What medical tests can i take to check, have i damaged my digestion system with a poor diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No such test: Your digestive system handles what you put into it. There's no test to see 'digestive system damage'. You should get a lipid profile done to check your cholesterol. In some cases high cholesterol and poor diet can contribute to fatty liver. A complete metabolic profile could also be checked.
