    Help! Can anyone tell me if they think these Capsule Endoscopy images can in anyway be normal??!

    I have asked the Consultant several times over the last month to see me and explain the photos but I’m being ignored. Unfortunately I seem to be getting sicker. Pain going from my bottom up to bladder area, temp spikes and feeling like death tbh. However I have given up faith in doctors 😢

    Has anyone experienced a false negative with faecal calprotectin?

    I am at my wits end at the moment. I had my colon removed due to Crohn’s in 2013 and I have a permanent ileostomy. For three years after I was really well but a couple of years ago I started getting symptoms of a flare up. I have had CTE, MRE, ultra sound. Blood tests are normal and Faecal...
