We are trying to put our son into an international high schooling program for the first semester of 2023, but until now, not one of the organizations was able to find a 100% gluten-free homestay family for our 15 year old celiac boy. He is german, going to the swiss college in Curitiba/Brazil, where we are living today. He wants to study in the first half of 2023 in North America in order to improve his english and prepare himself for the International Bachelor Program (IB) which he will join in August 2023. Does anybody knows a program who supports and understands the requirements of a celiac and offers the possibility to study in North America for one semester?

Thanks a lot, Holger (Leo´s dad)

Great timing, because I just received this email from my daughter's high school. You should reach out to this program.

Also, regarding the International Bachelor Program (IB), not too many high schools offer this, but a former neighbor of mine's daughter did this at Montgomery High School in Santa Rosa, California.

      Thank you both. I haven't had access to the test results but will get them and post here.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
