I started with diarrhoea 3 weeks ago and abdo pain in my left side, the diarrhoea lasted 2 days and since then I've been constipated. I'm now suffering from bad pain on the right and left side of my abdo, back pain and indigestion type pain where I feel like my throat has something stuck in it. I've had a fit test that negative and I don't have any bacteria either. I've got a gastroenteritis telephone appt next week but 3 weeks on I'm no better. My inflammation levels are extremely high and the doctor said its could be IBD. Any thoughts Thanks
Inflammation levels 1911: I started... - Crohn's and Colit...
Inflammation levels 1911
It certainly could be. But Gastro will probably need an MRI and Colonoscopy before the can confirm it.
Thanks for the reply. I'm really concerned because my calprotectin levels are 1911 way over what they should be and now I also feel nausea all day every day. Its making me feel exhausted as well. The symptoms are endless 😢
Update had a phone call with a gastrointestinal specialist yesterday and I'm going for a camera up and down on Thursday as he wants to get it sorted ASAP. Really hoping worse case it's IBD. Really struggling with the nausea more than anything atm. My call was at 3pm and by 4pm I got a call booking me in this Thursday didn't anticipate it so quick slightly nervous but I know it needs doing.
