Very interesting about the vitamin K Lulu. I suspect undiagnosed celiac and malabsorption problems in my case. I've been transfusion dependent for 4 years now and have had at least 200 units of packed red cells. Since going strictly gluten free in May of this year, my rash went away and I feel stronger. I can tell I *am* stronger because I can ride my horse better. For 10+ weeks my HGB was doing better as well. I think I got glutened by mistake around Aug 30, my next test was worse. I am hanging in there and staying on the diet, in spite of what my drs think.

It's mind boggling to think gut problems might be causing a lot of these blood disorders.
