Dear Listmates,

I got bloodwork back from a routine screening for CBC etc and the results
show that platelets are elevated. One of my med texts says this can be a
result of chronic inflammation conditions and lists sprue as a possible
cause. Has anyone run into this before? I haven't gotten hold of the
specialist yet to discuss this result but my GP was talking about this
being a risk for stroke and heart problems. He thought it might have to do
with diet but my text doesn't mention this.

Thanks,
Lissy
