Hi Celiacs,

A friend of mine wrote me about her problems:

I have a too high of white blood cells and a blood clot history.
I had a pulmonary embolism. After I had my daughter it was the worse 
time of my life. I took myself off the blood thinners because I was 
tired of bleeding like stuffed piggy over a sliver cut. My Doc did 
not say anything about it but every time I go to get my blood tested, 
they just tell me they find abnormality in my blood. I had to go for 
INR's* all the time and after a while it was no fun at all. I am 
scared the they will reappear and I just do not want to go through 
that again EVER. I found out I had the blood clot when my daughter 
was 3 months old. She is 6 now. I could not even pick her up. It is 
hard to talk about sometimes because I am scared that it will come 
back. I almost died in 2001 and right now I am 35 so I guess you can 
just imagine how I felt at a such young age.  2 things that I was on 
were Coumadin and Warfarin used to kills rats and rodents.
I really got scared today cause I did have some blood clots come from 
my nose and I coughed up some too but I am fine now . My nose really 
hurts though.

INR stands for international Normalized ratio. I had to get my blood 
checked a lot for too much clotting or to much thinning

Has anybody had similar problems to this? It would be good for Tammy 
to know from others that she is not alone and that her condition is 
caused by gluten. I found 2 sites that confirm the celiac/pulmonary 
embolism connection.

Celiac best,
Susan
