a) i have obvious markers of infection, even after quitting any type of corn.
Is that anything like Candide?
yes; when my blood-work confirmed my insulin resistance and hypothyroidism, I was informed that these results were a good indicator of gluten sensitivity or intolerance, and i later tested positive for a gluten sensitivity. (Blood tests for gluten intolerance are a little less reliable than stool tests, btw)
so i can't say my blood tests have been consistent, but considering that my stool tests have been, i have another confirmed auto-immune disease which has been linked to gluten sensitivity, i have the physical symptoms that nanook lists above, and that cutting gluten from my diet has improved both my physical and mental functioning i think it's safe to say that my body consistently says that it does not process gluten well.
The more I look up the more it seems that gluten intolerance is more linked with low white blood cell counts, not high... though a yeast infection seems likely because of all the fucking antibiotics I've been on. Ugh.
As in, not obvious celiac disease, but claim that your life improved by not eating gluten -- do your blood tests consistently claim that your body is fighting an infection or has recently had an infection?
So no "everything else normal besides high white blood cell count"?
