Gastritis, IBS, Calprotectin Fecal 204

Posted , 2 users are following.

hello everyone,

my name is Anthony and im 36 yrs of age and 161lbs. i was diagnosed with ibs along with having chronic inactive mild gastritis 6 months ago. currently I still have this gastritis and ppis don't help at all so it doesn't seem to be getting better with the mild burning and now I have the cramping going on in my stomach. I've had a upper endoscopy done to confirm the gastritis along with a complete metabolic panel done. My Calprotectin fecal test came back abnormal my level is at 204 when the normal range is 120 or below. I saw the results today and kind of freaked out my doctor hasn't gone back to me cuz the results came today. would the gastritis be causing this high level of 204? anyone else have this happen to them? I've also noticed that I have mild enlarged spleen very mild. and I also have chronic liver disease but all my liver enzymes are fine now and I have lost 117 lb since January of this year and i was really overweight at 278lbs . I am seeing a liver doctor for this. has anyone had a high level of Calprotectin along with their gastritis? i also have hypothyroidism as well.

    hi anthony, i know how you feel as gastritis is what i have on top of other things. only 1 little bottle up to twice a day, no ppi's they mask the problem. just try this ONLY - talk to your chemist 1st though they should know about you first, they are better than doctors some day. good luck!
