I am looking for a pen pal to communicate with somebody that has celiac. Hopefully from the ages of 11-14.

I am looking for a family to host a foreign exchange student with celiac disease. Her prospective host family just dropped out. She is a 15 year old student from Italy and will come to the United States from August 2024 to June 2025.

Can you be more specific? Where in the USA or is that open at this point? Are you look for an urban environment or small town/rural?

I live in Greensboro, NC and would like to keep her within 125 miles of here so I can monitor during here stay. She has been given this opportunity to come to the US by Greenheart Exchange and I would hate for her to loose this chance. I have found not too many people are willing to work with a student like this. The student comes with their own money and health insurance. The host family provides a bed and three meals a day.

The student can live anywhere in the country with a host family that has been properly vetted.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t...

      Endoscopy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given your history of a high TTG (167) that decreased to 16 on a gluten-free diet, along with genetic confirmation of celiac disease, it’s likely the negative biopsy is a false negative due to not eating gluten before the endoscopy. Gluten is necessary to trigger the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and avoiding it can lead to healing and a normal biopsy despite ongoing immune activity (reflected in your still-elevated TTG). The inflammation observed during the endoscopy (“diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa”) could be residual damage, mild ongoing inflammation, or another condition like peptic duodenitis, but it’s consistent with celiac disease in context. Continued positive blood...

      Yes, it sounds like great progress, but what was the time frame between the two endoscopies?
