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

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.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.
