I am a father of a boy who is 16 years old. He is a celiac. We live in Norway and my son has a wish to go to high school in USA for a year. I seek information from people who have experience hosting a celiac exchange student.

I don't have any specific advice for you other than that the U.S. is starting to become more aware of Celiac Disease, so your son will fare much better than, say, if he were to have come ten years ago. Do you know what area of the U.S. he would be coming to? Maybe someone on this board from that region would be able to give him (and his host family) some tips.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
