Dr. Mutlu shares how Crohn's disease is diagnosed.

Dr. Mutlu:
Crohn’s disease is diagnosed similar to the other inflammatory bowel diseases. The person has to have the right type of symptoms, as well as the person has to have a colonoscopy and/or an endoscopy to look at the potentially affected areas, and biopsies need to be taken from these areas to prove that the person has inflammatory changes and ulcerations in these areas that are compatible with Crohn’s disease.
