Accepted Answer

Treatable: It is thought that fecal calprotectin levels with Crohn's disease of the small bowel is lower than with colon involvement. However, there are no firm guidelines about calprotectin levels. Your gastroenterologist is best qualified to judge when treatment should be started, but from your statements I'd have a low threshold to begin treatment at this time. You could also seek a second opinion.
