I have always had a fairly sensitive digestive system but in the past month or so it has gotten pretty bad with intense diarrhea, occasional abdominal cramping.
I have always been anemic.
I went to my GP about it and had blood work done and a stool test. Stool all came back normal, as did most everything in the blood except WBC (I tested at 13 normal is 4-11), hemoglobin (I tested at 10.9, normal is 11.5-16.0)
-Hemotocrit (I tested at 33.5%, normal is 35-45%)
-MCV (I tested at 71.8, normal is 80-100)
-MCH (I tested at 23.4, normal is 26-34)
-absolute granulocytes (I tested at 9.2, normal is 2-8.6)
-ALK PHOSPHATASE (I tested at 64, normal is 70 - 210)
I was feeling better this past week as I was on a trip and could only really eat potatoes, rice, chicken and fruit so I contacted my GP and she said I might not have to see the GI but I'm not so sure due to some abnormalities in the blood tests.
