Just wondering if anyone sees a problem with these results. Don't necessary trust the dr's opinion that they are fine so just asking for opinions/experience. THanks

Hematology: MCH - 31.1 High; Range 27.0-31.0

MPV - 7.3 Low; Range 7.4-10.4

SEGS - 71 High; Range 50-70%

LYMPHS - 17 Low; Range 20-40%

EOSIN - 5 High; Range 0-3%

Thryoid: T4 - 7.8; Range 4.6-12.0

TSH - 2.60; Range .27-4.20

Not sure what all these even mean and they weren't explained. :rolleyes:

Not really. A few are slightly out of the normal range but not enough to cause concern. If you had them done three days later they would be different yet. Docs only get concerned if something is grossly out of norm and then they will repeat lab work to see if that was a lab error, a temporary aberration or a real pattern of abnormality. Then, too, some serum parameters are more critical than others. They won't get too excited if your eosinophylls are a little off but if your platelets or you sodium, for example, are out of wack they will be concerned.

      Hmm, I think you mean the Gluten Intolerance Group®? Their website is not gig.net. Maybe it was at one point? I am new to all of this, but did find their website here: https://gluten.org/ Kind Regards, Known1

      Barilla gluten free pasta

      @Scott Adams, You're right about corn and wheat not sharing similarities in the 33-mer peptide segment of gluten. Corn has a completely different peptide that causes an autoimmune reaction because it attaches to HLA-DQ8. Casein in dairy shares with wheat similarities in the33-mer peptide chain. Sorry about the oversimplification. Maize...

      Barilla gluten free pasta

      I just want to mention that corn and wheat do both contain storage proteins (corn has zein, wheat has gliadin and other gluten proteins), and there are some small similarities in certain amino acid sequences. However, those similarities are not considered medically equivalent, and corn proteins do not trigger the autoimmune response of celiac disease in the...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      @Heatherisle, Newly diagnosed people often suffer from nutritional deficiencies. Thiamine B1 stores can be depleted within a few weeks. Thiamine deficiency can be localized in the gastrointestinal tract causing Gastrointestinal Beriberi. It is under diagnosed by doctors! Dysfunction of the gallbladder can be seen in Gastrointestinal Beriberi...

      I just want to mention that corn and wheat do both contain storage proteins (corn has zein, wheat has gliadin and other gluten proteins), and there are some small similarities in certain amino acid sequences. However, those similarities are not considered medically equivalent, and corn proteins do not trigger the autoimmune response of celiac disease in the vast majority of people with celiac. Celiac disease specifically involves an immune reaction to gluten peptides found in wheat, barley, and rye. Corn is classified as gluten-free because its proteins do not activate that same immune pathway in most individuals. Although corn intolerance is very real, the explanation about the proteins being the same is oversimplified to the point where it's not accurate.

      @Heatherisle, Newly diagnosed people often suffer from nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B1 stores can be depleted within a few weeks.  Thiamine deficiency can be localized in the gastrointestinal tract causing Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  It is under diagnosed by doctors!  Dysfunction of the gallbladder can be seen in Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   Have your daughter mention the possibility of Gastrointestinal Beriberi to her dietician!  Gastrointestinal Beriberi will be improved with high dose Thiamine administration, orally or by IV.  It's important to have thiamine deficiency corrected as quickly as possible to prevent life threatening health problems and risk permanent damage.   I had Gastrointestinal Beriberi but my doctors did not recognize it.  I had diarrhea.  I had my gallbladder removed (gallbladder attack).  Still had diarrhea.  My thiamine deficiency progressed to Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors diagnosed me as "depressed".   I corrected the thiamine deficiency at home with over the counter Thiamine Hydrochloride tablets.  I'm very thankful I studied Nutrition.   See if the symptoms match:  Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Gastrointestinal Beriberi Presenting With Chronic Diarrhea: A Case Report https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12794365/
