Hi
I’ve been ill for years with ibs and Candida . Recently I’ve had high calprotectin levels ( inflammation in my instestines) , severe right sided pain and impaction. After clear tests for IBD I’m still none the wiser. Can anyone help?

I spoke to an amazing nutritionist that adviced me to cut out bread, lactose and sugar to reinstate the good bacteria in my gut. I can honestly say it is the best thing I ever did to overcome my symptoms. There are so many lactose free products out there that I don’t even really feel like I am missing out. I haven’t had pain or symptoms since cutting these things out.
I think diet has a huge part to play in controlling Ibd and Ibs, as well as many other conditions. There are loads of books and internet information on the anti inflammatory diet that can also help to relieve symptoms.
I hope this helps.

What reading has the calpro tests been showing? It's not an IBD test per se but I've been told high calpro inflammation levels can only be IBD or an infection. If it's the latter it could simply pass or it could be something like a travel bug you're carrying.
