A member asked:
What test looks at the small intestine? colonoscopy can't see that far, right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Capsule endoscopy: Currently I use a small bowel follow through, ct enterpgraphy and video capsule endoscopy. If there is any positive finding, then a double balloon endoscopy or spirus endoscopy can be used to reach the lesion.
