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.

      So I purchased the Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine along with the Thiamax. I will take along with my Super B Complexes. I stopped taking the multi vitamins. Should I take all 3 vitamins/supplements together with my morning oatmeal breakfast? Do you think I will experience any bad symptoms when taking them.

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.
