| Pooping in a box is not gonna tell you if you have IBS. |

The elevated number points to IBD vs IBD. |

Sorry meant when calprotectin levels are normal, it points to IBS. |

| Anyone had high calprotectin? |

| How high was it? |

587. Dr said that’s mild-moderate |

| Sounds like it could be a colon cancer. |

Why do you say that over IBD? Or just trying to scare me. It’s not likely with clear colonoscopy but always a chance. GI is leaning towards infection. |

A viral infection? Like cocksackie or norovirus? |

Infection panel was negative but he still thinks likely at the moment. |

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. |
