<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I was playing around today with a CD-ROM of all medical malpractice lawsuits in the 11 district courts. So of course I did a search on celiac. Up comes one case. The full citation can be found at: http://www.gluten-free.org/celiacmedmal.txt It was settled before trial for $49,000. Here is the text of the case: "A nine-year-old female suffered malnutrition and failure to thrive as a result of celiac disease, which the third-named defendant physician misdiagnosed as cystic fibrosis of the pancreas. The plaintiff contended that the defendant's failure to diagnose and treat the plaintiff's condition fell below the standard of care. The defendants contended that the symptoms of both diseases are so similar that it prevented earlier diagnosis." I am surprised there aren't more medical malpractice lawsuits for failing to diagnose celiac. Don.
