Dr Is Not Trying... Cant Contact Him About These Lab Results.


ARK

Does anyone know of a good website where I can go figure out what my son's blood test results mean?

They did a CBC and a CMP.

On Sept 6, 06 we had the same tests done and the numbers were "off". Then on Dec 8 we had it done again and some of the numbers are more off than before! :blink:

My son is sick and I am so frustrated. I need a doctor who will agressively search out the cause!! The gluten free diet helped a LOT at first, but not so much any more. However, we have had several accidents along the way and we are doing better now so hopefully there will be improvement soon.

TIA,

ARK

which numbers are off?

If you would like some help, you'll need to post the reference ranges for each one. each lab has different methods and numbers mean different things. independent of the reference ranges, these numbers do not mean anything.

:) no problem. I knew you needed help, and i just wanted to make sure people could.

if your doctor isn't helping you, i suggest you start looking for a new one. ask for recommendations from friends, etc. good luck

It's definitely time for a new doc! This one is super nice and he gets a gold star for figuring out the celiac in 2 months rather than 11 years!! :D:D

BUT, he is VERY busy. Too busy - I am left researching things on my own and I just dont have any medical training which makes it a little difficult... :blink:

We dont have insurance, so switching docs is going to be hard. This one works with us on the bills, gives a discount, lets me pay it out, etc....

We did get some insurance for the kids finally but it doesnt kick in until March 1st 07!!!! :o:huh::unsure:

That is WAY too long to wait when you have a kid this sick.

Hello,

I am a Clinical Lab Scientist - I do this work all day. The only number that is significantly out of range is his alkaline phosphatase which is pretty common in teens - it will be elevated during growth. Everything else looks pretty normal.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!
