Been asked by your doctor to take a stool sample for a Faecal Calprotectin test? It’s not the most glamorous job… but we’ll make it easy.

*Calprotectin is a protein released by white blood cells during inflammation in the gut. Measuring its level in a stool (faeces) sample helps identify and monitor conditions such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

Let’s talk about number two:

💊 Skip Ibuprofen/Naproxen/Diclofenac for 4 weeks,
🚬 Avoid smoking/alcohol for 24 hrs,
💩 Grab the first poo of the day,
🫧 Keep it clean, label it, and pop it back to PEH or your GP within 24 hrs.

Starting solids? Most babies are ready to start solids at (around) 6 months, especially when they can sit with support and have good head control. However, breast milk or formula remains their primary source of nutrition throughout the first year.

Common allergens can be introduced from around 6 months, one at a time, in small amounts.

Need advice or reassurance? Speak to your health visitor or book an appointment with Dr Chloe Savident who has a special interest in allergies, we're here to help!
