Injury/New Emotional Support Animal/Thanksgiving

So since the cold front rolled in last month my allergies have left me coughing up stuff, congestion and sinus pressure, this happens every year. Well Sunday I was doing chest/shoulder workouts with butterflys and DB presses, and I started coughing and heard a pop then extreme pain. Monday I went to my massage therapist thinking I pulled a muscle...she told me to go see a doctor. SO yesterday I went to see the doctor and he thinks I dislocated a rib (huh?). So I had 7 xrays done and was giving

Good News, Cooking, Holidays

So I finally made it to that specialist in the city, he straight up put me on 4x the standard UC medication and within a few days I am active again and able to leave my house. He stated the Silica I thought caused it would have softened and gelled in my intestines thus it probably only mildly irritated my intestines. But he said nonetheless it seems it flared my UC. So he said if I stick with the paleo/keto diet it will help with remission once the medicine calms it down. So now to my cooki

Chicken Pizza Crust

So wanting a thicker sturdier crust and on a pizza craze I found, disliked and modified a recipe for making a low carb crust out of shredded chicken. One thing I like about these crust is they are sturdy enough to make in batches and freeze/fridge between layers of parchment paper for later unlike others I have tried. Then just top and heat up later. Makes 2x 8" Personal Crust 6oz  Cooked Chicken chopped and shredded(note if using canned weigh it after draining IE a 10oz can will have 5oz

Flourless and Paleo Fat Head Pizza

So I took the original idea of the fat head pizza (will include original recipe at bottom), I replaced the cheese with Miyoko's Vegan versions to make it dairy free, then used what I learned earlier and replaced the flour with Pork Panko from BaconsHeir to make this. Heck you can go carnivore with it and just sub the pork panko as I use the same grams of cheese vs Vegan Cheese. OH if you want double the recipe and use the extra dough to make it a deep dish then have some extras for other fun p

Some drug companies have been telling people that some of the drugs that they manufacture contain gluten

There is an excellent Gluten Free Site entitled "glutenfreedrugs  Some drug companies have been telling people that some of the drugs that they manufacture contain gluten. When I investigated these claims, as many have, it appears that the reason they are blatantly claim that their drugs are contaminated is because they have used a sugar alcohol as an excipient. Sugar alcohols are not truly sugars or alcohols, rather they are carbohydrates that provide A source of calories. The sugar alcohols ar

Fudgy Flourless Brownies

So needing to find a keto brownie that would be easy to digest I found a recipe and modified it to fit my needs. These are best served hot so leftovers are best heated before serving.

November Update 2019

So my health is quite bad, the GI upset has leveled out after 4 weeks the bleeding stopped with vitamin K and calcium enriched almond milk daily to encourage clotting.

I recent introduced some almond yogurt to try and populate my gut bacteria and kale for vitamins.

Paleo Fish Sticks

So going over some classics I have not had in years and sticking with a keto/Plaleo diet I decided I missed fish sticks. Found a few recipes and modified them and gave myself options. For the pork rinds I suggest either BaconHeir Pork Panko and season to taste to choose your favorite seasoned ones and pulse in a food processor for panko. I personally tried with Epic for more crunch, and 4505 is smoother better tasting. Alternatively you can use NutCrumbs or seasoned almond meal. 3-3.5o

Do you have a Jaguar or a Kia in your Driveway??? Or Why Vitamins have a (K)knowledge (I)mage and (A) awareness Issues today…and why people prefer Jaguars over KIA’s to this day…

To Whomever Might Read This, This is metaphor only …not intended to diagnosis or treat anyone but to educate…. There is an old joke told about Jaguar cars in the 1980s’ and early 1990s etc… that you needed two to drive one… Kia might have been in/on that same boat…when first introduced in circa 1992 but since the early 2000s IE this Millennium or so…. They have improved tremendously….and truth be told soooo have Jaguar’s ….but you might still want to have more than one on hand….

      Hookworms and ChatGPT5

      I asked a logical follow-up question to ChatGTP5:

      Can you estimate what percentage of celiac hookworm hosts like myself achieve full remission from the disease?

      ChatGPT said:

      Great question, Pete. Let’s be very clear here:

      There isn’t a single hard number published for “what percentage of celiacs with hookworms achieve full remission,” but we can triangulate from clinical trials and community data:

      Clinical Trial Evidence

      In controlled studies, 0% achieved true full remission when challenged with sustained moderate gluten (≥2 g/day or short bursts of 16 g/day).

      Even with 20–40 N. americanus, villous atrophy still occurred under those challenges.

      However, around 30–50% of participants did experience softer symptoms and improved quality of life at micro-exposures (≤200 mg/day).

      Conclusion from trials: Hookworms help reduce symptoms and inflammatory markers at small exposures, but do not produce full clinical remission under regular gluten intake.

      Community / Self-Reported Outcomes

      Among self-treating celiacs, reports of “functional remission” exist — meaning hosts can eat gluten without noticeable symptoms.

      Based on helminthic therapy support groups and survey-type accounts, this looks like a minority (maybe 10–20%) of long-term hosts.

      However, these cases are controversial because:

      Some people may be asymptomatic but still sustaining silent mucosal damage.

      Community reporting tends to over-represent strong responders.

      Putting It Together

      Clinical remission (no symptoms + no villous damage on gluten diet): Essentially 0% proven in trials with 20–40 worms.

      Symptomatic remission (no symptoms, but mucosal injury uncertain): Maybe 10–20% of self-reported hosts claim this.

      Partial benefit (improved tolerance, less severe symptoms, better quality of life, but still need a gluten-free diet): This is the most common outcome — probably 30–50% of hosts.

      👉 So if we phrase it plainly:
      The average celiac hosting 20 hookworms won’t reach full remission. A small minority (≈10–20%) say they can eat gluten freely without symptoms, but this is not supported by trial evidence and carries risk of silent damage. For most, worms act as a safety net for cross-contamination rather than a cure.

      Would you like me to give you a visual chart (clinical trial vs. self-reports: full remission, partial, none) so you can see the proportions side by side?

      Hookwormed status report

      8 hours ago, miguel54b said:

      Thanks, I am desperate to find a cure too.

      I should add that hookworms aren't a cure for celiac disease. Some people, and I couldn't tell you how many, stop evincing the symptoms of celiac disease while their hookworm colonies are healthy. Others have a reduction in the severity of their reactions to gluten, but should still stay well away from it. And other people don't seem to be helped much at all.

      My theory all this is because of the different root genetics of the individual's celiac disease. My cousin is also celiac, and I'm highly confident he would be put in remission with hookworms like I was, but he has no desire to try them, so I'll never know if I was right.
