Did you ever find out what your cause was? 

Hi, obviously your going through the same as me and looking answers. What your situation? 

Sorry to hear, did you see the doctor last Aug/Dec time?

Are you going private or did you get seen quickly enough through NHS? 

You seem to be taking medication, did you go give them you? 

For a while I had an itchy bum and some bleeding when pooing, but I googled the symptoms and put it down to piles. But last month it was really sore to poo and then after I felt like I still needed to go. Then I had a stomach bug at work and felt like crap for a few days. So and I  decided to see the doc . 

She checked me over and said I had a slight tear from pushing to hard but no sign of haomroids or piles. She asked for a stool sample and it came back 120 calprotein so she has asked for a colonsecope to see why. 

I feel grand now, no symptoms, I've been taken orange juice and high fibre diet to keep my  stool so my butt can heal. 

Just got anxiety about what it all means. I rang and asked how long so the scope and they said like 10 months. So going private. 

Went private in December and specialist said colonoscopy, I did ask for virtual one which he said was fine under nhs but they didn't contact me until April and may only giving me 5 days notice which due to work I couldn't do, also had no symptoms at all. 
 

not taking medication, I did do probiotics but made me extra gassy. Internal pils you can't always tell or feel by when I took Sheriprotoct that cleared them up. Normally raised Calprotectin is linked to one form of IBD. Yeah scopes are taking forever at the moment due to backlog. Saying that I'm dreading Tuesday week 

My doctor didn't give me much details, getting bloods done on Wednesday so have a week of waiting for results on that. I'm going to private next Monday with the test results. The scope private is still gonna be 10 weeks they said. I'm hoping the inflammation is down and is was just a virus or something. 

Not looking forward to a scope but can't stick this worry. 

Keep me posted. It's nice to speak to someone else 

Bloods aren't always a good indicator with bowel, I have had 4/5 lots over last year and all have been normal (one set late back). Your levels of Calprotectin don't seem crazy high hopefully an infection or something as you say.

Yeah like wise, I hope you get some good news and fast results to help put your mind at ease. 

Hi. 
 

im pretty much going through the same at the moment except my entire body hurts. Joints, muscles etc. My level is 250. I'm usually healthy and have been feel awful for the past couple of weeks. Constant head and feeling puffy. Apparently all may be due to my bowel. It's awful. Hope you all find some answers soon

Hey dude you're not alone. I had high levels too and have been urgently referred to gastroenterology and endocrinology. Constantly fatigued. Can barely do anything and lost quite a bit of weight. Blood in stool.  Hopefully find answers soon. Hope you do to

So awful. The fatigue is unreal. Sometimes comes on all of a sudden too. I have inflammation in all my joints but my whole body hurts if you press. My scalp is even sensitive. Hoping we all get this sorted soon. Will post any results I get. I'm going private so hopefully some answers soon. 

It's awful isn't it. Not knowing and the worry is half the battle. Havent been able to do anything for weeks. Barely leave the couch. hope you get sorted going private. 

Yeah I'll post results too. My bloods are all normal but my inflammatory markers were high in my stool so prompted urgent referral. 

All the best 

The worry is awful and probably making fatigue worse. 
 

Do you have colonoscopy booked? I was meant to have mine today but had such a bad headache I couldn't face the prep so have rescheduled. Even though my head is still so sore, I really wish I had just done it now 

I think they are doing initial observations and then probably will get me booked in for one if it warrants it. 

Yeah I definitely think you should re book one just to be on the safe side and put your mind at ease
