I went to the doctor today for strep (fun, fun, fun <_< ) and I had them check my iron levels since I seem to be bruising so easily. However they said they were fine, actually better then usual. The strange thing was the night before I nicked myself and blead profusely. I'm not really sure what's up and if anyone had any suggestions, they would very appreciated. m=^^=m

Bruising can be caused by other vitamin deficiencies like C. Do you take a multivitamin? If not, you might try one and see if the bruising gets better.

Vitamin K deficiency can cause both bruising and excessive blood loss. Vitamin K is needed to make your blood "clot".

Vitamin C has been shown to "thin" the blood, so dont go overboard on that one.

Check blood clotting factors?

Yeah, this sounds like a clotting issue, and vitamin K IS the requirement for that....have you had that checked?

And - when they checked your blood levels, did they check ferritin (stored iron)? I had a huge bruise for nearly an entire year before I was diagnosed with celiac.....my ferritin level was less than 3 (normal is about 75 to 150 for a woman my size/age).

Might better start with basic blood tests like platelet count. Has that been checked?

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thank you ! Good to know I am not alone. I am currently on metformin and rybelsus for my diabetes. The last week or so my sugar has been so uncontrolled, more so than before. I am very frustrated and discouraged by all this. I have had days of 317 to a low of 64. I feel terrible. I am getting back on the gluten free wagon, just taking some time, and not seeing results and relief as fast as I had hoped. My stomach is just a mess, sometimes worse than others

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).
