Hi has anyone experienced similar that give any insight into this please.
Had Faecal calprotectin content sample taken and it has come back at 78mg, previous one before this was 53mg but this was in Oct 23.
I am waiting to see gp again and have blood tests coming up in the next few weeks.
Does anyone know what this level could indicate? I am worrying myself so much about it and of course everytime you Google anything cancer always pops up.
My symptoms have been going on since middle of last year but have gotten increasingly worse over the last 2 months. I am experiencing diarrhea every day, usually in the morning 2-3 times, lower abdominal/pelvic pain, very gassy, nausea and just generally don't feel good. My weight has also dropped (unintentionally).
GP doesn't seem concerned and still seems to think it's ibs. Can ibs cause raised Faecal calprotectin levels?
I'm also waiting for results on FIT test.
