A member asked:
Hi. i've been told by my gp that i have had a high reading on my faecal calprotectin test. is this definitely ibd or can this be ibs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe you have both?: You may have IBS, but the elevated fecal calprotectin raises the possibility as well or instead of colonic inflammation. Further testing is indicated...
