Would a colonoscopy let me know if I have celiac disease?
I’ve had some problems with my stomach for a few years now and think that I might have celiac disease. I had a colonoscopy 3 years ago and my intestines looked fined, so does that mean I don’t have celiac disease or would celiac disease not show up in a colonoscopy?

No, a colonoscopy checks the large intestine and the problems with celiac disease show up in the small intestine so the test used for that is an endoscopy down the throat which is not as bad as it sounds. First would come some blood tests. You need to ensure that you are eating glutenous foods til you get tested.
IT MIGHT NOT SHOW UP, AND ANOTHER TEST REQUIRED SO SEE THE DOCTOR
