How is a digestive disorder diagnosed?
In order to reach a diagnosis for digestive disorders, a thorough and accurate medical history will be taken by your healthcare provider, noting the symptoms you have experienced and any other pertinent information. A physical exam is also done to help assess the problem more completely.
Some patients need to undergo a more extensive diagnostic evaluation. This may include lab tests, imaging tests, and/or endoscopic procedures.

Blood tests for digestive issues

Many digestive conditions cause symptoms that are similar, but the treatment for the conditions can be very different. As a result, your provider may need to perform testing — including blood tests — to confirm a diagnosis. Blood tests can show levels of specific substances in the blood. Digestive issues for which blood tests support a diagnosis include Celiac disease, inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), stomach ulcers, stomach cancer and food allergies.
