Reply to "Calprotectin test"

C. difficile infection causes elevated calprotectin levels as well. C. diff has to be ruled out before assuming the inflammation is due to IBD. Furthermore, all the symptoms you described could be due to C. diff. I had it twice with my pouch and everyone thought it was "regular" pouchitis until the stool test came back. Once I had the right antibiotics, I was back to normal!

Good luck.
