Hi @nana39 I know you’re so concerned about your health changes and some of your blood numbers are not in the normal ranges of standard lab tests. Low platelets can happen for a number of reasons including fighting infections, inflammation, etc., or sometimes the bone marrow is not able to churn out healthy blood cells/platelets for some reason.
There are foods which can potentially help increase platelets as essential parts of a healthy diet. But if there is an underlying medical reason for the decrease in platelets, diet alone won’t be adequate in returning them to a normal level.
I did find a good article for you to read about foods high in folate and vitamins B9, C, D, and K, which may promote platelet generation.

Finding the cause of your higher eosinophils and lower platelets would be my best suggestion. Have you made an appointment yet with a hematologist?
