High calprotectin levels

Hi all, 

Over new year I suddenly become very poorly I was diagnosed with Covid and campylobacter virus (food poisoning) I was sent for a ct scan where they flagged up Crohn’s disease. After taking stool sa les a few days later it’s come in that my calprotectin levels are over 6000. I’ve been booked in as an emergency to have colonoscopy next Monday. It’s been over 2 weeks now I cannot keep anything i food or drink it’s comes straight out. I have lost 2 stone in less than 2 weeks I’m really scared  does anybody have any similar stories that came back ok? 
thank you x

  • All I can comment on is the fact that for quite a few weeks everything I ate went in one end and out the other ,when I say everything I mean everything ,this was early last year  ,and I lost weight then I had a positive fit test which lead to me having a Colonoscopy and a CT scan but thankfully nothing sinister was found ,If they have flagged up Crohn's Disease I'd be thinking along those lines rather than anything more sinister ,if you have any questions on the Colonoscopy just ask ,I've had 2 now so might be able to help .
