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.

      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.):

      Christmas Cake

      In the USA we also do a fruit cake that probably has UK origins, and my grandmother's always had lots of rum in it. I just found these:

      Since the originator of the group no is no longer active here, I put you in charge...perhaps you can revive it?
