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?

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Test results came back for everything that was tested now. Cholesterol is off the charts high. Not sure if that’s related to celiac, I have no idea how it could be so high. Also tested positive for H pylori  infection… is there a link to celiac and H pylori? Or am I just experiencing symptoms of the H pylori infection?

      I’m reading that some sites list a high Immunoglobulin A result for my age above 300, another site says above 356, and other sites are saying above 400. I don’t know what to make of this result 🤷‍♂️

      Need Advice on Doctors

      You got some bum steers my friend. I have little confidence that you can trust your test results as differentiating between NCGS and celiac disease. And I think you would be much more likely to have gotten that note you need if you had been diagnosed with celiac disease. But believe me, I understand the predicament you are in with regard to the risks of repeating the gluten challenge. We have heard this story many times on this forum. People experiment with the gluten free diet before getting an official diagnosis and then cannot tolerate the gluten challenge later on when they seek an official diagnosis.

      For the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, they said 7 days of gluten. So I did 8...fast food and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. For the earlier blood test, the younger doctor said I didn't have to. My immune system went down, I was in the bathroom a lot, and as my wife said my brain wasn't braining.
