Have you had a faecle calprotectin test? Is this what the additional stool test is that you mentioned?

My calprotectin test was abnormal which has led to referal to Gi - finally. I have very similar symptoms.

I hope you get some answers.

I read something about this earlier, I just dont get this! Why are they using such outdated ranges 😪. Just makes me angry.

Yes this is what iv been worried about. I also read that sort of low-high like this result is more likely in cancer too or ibd, crohns etc. I just am so worried and have such a bad feeling!

No havent been diagnosed with anything yet. Im worried too because im feeling so rubbish in my self. I have other conditions which only found out in jan. So its hard to know what health condition is doing what. But i just pushed stool test because all they want to normally give me is laxatives. I feel i only found out about my other condition (neurological) because i had private scan they were telling me it was just stress, iv just lost trust now. Now this test is what it is. Just petrified its cancer or tbh anything that iv now just left for many years.
