Low Platelets Due to Poor Diet? Posted: 08-17-06 04:07am
My mother had a blood test and found she
has a low platelet count. She has a very
poor diet, would that contribute to low
platelet production? If so what can we
get or give her to get her platelets up
again?
Many thanks for any replies

Were all the rest of her blood values
within the normal range?
I have heard of some chemo patients
getting prednisone to raise their platelet
levels but of course the doctor needs to
decide if it is bad enough to warranet
that. I do not know of any food that will
increase platelets.

I know a guy who has a blood disorder
called TTP. I forget what the real name of
it is but one of the primary sypmtoms is a
low platelet count. Maybe you should have
her check it out? It's a very rare disease
though. Good luck
