If anyone can tell me what does this mean on blood test?

Test Name - CBC w/Diff

MCHC

What does this mean? I was out of range on this one....

Also, what does it mean when your alkaline phosphatase is low? (I used to know this stuff....)

Is there a medical website which can give me more info?

Test Name - CBC w/Diff

MCHC

What does this mean? I was out of range on this one.

CBC w/diff = Complete blood count with differential. That means a white cell count, red cell count and platelet count and measurement of red cell size and hemoglobin concentration. The differential means someone looks at the slide and "differentiates" what type of white cells are present. Neutrophils, lymphocytes etc.

MCHC = mean cell hemoglobin concentration. This value is looked at along with the size of the red blood cell and the amount of hemoglobin in it.....

Can be elevated in persons who dont drink enough or who are dehydrated and is of limited value. Usually more significant to have a LOW number

Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme found primarily in bones and the liver. Expected values are higher for those who are growing (children and pregnant women) or when damage to bones or liver has occurred or with gallstones. Low values are probably not significant.

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
