Need All Of Your Input Once Again, Dx Negative For Celiac

[Chelle15]

The doctor is going to call me. But they said there was lymphocytosis. Which from what I read means there are a lot of white blood cells, and that means it was/is an infection. But it also means that the infection has been there for over 2 months. Isn't that a little long?

And I did still have elevated gliadin(sp?) antibodies in my blood tests. Does that mean I have allergies to some type of food and does that mean they will test me?

Lastly, I assume that any of you will say yes, because it has been said in the past, but should I still try going gluten free?

Thank you for all of your help! You have all helped me through so much.

Hmmmmm, in researching more, it appears that it can have something to do with a gluten sensitivity(sp?) or celiac, but I have a hard time understanding what I am reading.

I am unsure if it is related directly to celiac or not but I have a number of blood tests over the past year and a half with most of them coming back with high white blood cell counts. I was treated with antibiotics for over three months before the first significant drop but it went back up and I quit with the antibiotics because it didn't really seem to help much. I had blood tests done again for a sugar check and my cell count was up again. My grandmother who has been diagnosed with celiac has had big problems for a long time keeping her white cell count down as well.

Thank you. Seems to me it would be related to an autoimmune disease, no?
