Crp is a nonspecific test. Not diagnostic of inflammatory bowel disease. Speak with GI about your concerns. If your current GInis not helpful, seek a second opinion.

In most labs total crp under 10 is normal. High crp's are only nonspecific markers of inflammation within the body. Did you have an elevated fecal calprotectin level which is seen in active Crohn's disease? Your gastroenterologist is best to advise you,though.
