Hey .. I just found another medical weblog. "Medrants" is an interesting site .. very nicely designed .. and updated quite frequently. I'm very impressed. The author is an internist at UAB. This entry (link above) is on celiac disease. I've diagnosed several cases … it's much more common than I originally learned in medical school (as common as 1 in 200!) … in the past year or so.. I think I've tested for it a handful of times .. and have diagnosed three patients with it. Key symptoms: frequent stools, anemia .. in a thin woman who "never gains weight."
Understanding celiac disease …
