Sorry to say but the calprotectin level is very high for only small bowel involvement. You need a urgent MRE.

Sorry you haven't had any responses. As i have got older my tolerance meat declined. My dx is IBS

Suggest also requesting blood tests. I would get calprotectin are pain event. I would try a ibs diet like FODMAPs. This diet made my ibs much better. My daughter who was later dx with crohn's if anything it made her worse.

My 24 year old daughter was dx with UC last year and she is high functioning aspergers. Her sisters has crohn's.
