I’ve heard they are unreliable but I don’t know that for sure.

I would keep going back to your GP until they do one for you they shouldn’t be ruling it out at all and refusing to do it.

GP can’t do it because of the Trust rules has to be Consultant and he’s ruled out Crohns without the test so a bit of a difficult situation. Hence why I thought I might just try doing the test myself.

Each trust has its own rules so it’s a postcode lottery!
