I know that no one is a doctor here and that advice can’t be given.

Would just like peoples take on this. I have struggled with intense abdo pain for over a month that has got better with time. It had sudden onset and was after a period where I had my glands up.

Testing has all been fine (ESR, CRP, FBC, + all bloods done for abdo pain, not anaemic) In fact GP said my RBC and Haemoglobin was as perfect as it could be. Only slight deviation in bloods was Lympocytes were marginally low.

Feacal Calprotectin was 31.

I am still getting lower right pain, nowhere in the realms of what I was. GP had pretty much said that IBS is more likely and that anxiety is playing a large part in this.

From the numbers, seems no bowel inflammation. I guess if it continues/returns you need to go back.

I assume they have ruled out your appendix?

Appendix? If bowel seems ok- fallopian tubes ok? Just thinking of things in the general area of pain - constipation? This can cause lots of pain and bring watery stools with it x
