Cbc Reports

[Worriedtodeath]

My daughter's (2 yrs) cbc came back. It seemed fine but I was wondering what would cause white blood count to drop from 13.0 (sick, on gluten and 10 months ago) to 7.4 today (off gluten 4 months) Both results fit within the normal range but just wondering if a drop is normal. And her platelet count went from 338 to 297. all in normal range but just wondering again if the drop is normal or needs to be watched. Her eosinophil number went from above normal to the low end of the range.

Her Igg level is below as well. Her Igg Subclass 1 is LOW. So that is something to watch over time.

Just wondering if anyone knew??

Thanks

Can't speak specifically to these things but I noticed that several of my blood markers adjusted within the normal range by large levels from the time I was diagnosed with celiac until my next checkup.

I would not be the least bit worried about her results. Her numbers are within range - they are perfectly fine. Numbers change constantly. A CBC, especially, changes all the time - i.e., numbers change depending on how hydrated you are, for example. The fact is, if someone is not symptomatic, even results that are mildly out of range are not something to be worried about. I would not be at all concerned. (By the way, I'm a registered nurse).
