Exchange In Europe!


Mafyta

Recommended Posts

Mafyta Newbie

Hello everyone!!

My name is Marta, im 16 years old and celiac too. I live in Spain, Europe. B)

Im writing this cos i ever wanted to do an exchange with another teenager to learn english, but it was been complicated to find a family where they could prepare celiac food.

What i would like to do is to meet here on this forum someone celiac to make this exchange. First, he/she would stay in my house next summer for 3 or 4 weeks, visiting Barcelona (this is the city where i live) and arround it. It is very nice. And then, i would go to his house and stay there also for 3 or 4 weeks.

Of course this person should be interested in learning spanish, but if you dont have a very high level doesnt mind, my mum and my big sister speak english too. But it would be better if you are really interested in spanish.

For all the ones that could be interested in this exchange, please, contact me on:

martulinaft@hotmail.com

hope you write soon!! :lol:

I could be interested... I speak some spanish and am going to Spanish school in Costa Rica in the spring. I've never been to Europe... I'll look into it. (Even I know the Spaniards don't consider Latim spanish really spanish sometimes...)

Hi Marta.

I am 16 also and I live in Gainesville, Florida, US. I'm a celiac too.

I've taken 3 years of Spanish in school and I am on my 4th. I really love learning Spanish.

I might be interested in the exchange. But I won't know about my summer plans until around February. It depends on whether or not I get the job I'm applying for.

I don't know if February is too late to plan, but if you don't find anyone before that, and if I'm available, I would love to do it.

hey marta,

i have an aim but not msn or icq. i have been thinking about getting msn though, so i probably will soon.

I have been to England, France, and Russia and might visit Germany for a week this summer.

My mother pointed out the other day that since we don't live in a really large city, you might get a little bored. Gainesville is only about 120,000 people or something like that. but we are 2 hours from Orlando, 2.5 hours from Tampa, and 1.5 hours from jacksonville.

My parents are still considering whether or not they would let me do the exchange. My email is maya918@gmail.com. If my parents decide they will let me do it, and if I don't have a job, I would love to do the exchange.

Talk to you later

Maya

Hey I live in Florida too! South florida though. I might be interested. I've never been to Europe. I'm in Spanish 3 and 4 this year and hopefully I will continue on in AP spanish next year and I think a trip to Europe would really expand my vocabulary. I'm not sure whether I can go, but my email is horsegal1139@bellsouth.net if you want to talk. (My name's Julie by the way) :)

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
