Hi Rick Did your consultant tell you what the level was? I had my calprotectin done and it was 150. GI said it wasn't elevated enough to warrant colonoscopy. I've to repeat the test this month.

Hi Suzi Any word yet on your results? How have you been?x

No one?x

That's the bit I'm dreading when I do eventually get the colonoscopy the prep!!!! That's great you had a good experience. I think I just had that one dodgy GI experience but I will be asking to see a different one this time. I had a terrible night last night. I've posted it in the general...

Recently I feel constipated and when I go to the toilet I have to strain. I had this last night but then I was having the stomach cramps you get when you have diarrheah but I was having to push to get it out?! It was almost like the 'door' that let's the stool into the rectum was right shut or...

Fx you hear soon your results. That was great you managed all of that Kleen prep and he could get a good look! I'm ok. All is the same. Going to do the calprotectin test this week and take it from there. I know it's not going to come back normal. Which then means I will be referred to GI again...

That's good it's over Suzi. Did he say he thought it was crohns? Was it your small bowel that looked inflamed?x

Good luck for tomorrow xxx

Not long to go now at least!!! I'm ok just he same to be honest and feeling defeated. I've still to repeat the calprotrcton test. I know it's going to come back high again and I've got alst constant pain at right side of stomach.

Zachattack glad it sounds like you are closer to getting things looked at. Did you ever get results back on the stool test looking for blood?

How ru Suzi? When is your colonoscopy?x

Well fingers crossed it's one step closer to answers.xx

Suzi I meant to say as far as I'm aware it's the same consultants that cover both inverclyde and paisley. When is your colonoscopy again?x

That's great! Was that the rah? I'm glad app went well and fx you know what you are dealing with very soon. I'm ok. I've had lots of salad and fruit today as I'm in a catch 22 of needing to lose weight but having fruit and veg upsets my stomach! Will see how it goes tomorrow. I've to repeat...

How did you get on today Suzi?x

Hi Chester Thanks yes defo cold sores. I get them when I'm run down but normally one a year not two in two weeks.:(

I've never had 'normal' ESR or CRP always slightly raised but then I've always been told they are fine and normal for me?! I'm seeing my gp tomorrow to discuss it but there's not point in me getting the bloods done just now as I have a cold and sinus infection so it's going to raise the ESR and...

Hi Suzi I had my appointment. Was a disaster to be honest. GI said 151 calprotectin is nothing and does not want to do any tests. Going to my gp tomorrow to discuss where I go from here. I hope you have a better GI!x

Was referred to a GI as I had been having diarrheah and ache in stomach. Cal protection test showed 151. Saw GI yesterday who said that level of calprotection is 'only slightly raised and he looks at that level and thinks it's nothing'. He said he does not think I have crohns because I sometime...

Hi Suzi Can I ask what your symptoms are? I have my first GI appointment tomorrow and feel quite nervous. My calprotexton level was 153.
