Another "brother story."  My brother's doctor was refusing to test
him for CD, even though he had symptoms and I had been recently
diagnosed.  I sent him a medical information sheet that I had been
given by one of the celiac assosciations (I don't remember which)
and it specifically mention family incidence.  After showing her
this sheet, his doctor agreed to the test.

His doctor didn't know much about CD except that it was "rare."
When presented with medical information about it, it made a big
difference.
