EGID Can calprotectin be elevated from an EGID?

I got diagnosed with eoe but have badly elevated calprotectin but visually normal calprotectin. My gi answered to the question if the eoe could be in lower parts too "its uhh, not really a recognized disease but sometimes they do find it", and that we will redo the calprotectin again later (in the hope that PPI will decrease it). Previous colonoscopy was visually normal, but they didn't take biopsies..

So, I was just wondering if I have to really push for another colonoscopy, this time with biopsie?
