A member asked:
Investigating cfs & enteritis: with bloating, gi gas, mucus, some diarrhoea, odd weight change & failsafe diet, which non-blood tests would be useful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Would consider...: Colonoscopy to the terminal ileum with biopsies and Abdominal/pelvic CT scan at the start of your evaluation, especially if stool contains blood (occult or visible). Also, have infectious causes (stool testing) and celiac disease been ruled out yet?
