You claim you first had stomach cramping on 8/31. By 9/5 you had already seen a GI with no emergency symptoms. By 9/10 you had pooped in a box and already received results.
Not buying this. |
Definitely. Op needs a colonoscopy and a full-body MRI, stat! |
That timeline ain’t mathin. Most people can’t even get into a G.I. in that time. |
OP, if you have loose stool for 4-6 weeks insist on a colonoscopy with multiple biopsies to check for Microscopic Colitis. |
Ok don’t really care if you buy it. It’s not that hard to get an appointment. You pick pick up the phone an call. It’s just a random GI in Virginia. lol. When you’re pooping 5x a day it’s very easy to get a sample. Then you mail the box and voila- you have results. |
No, the GI said to repeat the test in 3 weeks or have colonscopy if level stays elevated. Full body MRI isn’t needed. |
Then I guess your GI is busier. Might want to find another. Or maybe mine had a cancelation. They’re amazing! |
Yes thanks will do. |

My child had E. coli and similar presentation. It never got better until we eliminated wheat, went GF.
It was as if the E. coli triggered a gluten sensitivity. It looks several week and now everything is normal again but we kept up the GF diet. We need to repeat the calprotectin as a follow up. Sympathy to you, OP. It's very disruptive to normal life. |
That's a long time to wait to see if cancer is spreading to, or originated from, other parts of the body. |
OP here - thanks all! The GI wants to speak today about results. Appreciate the insight - minus the mean girl.. oops I mean mean mom posters. Ha! |
Sounds like a bowel obstruction. |
We don't believe you. Good luck with your visit inside your head. |
