CT/capsule endoscopy: Ct or ct enterography will allow you the best global picture of everything in the abdomen. Ultrasound can show solid abdominal organs but is limited evaluating air containing structures like large/small bowel. For direct visualization of the mucosa, capsule endoscopy (small cameral you swallow) may work. It all depends on the clinical indication.
