Hello guys, I would have question, if have somebody the same stuff.

I am 32, I have still kinda gut issue. Usually not really serious ones. I went to colonoscopy 4 years ago, everything was clean and fine. Now I started have again some cramp. They did to me some calprotectin test - in 02/2022, 09/2022 and two weeks ago. The first two had value around 10, so they diagnosed me with IBS. But this last one has value 62. I know, that normal is up to 50 and this is really slightly above, but as I am stresser, this kinda concered me as I really scrared of IBD.

My question is - do you have any experience to have higher calprotectin with IBS? I would just add - I have nowdays kinda stressful situation. I had kinda mental breakdown 4 days before I sent my last stool to test. Also, due to my stomach I am taking for a few weeks Nolpaza (pantaprazol). Could this stuff make my calprotectin a little higher? (also since Christmas I have some issue with stomach - dull pain under breastbone and on the right side, sometimes to back. It was for a few days, then it return after two weeks (after my breakdown), then it went go away and last week it come again for a three days. Today I have no pain).

Can be all of this IBS? Higher calprotectin and this kind of pain?

Thanks 😃
