Speaking Of Dog Food

The previous dog food thread got me thinking. We feed our two toy poodles Blue Buffalo Life Protection formula small breed formula dry food. I just looked and while it doesn't contain wheat, it does contains three kinds of barley. Would you be concerned about this. Honestly I breathe in the fumes two days a day when I scoop out their food and they both love to give kisses. What you do guys think?

Thanks!!!!

I avoid gluten in my dog food. Why? Well, the scoop I use for the food may get set down on the counter. Neo (standard poodle! :) ) *loves* to like hands, arms, pants, toes (anything) after eating or drinking. And occasionally a piece of food falls onto the counter. The dog certainly doesn't need it, and it's just a lot easier if it's not there at all.

You are right! I think I will switch dog foods. Our little ones, Teddy and DeeDee aren't usually picky so I'm sure we will find something they like that is safe for us too. The little girl is a rescue poodle and the poor thing will eat anything, she is so thankful for any food at all!

Although our dogs are not strictly outdoor dogs, they are only fed outdoors and their food is stored in the outdoor kennel. So I don't worry about barley in their food. Their food is wheat-free and that's good enough for me. I always wash my hands when I come in from my outdoor animal chores anyway.

If I were storing their food or feeding them in my kitchen, that would be different. I don't think I'd want their gluten-containing dog food all over my kitchen, even though my kitchen isn't strictly 100% gluten-free. It's hard to teach dogs rules about food contamination.

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
