Blood Test, Any Knowledge About Each?


Serversymptoms

Recommended Posts

Serversymptoms Contributor

I was mark for the following blood test:

Test

CBC (inc. diff + plt) [L]

Profile

Comprehensive panel [RB]

Miscellaneous test

Blood C & S with ARD

(Two tubes of blood was taken, if this may be useful to understanding what everything is being used for)

___________________________________

How would the following test be helpful for me. I have self dianogsed as gluten intolerance and yeast intolerance. I did a Candida spit test, which came back positive. I suspect there could be something wrong with my thyroid, along with being malnutrition and pre-diabetes. Would the following test alert to anything I'm skeptical of having/ do have?

-Thanks

Also any suggestions on how long it will take to get results back? ( Mayo clinic)

Mom mention she seen a glimpse of the previous celiac test I had and it appears the testing site is Mayo Clinic.

Hmmm. Not a medical professional but that looks like more normal blood tests (complete blood count, etc.). Don't see the usual celiac-related things: IgA, IgG, etc.

Here is some info from University of Chicago's Celiac Disease Center where they discuss the different tests and what they mean: Open Original Shared Link

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the answer, I actually got my blood results back Friday and now know my white blood cells are below normal ( 2.9) and C02 of 32 ( about two or three more things a little out of the average range). I'm thinking now they will start running other test to figure out why it's below normal, and actually believe me about my symptoms. I will find out Tuesday.

the celiac tests are tissue transglutaminase and antigliadin and endomysium antibody, and not the things you mentioned....can you check if they were done too.

I think the blood results can only aware them about gluten intolerance. Actually looking at Mayo Clinic for reasons one white blood cells may be low, it covers lots of things and especially the conditions I mention I may/ do have:

gluten intolerance, yeast intolerance, malnutrition, thyroid problems, candida, pre-diabetes, and could possibly have a autoimmune condition ( or something ) etc... that was the main cause of me having all these health problems, such as being celiac ( as I was able to self diagnose as gluten intolerance).

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      Thank you so much! I will look for that.
