Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician. Your case has been allotted to me.
I understand your concern your fecal calprotectin result of 93 and previous colonoscopy showing chronic non-specific colitis and infective ileo-colitis can understandably raise questions about inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome.
â
Advices
⢠Fecal calprotectin is a marker of intestinal inflammation. Mildly elevated levels, like yours, can occur with infections, minor inflammation, or chronic non-specific colitis and do not confirm IBD on their own
⢠Maintain a balanced diet avoiding foods that trigger symptoms, such as very spicy or oily meals
⢠Keep a symptom diary noting abdominal pain, stool frequency, consistency, blood in stool, and any systemic symptoms
What to Monitor
⢠Persistent diarrhea, blood in stool, weight loss, or fever
⢠Increase in abdominal pain or new gastrointestinal symptoms
⢠Any changes in bowel habits lasting more than a few weeks
Management
Since your previous colonoscopy already evaluated the colon and the doctor did not recommend repeat examination, ongoing management should focus on symptom control and monitoring. Avoid self-starting strong medications. If symptoms worsen or new red flags appear, further investigation may be needed.
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
⢠Blood in stool or black tarry stools
⢠Significant unintentional weight loss
⢠Severe abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, or fever
Every patient situation is unique. For accurate interpretation and a personalized plan, it is important to review your full medical history, lab results, and current symptoms.
