Calprotectin Level

Hi All,

Had a question for anyone who can help. I was diagnosed with Left-Sided Colitis in September of 2015. Currently on just Remicade every 8 weeks at 5mg.

Have been in a clinical and mostly symptom free remission for little over a year . I believe the last colonoscopy I had showed no signs of any UC and as if I never had this beauty.

Recently moved, commute to work went from 20 minutes to about an hour on the NYC MTA. Obviously some increased anxiety giving me some extra urgency in the morning but nothing during the day or on the weekends.

Recently test my Calprotectin, which came back at 186, above the norm but my GI said not to worry and stay the course.

I am afraid I am slipping out of remission or is can this be attributed to my move, increased commute and anxiety

anything that can ease my mind would help.

thanks in advanced and good luck to everyone!

Thanks John! I will ask him if I should do that, I have some of the generic mesalamine enemas still package at home from 2016.

He mentioned he would check the level again at my next appointment in 2/3 months but reiterated not worry as i told him that my stools are still well formed and solid and this is happening only in the early morning before my commute.
