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.

      Wow she was just playing with play dough yesterday and I actually thought i wonder if I have to worry about play dough! But no meltdowns yesterday. Is your daughter celiac or just gluten sensitive/intolerant? Your son still had to go on Ritalin after going gluten free?

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.
