Glutened By Cat Litter?

Could it be that my DH is from using Swheat Scoop Cat Litter? It's made from wheat. If so does this mean I can't touch my cats?? OMG! I need a therapist. Tomorrow I'll change the cat litter, but to what? World's Best is corn based. Maybe I'll try Yesterday's News, which I think is made from old newspapers. Watch...I'll be allergic to ink too! I'm afraid to move.

Try Yesterday's News. There's a brand called Exquisicat that makes litter out of pine, corn, wheat, and paper. Not all in one! Lol I've been using the pine one and it smells good too :) You can find them at Petsmart. good luck to you and your kitty(s). :)

And yes some people have reactions just from touching gluten.

I use plain clay based litter, the cheapest I can find, and some folks will add plain baking soda to it to control odors.

I wouldn't use the wheat based since I don't want to breathe in the dust and kitties will track the wheat all over and when they clean their paws they can distribute the wheat all through their coats. The same applies to pet food with wheat ingredients.

      Get your total IGA checked to make sure your celiac antibody test scores are trustworthy.

      I do eat 4 slices of wheat bread with almond butter. Yes it was a reference to my iron consumption.

      To give you a frame of reference for pretesting gluten consumption necessary to ensure valid antibody testing, here is the current recommendation for those who have been on a gluten free diet: The daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken...

      Thanks for your insight. I've been eating wheat bread at least 5 times a week for several months. I've been eating chicken or eggs 5 days a week for at least a year.

Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken. They are not sources of gluten. Was that in reference to dietary iron consumption?
