Stomach/pelvic pain early hours until you poo before diagnosis?

[mistygrey]

Hi

I’m waiting on a colonoscopy as I had a high Calprotectin test result recently I’ve just sent away the Qfit tests but unsure of those results yet. I sometimes am wakened by lower stomach pain early hours of the morning around 5 am onwards until I go for a No2 then it’s much better and relieved. Before your diagnosis of Chrons Colitis, did this happen to you also? I’m always worried something more sinister is going on but I haven’t seen visual blood in any stools and the pain does resolve once I’ve emptied my bowels. Thanks again

No, I did not have anything like that happen at all. A calprotectin test is used as a marker, a high count does not mean it's crohns disease. Hopefully your scope will be soon & the dr can find out what is going on.

It could mean an IBD though the high calprotectin level that’s what my Dr thinks and they are investigating me for that. Hopefully have answers soon
