A specialist will test for Crohn’s disease in one or more of the following ways:
- Colonoscopy: A procedure by which a small camera is inserted anally to inspect the bowel for signs of Crohn’s disease.
- Biopsy: The removal of tiny parts of the bowel to check for signs of Crohn’s disease
- CAT or MRI scan: A non-invasive procedure requiring the patient to drink a barium sulphate mixture to ensure the bowel shows clearly on the scan.
