Bloodwork Question...

Our ped called today and said that Matthew's CBC and Sed rate came back normal (didn't get numbers as my husband spoke with her while I was out). She said we won't have the TTG back for a few days still but she will call as soon as they get the results. I am just wondering if that is reassuring that he wasn't anemic and didn't show sinces of inflamation. I took that as a good sign that his TTG will be normal. I would have guessed that if he were celiac he'd be anemic right?? Am I thinking about that wrong?? Is there a correlation???

My CBC and ESR(sed rate) were normal and I was found to have celiac. My RBC is still good, I had a CBC drawn a few weeks ago when I worked in the lab because I had been feeling rundown.

Not everybody with celiac disease is anemic. So, while it is good that he isn't anemic, it doesn't rule out celiac disease.

When my son was super sick with the disease and hospitallized, his CBC was normal; he was not anemic and had no noticeable mineral defficiencies. From an x-ray they did see that he was blocked in his intestines, but that was it. Only the TTG levels and some test done on the liver was there any indication that something was wrong and that it was probably Celiac Disease.

When I was diagnosed by biopsy and TTG with celiac disease I had a normal C-reactive protein and SED rate, CBC...but still had celiac disease...the doctors seemed surprised that I had no anemia.

I did have very low levels of vitamin D though. So if he does have it you should have them check his absorption of fat soluble vitamins.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof.  I think it was from eggs.  I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them.  I was defient in B12.   My heart is pounding and it won't stop.  Not sure what to do.   I don't have much support other than this forum.    Colleen

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌

      I’m so glad they listened to your concerns!  I hope you get some answers from the MRI.
