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.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
