I've been doing pretty well following a laparoscopic resection last year (lost around 25 cms, mostly large bowel, about 6 cms of ileum). Surgeon said my small bowel was "pristine" in terms of disease activity/scarring after taking out the pesky stricture.
My fistulas, however, continue to plague me. Been on Cipro/Flagyl since December and things are getting worse (more pain, inflammation and drainage).
Recently had my Fecal Calprotectin checked and it was 174.8. First time I have ever had it done, so don't have a comparator. Going to do it again soon.
Think my disease is mostly quiet except for fistulas based on BMs and other symptoms, so wondering if you guys have had elevated FCP based on perianal disease alone?
Thanks!
