I did the hookworm larva collection and inoculation today. It took 1/2 hr with doing everything right and safely, including clean-up.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A13):
You can see the 5 jars I prepared a week ago in the pic. Only #2 jar had a good number of larvae so it was the only jar I used. I placed enough drops onto a checker board scored Petri dish until I had 25 and soaked them up onto a gauze bandage. It wasn't worth the effort to pipette out one extra larva in the last drop so I ended up with 26 this time.

Things have been going extremely well GI-wise of late. Just one or two firm bowel movements per day. No reactivity to anything that I've noticed. I just have to be careful to eat well, with no dietary restrictions besides nuts.
