Hello all. I've had endometriosis diagnosed and mostly coping for 15 years now. IBD is a separate puzzle to solve as I am, when I request a faecal sample be tested, coming back with elevated calprotectin. For example, a cut off of 50 has had results of 58, 131 and 436 over the last few years.

One doctor proposed today that the endometriosis is the cause, could this actually be the case?

Confused and feeling quite down as everything down there seems to be kicking off just now. Thanks.
