<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> After reading Andrew E. Stevenson"s long and informative post, I was struck by the number of people who reported frustration with doctors who were at best uninformed, and at worst didn't take the patients seriously. I hope that every person who has such an experience with a doctor and later was diagnosed with CD by another doctor will take the time to let the first doctor know about the later diagnosis, and tell the doctor about his/her frustration at their treatment and misdiagnosis. There is a chance that the doctor might learn something from this, and be better able to help some other patient to come along in the future. Sherill Roberts McMinnville, Oregon
