I am sure it is that easy in the US. Here in Canada it is almost impossible
to get doctors to do antibody blood tests. For some reason, the dominant
paradigm is that the tests are unrelaible. I know several people who have
been refused.

I am satisfied, from the articles I've read, that these blood tests are more
reliable than the single biopsy endoscopy. I'm not involved in the medical
field though, so my opinion doesn't count for much.

Any suggestions as to how to counter that perspective among doctors?

Best Wishes,
Ron
