A member asked:
I had diarrhea for 1 week. as for labs, my cbc with diff was absolutely normal. what would cause diarrhea this long and no change in labs, like wbc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: Mild viral infections or bacterial causes of diarrhea seldom change the CBC. The body doesn't really have a reason to increase cells In the blood to settle things in the gut. Glad you are health-aware. Best wishes.
