Low White Blood Cell Count


Aprildncr

I recently went to the doctor to check my vitamin levels and my antibody levels. The doctor said my vitamins were much better and that my antibodies were almost gone which is good but he also said that my white blood cell count is low. He told me not to worry about the first two because in a few months they should be back to normal but made me go back two weeks later to check the white blood cells. They were even lower. The dr. said it might be from celiac does anyone else have this problem?

I have been through a round of tests because of low wbc/rbc/platelets. Even a bone marrow biopsy because of the low wbc. I have been diagnosed with ITP - Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura - , an autoimmune blood disorder

I do not have the rash that goes with it and it's low level; they will just have me have blood work every three months to keep a check on it. I do bruise easily, but have been that way all of my life. I can't say that's what you have, but it's just a thought!

My WBC count is also low but up a little since being gluten-free. Doctor is not too concerned, apparently it is normal for some people. I would just watch it and I guess it depends on how low it is. Mine is just below the nomal interval range.

      Hello, I was very stick,  with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel.  Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change?  What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?

      Eating out in general is full of risks, but this article may help:

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to being "safe".

      I don't live in the US, but based on this thread, I wouldn't risk it:   https://www.reddit.com/r/glutenfree/comments/1n2ehw8/cracker_barrel/   This app is helpful: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
