Cbc Reports

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

Stacie

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).

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By Skg414228 · Posted

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.

      The biopsy for celiac disease is done of the small bowel lining and in conjunction with an "upper GI" scoping called an endoscopy. A colonoscopy scopes the lower end of the intestines and can't reach up high enough to get to the small bowel. The endoscopy goes through the mouth, through the stomach and into the duodenum, which is at the upper end of the intestinal track. So, while they are scoping the duodenum, they take biopsies of the mucosal lining of that area to send off for microscopic analysis by a lab. If the damage to the mucosa is substantial, the doc doing the scoping can often see it during the scoping.

      Yeah I had zero thoughts on celiac it was an ibs referral. She suspected celiac when she started questioning me and I already needed a colonoscopy which I guess is why she didn’t care that I had been fairly gluten free up to that point. Because they would have just done the biopsy when doing the colonoscopy. I don’t know we will see just figured I’d put that info on the forum in case someone finds it interesting later. I’ll update in April when I find out.
