If your blood test comes back positive (or if your symptoms are really strong, even with a negative blood test), your doctor will refer you to a gastroenterologist. That’s a stomach doctor. They will want to do an endoscopy.
Okay, the word “endoscopy” sounds terrifying, like something from a sci-fi movie. But here’s the truth: you will be sedated. You’ll be in a nice, hazy nap. You won’t feel a thing. The doctor puts a tiny camera down your throat to take a few microscopic samples from your small intestine.
Think of it as a spa day for your insides. You show up, you get cozy, you take a nap, and you wake up with answers. The biopsies are the gold standard for diagnosis. No guessing, no “maybe.” It’s the truth.
