Comment on: Chronic fatigue syndrome: evaluation and treatment. [Am Fam Physician. 2002]
To the Editor: I have just read the recent article on chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). While the authors present an excellent framework for the evaluation and management of patients with chronic fatigue, they have overlooked a differential diagnosis. Celiac disease, also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy (GSE), may present as CFS and is highly treatable.
