The acute pain, increased cramping and fatigue are most bothersome right now. Despite massive dietary reductions, these symptoms are worsening over my baseline lymphocytic colitis. The calprotectin of 582 aligns with this. I am most concerned about not repeating the small bowel biopsies (the original tissue taken was somehow lost in transit) because it seems that is a critical diagnostic element here. I have a capsule endoscopy scheduled for July but this diagnostic process has been ongoing since March and I’m wondering if I need to push back on the decision not to repeat the EGD for tissue samples
