A new insight into non-specific abdominal pain

David S Sanders et al. Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 2006 Mar.

Abstract

This review aims to change clinical practice and alert clinicians to consider that unrecognised coeliac disease may present acutely with abdominal pain. Targeting patients who have non-specific abdominal pain or coeliac-associated symptoms/diseases may improve diagnosis.
