Experiences with

Calprotectin test

My recent calprotectin test was normal showing my treatment for U.C is working. Several before had been high. I've been put in for a Sigmoidoscopy test soon , last one was 4 years ago. Do I still need to have it?. I really don't want to so would appreciate your thoughts.

He has deferred my hplori treatment as he wants to do a colonoscopy to check for cancer IBD efc.im absolutely petrified of the procedure and having to do the prep He has ordered a repeat calprotectin test and bloods taken for Copper and Vit D.I was told i had low vit D 3 years ago but noone told me!!

I feel like I’ve been passed from pillar to post, last week I only just discovered that my original calprotectin test was lost and no results were ever recorded, a complete error on there part and now I need to take a stool sample in for the test to be done.

Has anyone used the Calprotectin Home Test kits to self monitor their Calprotectin levels? I would like to hear your views and experiences as I am thinking of using one in self-monitoring my Crohn’s disease.

IBD has been ruled out from a recent fecal calprotectin test, a lot fo evidence points towards IBS. Would pulling out of university to get myself into remission be wise? (I cannot think of any other options). My future is looking very uncertain, with my flares popping up frequently and severely.

As the bleeding has continued and the GP cannot see anything visible at her bottom they did a calprotectin test. This came back at 1800+ as the labs couldnt test any higher. We have just had an endoscopy and colonoscopy yesterday which was very distressing for her.

So ive had a full blood test (all fine) faecal calprotectin test (normal) and a FIT test. This came back abnormal. So of course ive gone into a meltdown and a few days after found out im pregnant.

After at least 25 years and visits to my Gp I finally mange to convince my doctor to give me a FIT test and feacal calprotectin test along with 13 blood tests. I couldn’t go on with the being told it’s probably ibs and not ruling everything else out.

My GP ordered a calprotectin test in September which came back at 222 and I had a repeat one in December which came back at 430. My GP wrote to my local Gastroenterology department at the hospital for advice. The consultant mentioned that it could be Bile Acid Malabsorption or bowel disease.

Do you think I should push further with IBD, I guess it all depends on my next Calprotectin test, too? Any help would be much appreciated. All the best, L :)

Did any of you got a Calprotectin mid level result and still was diagnosed with IBS?

Calprotectin marker was at 150, anyone had a similar number and what was the cause? Thanks
