Gluten free

[DAVIDJOEL]

Hi guys. Diagnosed 2 years ago at 47 years old. Went GF at 58 for six months and went up to 71. Went off GF and dropped to 41. Went back on GF yesterday. Will let you know the results in January.

That's great. My husband did exactly the same years ago and within a year increased platelets significantly. Over 3 years following gf diet, no processed foods his platelets are normal and he was signed off. His starting point was him being threatened with steroids and spleen removal. Our reading suggested that immune system is impacted by gut health so ridding foods which cause inflammation and possible leaky gut all sounded like the way to go. We even did the SCD diet - if you look into you will find some good stuff - we followed for 3 months intensive programme. No looking back - expect he can't have a beer (only gluten free beer, but there are some good ones on market now so all is not lost).

Will check out SCD diet, thanks!

I have celiac disease. Had itp a year ago. I think gluten gave me itp. Without gluten and milk my platelets are 241.
