Experiences with

Calprotectin test

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.

Been told its a 14 month wait to see the gastroenterologist and doctors have done basic tests which came back negative except the calprotectin test which was raised. I have asked to try cholestyramine. Many thanks

Hi there I’ve been having weird bowel symptoms for awhile now and Gp did a calprotectin stool test which showed a high result. She’s referred me to Gastro urgently however it’s a long wait even for urgent in Edinburgh where I am in the UK.

Calprotectin test back again after last check in February which was 1800 after having alot of blood loss and diarrhea flare-up yet it is still 1800.Gastro appointment on 1st of July booked to discuss but feel very down by this number as I have been eating nothing but oats, almond milk, fish and rice

He did a load of tests, and the stool calprotectin test came back raised at 99ug. He then asked me to do a second test which came back at 197ug. He has referred me to a gastroenterologist. This has made me really nervous as to what is going to happen next. Does anyone know?

Just out of interest, has anyone had a Calprotectin Test? and if so, what were the results

Saw GP last week and stool results came back with very raised Calprotectin (inflammation) and Blood in stools (FIT test). I’ve now been referred on the urgent 2-week ?cancer pathway, could also be IBD with results so now waiting on an urgent colonoscopy. Could this be bowel endo?

The faecal calprotectin test was raised which I've had to re do but still waiting for other results. I also eliminated things that i thought made it worse, such as Dairy, Caffine and fizzy drinks. My IBS-D has calmed down, its not been as bad in the last 7days.

test and this time it’s came back at 655!!

On a test called “calprotectin”, your “score” should be under 50. Mine was 1460, meaning there was a very high level of inflammation in my intestines. Fast forward to today. I was telling my rheumatologist about everything that has been going on and she says it’s time to change things up.

Had a stool test done and the calprotectin levels were 500+ I had my colonoscopy today and was so sure they’d say that I had very obvious inflammation and had crohns or colitis, but they found nothing. Doctor even went back to an area where I was feeling quite a lot of pain when doing the test.

Finally, I did see a gastroenterologist last month, and then I had an ultrasound, a calprotectin fecal test, a blood test, and a CT scan with dye (with contrast) everything was clear and good my calprotectin test came back with 74 points and they ruled out anything major, I explicitly asked if there

Anyway I was asked to do a calprotectin test for crohns and I’m wondering if I have blood in my stool can it give a false positive? Thanks x

Hi, Looking for some advice please if you've been in a similar situation. I've been struggling more with my gut lately (pain, bloating, nausea, constipation & diarrhoea, sometimes passing blood, no hunger/ desire to eat). My GP has done some tests, my calprotectin came back a bit high and has referred

Due sigmoidoscopy on Friday morning but just had recent calprotectin back 🙂For a year it stayed at 1800 but now in the space of three months it has dropped down to 610 magically by itself as I have no answers to what has created all this yet 😞 that I hope to find out on Friday 🙂 but I'm just wondering

Due a flexible sigmoidoscopy on November 1st 🙁Nervous above and beyond Am opting for no sedation or pain relief and hoping all goes nice and quick and well 🙏 Also praying to get some answers as have been unable to eat normally now for two years and if I do try to eat any gluten,dairy,soya or vegetables

Hi All I started having blood in my stools mid last year and was offered an urgent colonoscopy (after a positive FIT test). the Colonoscopy showed mild inflammation, but UC vs. Crohn's was not conclusive... Did an MRI which showed mild inflammation of the terminal ileum. Calp showed a reading of 240

As per my previous query, I am still experiencing diahorrea and regular leakages from the bowel. My recent poo tests showed abnormally high Faecal CalProtectin levels, 249 vs a normal score of under 50, indicator of a relatively high level of inflammation for which NICE guidelines suggest a referral

Did Calprotectin test 11 Dec, was 1,000. Luckily got a Facetime appt with gastro on her last day til January. She put me on 4.8g Mezavant. So I've been taking that for 8 full days.
