GNUmed will faithfully (or it should) print what the doctor ordered.

If one wants to differentiate DD from final Dx one needs to tell
GNUmed which is which:

considered:
1. Gall stone disease
2. chronic panc
3. acid peptic disease
established:
 duodenal ulcer

If the above goes into a soAp printout I don't see a problem.
