Gastro appointment

Hi all, I had a follow up gastro appointment after my colonoscopy which really annoyed me.

I had the usual diarrhoea, cramping and joint pain starting in november which lasted 6 weeks. My calprotectin was at 670 during this time

Had my colonoscopy after my symptoms calmed down and they didn't find much and my calprotectin fell to 235 3 months after my 1st test

My gastro Dr is now saying he thinks it was an infection but I was tested for all the usual bacterias and parasites. Also no one around me got sick, I share my home with my partner and he didn't even get slightly ill. I also didn't feel like I had norovirus, I had no fever, no vomiting and just didn't exactly feel ill other than the stomach issues and joint pain.

I'm worried I'm now going to be forgotten about when I do really feel like its small intestine crohns not an infection. Any advice?
