Colonoscopy
I had a stomach infection last month June 1. Since then I've been having constant stomach cramps stomach pai loose stools. Did a stool test that found no blood no mucus in stool but the calprotectin level was elevated to 178 ug/g thus the gastroenterologist wanted to do a colonoscopy to be on the safer side. Colonoscopy they found everything normal except mild distal ileitis, doctor diagnosed it as post infectious IBS and non specific ileitis and has told me not to worry and it will self resolve. Biopsy was also taken and the report came yesterday saying lamina propria shows mild chronic lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate no atypia no dysplasia no malignancy found. My gastro doctor is out of town but assured me through WhatsApp messages that nothing is wrong and not to worry again. But I need a second opinion since Internet searches have made me paranoid. Is this IBD or something more severe like cancer or pre cancerous or self resolving, kindly advise.

According to the things you have mentioned in your query there are no pre-cancerous or cancerous lesions. They just show inflammation.
So you need not be paranoid about cancer. IBS can be temporary and self limiting or chronic and long standing, but IBS is not a severe disease like cancer, it's a common syndrome which can be managed by lifestyle modifications and/or treatment.
Hope this assures you/ answered your query.
