A member asked:

What tests are used to diagnose stomach tuberculosis? suffer from abdominal pain-at navel area, heaviness, gas, constipation, diarrhea, bloating.thanks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GI Tbc: This is a very uncommon condition in the usa. Generally occurs when you have pulmonary tuberculosis and reduced gastric acidity so that organisms are swallowed and make it past the stomach into the intestinal tract beyond. You should be seen by a gastroenterologist and evaluated and make sure to voice your concerns about tuberculosis. Hope you are better soon.
