Hi! I want to make sure I don't break any self promotion rules. Is this an acceptable post since I do not mention my blog's name and do not include any links? I've been a member of this forum for years.

"Hey parents - I'd like to put together a list of positive quotes from kids with Celiac. Quotes will be posted on my blog anonymously (I'm not including my blog's name/link because I don't want to break and self promotion rules - just looking to do something inspiring and positive for the community). Please feel free to comment or message me directly :) 1. What's the best part about having Celiac Disease? 2. What is better now that you eat gluten free? 3. What would you want to tell other kids your age who just got diagnosed?"

Why not just do a post asking the 3 questions, not mentioning your blog, and asking for responses rather than personal messages? So a simple post like:

I have 3 questions for everyone, and  I'd like to put together a list of positive quotes from kids with Celiac (I hope to add these anonymously to my blog):

1. What's the best part about having Celiac Disease? 

2. What is better now that you eat gluten free?

3. What would you want to tell other kids your age who just got diagnosed?"

Because I think the moral thing to do is inform the parents that quotes from their kids will be posted online. I include the option to message me because some parents prefer to not post about their children publicly. 

 

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t violate any self promotion since my blog’s name/my full name isn’t stated. Like if someone mentions they work at a restaurant. They aren’t promoting the restaurant, they are just giving context.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
