My cats eat gluten free, the fish don't. My boyfriend feeds them, thankfully. I have looked into making fish food, not quite sure if I want to go that route or not.

I had a look on Amazon and it seems "Taste of the Wild" is very popular..is that the one you use BM?    I do like to feed my dogs "normal food" sometimes too, like liver or chicken, which they love, as I always wonder what actually goes into dog food.

I use the Taste of the Wild for my little dog. She has lots of allergies and it seems it took forever to find a food which didn't produce a reaction. Tractor Supply has recently come out with a line of grain free foods but I haven't looked into them except to note that they are about $4 less a bag than the Taste of the Wild.

Beth, let me know it turns out, if you end up making your own fish food. I have fish as well, which eat gluten, since there's no commercial goldfish flakes that are gluten free, that I know of.

I haven't been able to find any either Ruth. I did look up a few recipes a month or so ago, but haven't gotten around to making any of them. I have 5 fish tanks in my house though, with a lot of various fish and crabs, that's a lot of fish food to make lol. I think I'm going to have to though, I'm still having issues and that's the only gluten in the house.

After researching it a lot, I switched my cat over to raw food. I was able to find one that cost the same as the pricy gluten free kibble I was feeding her. There are a lot of health benefits to feeding your animals raw food.

All my pets are gluten free :) Also, if you do the frozen fish food (blood worms, algae, etc.) those are also gluten free and much better for your fishy friends than the standard pellets. It is a little bit more expensive but its not going to break the bank. My dogs are on a mix of a home cooked diet and Blue Freedom wet and dry foods with veggies like carrots and broccoli for treats.

      Hair loss

      By TessaBaker · Posted

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.

      Thank you for your welcome and reply.  Yes I've been carefully reading labels looking for everything in bold and have been amazed by what I have seen. However Heinz tomato and basil soup is wheat free so I m thinking I already have ulcers?  The acid could be causing the pain . My pain always starts in one place then follows the same route through me . GP confirmed that is the route of our digestive system.  So much pain from stabbing to tearing. If I throw in milk with lactose it's horrific.  Many years of it now, won't go into details but been seeing a consultant for a supposedly different problem . Wondering what damage has been done over the years. Many thanks for your reply. Wishing you the very best.

      Welcome to the forum community, @Fluka66! Did you realize that the vast majority of all canned soups use wheat starch as a thickener, including such common commodities as Campbell's tomato soup?

      Hello. Any help would really steady my nerves right now. I realised recently that certain food left me in agonising pain so eliminated from my diet. I also have a swollen lymph node. My very caring Dr did some blood tests and I went back the other day to see another equally caring Dr . She looked at the test results one result has come back with something wrong. It came very fast so I'm afraid I didn't catch what it was. Anyway the urgent referral to ENT. She did say as I had already eliminated gluten it wouldn't say anything on the results and neither Drs nor I were prepared to reintroduce gluten . I've just had some tomato soup and again in agony only thinking this must have aggravated maybe existing problems. Does anyone know what I'm facing now ? My swollen lymph node , pain when eating gluten and lactose and I'm assuming the acidity of tomatoes triggering pain.  I'm trying to stay calm and to be honest I've been in intolerable pain at times rendering me unable to stand up straight but I've always just got on with it . Guess I'm reaching out and would really appreciate any wise or unwise words at this stage. Wishing you all the very best as you live with this illness. Fluka66
