A member asked:

Gastroscopy to check my stomach and duodenum. samples were taken and initial diagnosis of gastritis and duodenitis. are samples checked for coeliac?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Biopsy 4 celiac.: Biopsy samples of the duodenum should evidence findings consistent with celiac disease, as long as the samples are taken from the appropriate area, which may then depend on the GI doctor's clinical suspicion of celiac disease. Generally speaking, though, a suspicion of celiac disease can be confirmed histologically.
