Hi everyone. For the past 4-6 weeks I have had minor abdominal pains and increasingly watery stools. Saw GP who did some tests and the Calprotectin stool test came back positive (93) which could suggest I have IBD (e.g. Chrons or UC). I'm being referred to a Gastroenterologist for more tests (probably a colonoscopy).
Really worried about all this - especially because I read that IBD is more common in people with Type 1 Diabetes. Anyone have both of them and can reassure me it's not the be-all-and-end-all if I end up with them both too? I find living with T1D hard enough, adding another auto-immune disease must be so difficult.
