood test, but this would not be typical. Certainly having elevated white and red blood cells would not be indicative of celiac disease by itself, but I could not tell by your post why you suspect celiac disease?
