Agreed about seeing another physician. Endoscopy is limited to the upper GI tract (esophagus, stomach, duodenum) and the lower tract (large intestine). The majority of the small intestine is simply not "reachable" by endoscopy. However, there are alternative diagnostics and treatment options that are best discussed with a board-certified gastro-enterologist. Best of luck to you and your aunt
