&lt;p&gt;      I have a blood disorder called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and it seems to be made better by modifying my diet to the point of almost veganism. The other challenge I have is that I am gluten&amp;nbsp; and corn intollerant. I am wondering if anyone has any input on a way to continue eating healthy, and also on other ways that I could treat this disorder. The conventional treatment for this includes steroid therapy, and possibly having my spleen removed. I am not willing to go either of those routes.&amp;nbsp; I feel&amp;nbsp; that&amp;nbsp; my spleen is important to my body.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Thanks for any input in advance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tsinnie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;
