A member asked:
Are there any early indicatiors if the thickening of the duodenum is from infection vs cancer or food allergy? or wait for histology from biopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no good way to tell for sure without a biopsy but I can tell you that food allergy is not expected to cause duodenal thickening.
