Fecal calprotectin 173
I am having left lower abdominal pain since 2 months after i took taxim o 5 day course for a unknown bacterial infection. My crp is 0.2 but today my fecal calprotectin test report says positive with a value of 173. Does this positively means IBD. I have been having first normal stool and second stool as mushy or floaty. My lipase is 25 normal. I do not see blood in my stool. No vomiting. No diarrhea. Sometimes i have constipation. Does these results confirm IBD.

No Fecal calprotectin alone and that too <250 with low crp cannot predict an IBD
