My middle son's friend has encephalitis, and has been hospitalized for over three weeks. He is in a medically induced coma.

If any of you would hold him in your heart and send up a prayer on his behalf (and his family's), I would be very grateful. If you could put him on your church's prayer board, his name is Noah.

And he's only 8 years old.

Thank you so much,

Alison

Consider it done immediately, will pray for Noah and his family - I can't imagine what life is like for them right now. Bedside vigils and cafeteria food and life on hold....I would imagine

Apparently, it started with a stomach virus.

Thank you so much, everybody. From what I have heard, it still looks grim. :(

Please keep the prayers coming....

Oh how awful.....poor thing. I'll be saying prayers for him too.

I'll be giving my kids some extra cuddles today.....sometimes life gets so hectic and chaotic, I take for granted that they'll be here another day. Hearing a story like this just makes me want to savor every moment with them.

Keep us updated, I hope the little guy is able to pull through.

Thanks, Amanda. He is very sad and very serious. I emailed his teacher at school to see if the class could pray for Noah, even though most of them don't know him.

We so wish we could do more than pray....

I couldn't help thinking of Noah all weekend. I have a long prayer list this month and Noah is certainly on it. Please keep us up to date on his condition.

The school is going above and beyond--the whole school is praying for Noah every morning until he comes home!

Wow! I take it that this is not a public school that your son goes to.

I've said another prayer for Noah, his family, the doctors and nurses taking care of him. Also said a prayer for all of his friends too.

Thank you so much, everybody.

His doctors are changing his meds this week, and say that they really don't know what to expect, but that they fear that he is in for a bumpy ride this week.

Please keep the prayers coming....

Prayers for Noah and his family.

This might cheer you up. My sister had it when she was 3 and we were told she would die or remain comatose. She is currently 38 and anything but in a coma! Miracles CAN happen!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
