<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I can certainly understand the anger some of us have about misdiagnosis and some of those in the medical profession. However, I don't think it is fair to generalize and blame all those in the medical profession. We are indeed fortunate to have several medical professionals that are interested or concerned enough to take part in these discussions. I hope we don't heap abuse on them because of the actions or inactions of others. Gross generalizations are unfair to far too many in the field. My daughter was "diagnosed" well over a decade ago by a very caring GP that was filling in for her regular doctor. This doctor thought my daughter's low weight and distended (sp?) stomach may be caused by a wheat allergy. We tried to eliminate all wheat (not gluten -- who knew then?) with remarkable results. After seeing the results, the "diagnosing" GP suggested follow-up treatment and analysis by specialists at Boston's Children's hospital, where she did get the biopsy. The rest, as they say, is history. Despite the fact that our GP was not totally correct and did not know what celiac's disease was (she does now), my daughter owes her current excellent health to this doctor doing the best she could. Yes I wish she was diagnosed at birth and we didn't go through the vomit sessions and weight loss, but doctors are human. I appreciate her work though it wasn't perfect. I also appreciate the input of the doctor's and other health care professionals on this list. I know you aren't perfect nor always correct, but which of us is?
