Yes, I had to redo it because I’m on protonix and Pepcid. The GI doctor is thinking the test was so high because of the medicine. So they took me off of them for two weeks and redid the test. It came back normal.
Thank you for checking up on me though.

That is good news, @kaforester3, yes, PPI meds like the ones you mentioned can cause high levels of Chromogranin A that shows up in blood tests.

How you are feeling these days? Are you still having the troublesome symptoms of diarrhea, etc.?
