Hi guys just saw the gi with ben he had ordered the fecal calprotectin last time, as knew bens fecal calprtectin was less than 20 the lab had explained before i saw the gi he than said hes very confident he can say he doesnt feel this is Crohn's related as he explains with most of his Crohn's pediatric patients and all his patients there fecal calpro was always past the hundreds he then made an ibs diagnosis he was very to the point explained what he had ruled out things like celiac food intolerance uc unlikely Crohn's and gave some medication and said he encourages both his ibd and ibs patients for exercise just thought to post

I hope all soon settles for your boy. :ghug:
Please keep us posted on how he is going now that he is starting on medication.
I personally would still keep an eye on things and keep a diary to track symptoms. I am in no way saying it isn’t IBS and if it is then tracking trends can still be useful in managing his day to day functioning.
Good luck! :heart:

I feel your pain. With my younger one we have been down a similar path.
IBS = I Be Stumped
Dusty's recommendation of keeping a diary helps but I do know it is tiresome. Then if you are lucky, they feel better and you fall out of the practice and BAM they start again.
How did doc rule out Celiac? There are plenty of people who test negative on bloods but biopsies turn up disease. At least if you suspect Celiac, you can pull gluten and see if that helps...can't hurt. Also, there is a new dx these days...NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Not all docs use it but again you can try to pull gluten and see.
Sorry I am not up on your son's symptoms. I will go back and look for your original post.

If you can call it that. My middle daughter has Crohns. My younger daughter has had stomach issues ever since she can talk. I have had chronic constipation and IBS both thrown at me. They ran some celiac blood test but I don't know which ones and from what I have read some of those tests can come up negative and you still have Celiac. Up to this point my daughter's GI has been unimpressed and I got the ole IBS line.
Stay tuned.....
