Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Diarrhea remains one of the common reasons for out patient attendance. Complains of recurrent episodes of diarrhea lasting for more than 10 days, especially associated with weight loss, should be evaluated thoroughly in order to diagnose treatable conditions. A good history, meticulous examination avidly supported by laboratory evaluation will unmask most of these diseases. We present one such case of chronic recurrent diarrhea which eventually turned out to be Celiac disease.
