Hi Syl,
Sorry for the late reply on this. I have had blood tests done for celiac and they have not shown any problems. I have not been tested for Chrohn's.
On an additional note, here are some blood test results I have had recently. I'm not sure if you are able to offer any advice:
White blood cell count low, around 3,200ish
Liver enzymes *low*, not sure on counts
*went back in for testing on both, and they appeared to be better, and the doctors did not believe further testing was needed. Although I have had various colds/cough for 11 weeks now, straight, and just had a very sore throat on the left side only, with swollen glands in the upper left part of my neck. I'm going in again in a couple days to get all of this looked at.
Also, I have difficulty putting on weight. I am not losing it rapidly, outside of a couple rare occurrences, but I seem to need different calorie amounts at different times. Here is what I have seen over the last year:
*all figures are net calories, total calories - exercise
First 4 months: 2,700 *net* calories (about 2,950 gross)
Weight change: 150 to 168
Change: +18 pounds
Next 4 months: 2,650 *net* calories
Weight change: 168 to 162
Change: -6 pounds
Next 4 months: 2,595 *net* calories (hardly any exercise)
Weight change: 162 to 158
Change: -4 pounds
That's a pretty large change in weight. I tracked calories on a daily basis, and they should be very accurate. The year before was very similar to this, in that I shot up in weight, from 170 pounds to 192 (all time high), only to lose it all back and go to 150 pounds (all time low). There were only slight differences in calories consumed during that year, with the weight loss happening during a time that my calories should have maintained my weight.
Can IBS, or Fructose Malabsorption cause issues like this?
