I had Fecal calprotectin and CRP Blood tests came out as completely OK. Should I still be worried about IBD or something worse? I had anal fissure and doctor tested all these things. sometimes white mucus in stool?
After anal fissure 3 months ago, mucus started to appear in my stool. Dr. Did Fecal calprotectin and hs CRP blood tests. The reports are totally OK. Now still sometimes I see mucus in stool with burning/pain after bowel. What should I do now?
My Fecal calprotectin test, hs CRP tests, CBC blood test, stool test are totally OK. Can i still have IBD (crohn's or ulcerative colitis)? Because sometimes I see mucus in stool with smell. I had anal fissure 3 months ago?
Will a FIT test still process a result if what I collected was mainly mucus instead of actual stool. Also would it still detect blood if there was any?
