Question 1

faecal calprotectin result was 85 and inconclusive. i'm on lansoprazole, naproxen and gabapentin, could these give false results? higher than is?

Accepted Answer

No: The fecal calprotectin is a relatively sensitive test for inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn's disease and is not affected by the medications you mention. HOWEVER it is technically possible that Naproxen which is an NSAID can inflame your GI tract! Ask your Gastroenterologist for his/her input!
Hope this helps

Question 2

what are the dangers of taking gabapentin

Accepted Answer

Gabapentin problem: In 2008, the us food and drug administration mandated warning labeling for anticonvulsant medications regarding the increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Patorno et al 2010 found gabapentin, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine, and tiagabine, compared with the use of topiramate, may be associated with an increased risk of suicidal acts or violent deaths. Gabapentin by itself is beneficial.

Question 3

do you prescribe gabapentin?

No. (wrong forum): No medical care on this public free forum. Neurontin (gabapentin) is a drug used to treat nerve pain, and is helpful in relieving symptoms.

One's own doctor can help decide if Gabapentin should be used.
