High crp since 3 reports
Hi doctor, I am under treatment of IBS since 2 month and taking antaacid, probiotic and colospa tablet since 2 month. Symtoms has improved and frequency of motion pass reduce to 2-3 per day ( only when eat outsiders) I did my CBC , esr , abdominal ultrasound, CRP and stool occulatl test All came normal expect crp. Crp came 12 in March , 13 in April and now 15. My doctor is suggesting me to go for colonoscopy to check any infection. I requested her that i am scared of coloscopy due to hypochondria anxities. And if my symtoms are improving and stool analysis tests are nornal...do i still need to go for coloscopy. My age is 32 and there is no history of any cancer in family yet. Could my crp high due to colon cancer ?? I have told all 100% symtoms correctly. Attaching last report copy. Please guide me correctly.

IBD itself can be a cause of high CRP. I request you continue your treatment for IBS. In case you are worried about colorectal cancer, you can go ahead with two blood tests, namely serum CEA and serum CA19.9
Next Steps
Kindly get back with reports of the above mentioned tests
