Confirming a Crohn's disease diagnosis is generally accomplished through a combination of testing methods. Our GastroArkansas GI providers may begin the diagnostic process by discussing your health history, the symptoms you are experiencing, and any familial history of Crohn’s or IBD. After performing a physical exam, they may prescribe endoscopic tests (like an EGD or a colonoscopy) and labwork involving blood and fecal samples. MRIs, CT scans, and other diagnostic imaging might also be conducted in the diagnosis of Crohn’s disease.
