Yup. I've been doing the South Beach Diet for about 6 weeks now, and I'm down about 9 pounds - yay! Of course I'm having to modify it a bit to be gluten and dairy-free, but since it's fairly light on grains anyway, the gluten-free part has been relatively easy. Dairy, unfortunately, is somewhat trickier; I was substituting soy milk/soy yogurt for awhile, but now I'm starting to suspect that I may be intolerant to those as well. :(

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hello, I am new here and currently on my 3rd week of gluten-free and finally starting to feel better after 5 months of pain, IBS symptoms, and losing 1 and a half stone.  I also have low white blood cells and wondered if it might be related.  Just wanted to share! I've been tested for autoimmune diseases and had stool tests, blood tests and all fine (apart from white blood cells are at 3.0). Doc wants to retest for Celiac but I need to be eating gluten and quite frankly, I really don't want to!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be...
