No diagnosis

Hi I am 43 had ibs since my 20's, had high white cell count Feb this year, bad pain and going toilet 15 times a day for 3 weeks, antibiotics helped me feel normal for few days, calprotectin 651, then 93 after antibiotics and last one recently 258, colonoscopy one slight red area, signs of diverticular disease but said normal age related etc. Biopsies 9 all ok. Capsule endoscopy clear, crp was up on one blood test but now ok. Still feel churny when eat, still can't go toilet normally bit up and down. My gp said with levels of calprotectin high must be ibd, but can't find what, anyone else start like this but get diagnosis further down line? Had niggle pain always on left side mid way up, and bottom right, thanks
