Diagnosed with Crohn's a decade ago, but been in a remission for the past 3ish years so not on any meds, and I moved during that time so I'm seeing a completely new doctor now. Recently symptoms got bad...like many bowel movements a day, severe pain, blood in stool bad.
So new doc is doing all the tests, MRI w/enterography, colono and endoscopy, labs and stool samples.
Labs- Very high CRP,high platelets anemic and low B12, sed rate normalish (even at my sickest my SED rate was normal-been told SED rate for a small percent of populate SED rate is bad indicator thats why we use CRP as well)
fecal Calprotectin-normal
MRI was yesterday so results should be soon and colono is next week. Hoping those come out as expected because otherwise I'm afraid he is gonna blow me off and not do anything, its how he treated me in my initial consult. Anyone know why calprotectin could be negative with small bowel crohns?
