Gi. I've been suffering on and off for year with bad stomach cramps, bloating and diarrhoea.  Since April this year I jave really been suffering. Anyway, after finally getting to see a dr I was asked to send off stool samples. My calprotectin levels are 5304. This is all new to me but s this bad? There is a history of Crohns on my dad's side of the family. Dr isn't contacting me until Wed next week. I'm just really worried .

Thanks 

  • Welcome to the forum Trippy2018 although I'm sorry to hear about all the symptoms you've been contending with over the last year.

    I'm also sorry for the worry your calprotectin levels are causing. Hopefully some of our members who have had similar findings will share their experiences and advice with you soon but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable in this field and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    I know the next few days are going to be tough, but we're thinking of you Trippy2018 and wishing you all the best for Wednesday.

    Kind regards,
