A member asked:
How exactly is inflammatory bowel disease diagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Combination : Medical and family history, exam, lab work (looking for inflammatory markers), tests (ugi, ct, MRI etc), endoscopy w biopsy. They all help narrow the diagnosis. Biopsy is most definitive but not always helpful.
