Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a non-invasive marker of gastrointestinal inflammation with advocated diagnostic precision in distinguishing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from non-IBD diagnoses. FC correlates with abnormalities seen on small bowel barium radiology, but little data exist in relation with small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE). To investigate the value of FC as a selection tool for further investigation of the small bowel with SBCE, in a cohort of patients who had negative bi-directional endoscopies, but with continuing clinical suspicion of Crohn's disease (CD).
