Can crp test rule out ibd? I am getting epigastric pain sometimes, i think gastritis but my doctor had ordered a crp, it came to be 1.02 (0-8 range). Is it normal? Please guide me and he has advised me for endoscopy, but i am scared that it will find something bad :(. With this anxiety i am not able to sleep :(

CRP may or may not be raised in IBD. It is not related to IBD.

Please follow your treating doctor's advice and get the endoscopy done. Crp is non specific.

Crp cannot rule out ibd. You can always take a second opinion before doing a procedure.
