Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. In bowel inflammation, calprotectin may be detected in the stool. The faecal assay suggests direct information about the inflammation. I suggest you to consult a physician and get an ultrasound abdomen, pancreatic enzymes. I need more details about your disease.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
