My CRP is negative. Do I still have IBD because I am getting frequent motions, indigestion and a feeling of stool leakage? I am attaching my blood report. Thanks.

A negative CRP reduces the likelihood of active inflammation, but IBD cannot be ruled out based on CRP alone. Frequent motions and indigestion could be due to IBS or infections. Please consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

Can IBS be a result of consuming too many antibiotics? I underwent H. pylori eradication treatment which was started late, but even after eradication I continued to experience significant gastric issues. Especially after my periods, I feel a lot of pain and discomfort in my stomach. My doctor said I have IBS. Could IBS be caused by prolonged use of antibiotics?
