there is a stool test that collected feces for 24 hrs or so and checked the
fat content. It was only one of several screening tests run before running a
biopsy.
A positive stool test is not definitive enough for a CD diagnosis. I think
that the blood serum tests are mostly used for screening now prior to a
biopsy, which is still considered the final determination of CD.
