We don't believe you. Good luck with your visit inside your head.

Sounds like a bowel obstruction.

Definitely. Op needs a colonoscopy and a full-body MRI, stat!

No, the GI said to repeat the test in 3 weeks or have colonscopy if level stays elevated. Full body MRI isn’t needed.

That's a long time to wait to see if cancer is spreading to, or originated from, other parts of the body.

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.

Yes thanks will do.

Then I guess your GI is busier. Might want to find another. Or maybe mine had a cancelation. They’re amazing!

Not buying this.

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.
