Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis Diagnosis
Your doctor may diagnose eosinophilic gastroenteritis by taking a physical exam and your full medical profile. Based on the collected information, they will perform one or more of the following tests:
– Surgical biopsy: A tissue sample is collected to look for signs of chronic inflammation
– Endoscopy: A tiny camera is inserted into the stomach to look for signs of irritation and ulcers in the digestive tract
– Allergy testing: It helps look for food allergies, a possible cause of eosinophilic gastroenteritis. It would involve an oral food challenge or skin prick testing. [6]
