<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> 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
