Hello all,
I've not posted on here in agesss as things Crohn's wise have been doing fine. However 6 months ago I started treatment for ms. It's called gilenya. My bathroom habits have changed though and instead of going regularly it's now the opposite. I can go days without going and when I do my stomach is sore and crampy for a while afterwards. I was having lots of pain going to the toilet a few weeks ago but my mum was taking hospital with blood clots in her lung and I just put my new stomach issues down to stress. I was to hand in a sample for my regular check up with my Crohn's dr which is not until next month and today when I was seeing my gp he told me my calprotectin levels were 700. Looong story short am I in another flare or could my new medication be the factor for the raised levels??? Any help very much appreciated.
Hope you all are as well as you can possibly be!! Xxx
