What Causes Elevated Gamma Levels And Suggest Treatment?

I'm a stay at home mom of 5, non-drinker, non-smoker, in good health (as far as I know). I went to donate plasma to get some extra money and was rejected due to elevated Gamma levels. The acceptable levels is 7.7-22.4 and mine is at 23.3. Any idea why this would be and/or how to correct it?
