My daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's disease 5 years ago. We put her on a strict diet of no gluten and high nutritional smoothies. Her calprotectin level was 1700 when first diagnosed. She was also very sick.
We were able to get her to a healthy state by diet and no drugs. We followed The Maker's Diet by Jordan Rubin.
It has been 5 years and she has seemed pretty healthy. She has had a hard time gaining weight but for the most part she has seemed healthy.
That leads me to this weeks calprotectin level. They were 2500. The highest they have ever been. In the past they have checked her levels and they came in between 250 and 350.
Her ferritin level was 17.8 and the dr. Put her on feroussulfate. Her creatinine level was low as well as her SGPT. Her RBC , HGB, HCT were high. She seems healthy. She doesn't have as much energy as most kids her age but for the most part she seems healthy.
Should I be concerned. Her dr. Appointment is not for another two and a half weeks away. We are starting her on the diet again in hopes to go back into remission but that can take up to six months.
