Dog Food & Gluten Symptoms

    I just went to my specialist today for my 6mo. follow up appointment. (I was diagnosed 11mo. ago)  We were talking about the symptoms that I am still experiencing & the LONG list of possible causes.

    He told me of a patient that was having trouble trying to figure out how she was getting 'glutened'.  Ends up that when she would open the bag of dog food, she would get a face full of dust/powder.  He said that dog food is loaded with gluten!

My dog is on a grain free dog food. I do not have to worry about cross contamination and she is thriving!

I cook for my dog :) That has never been my issue. I have always said: I'f I can eat it, my dog can eat it! He has never like noodles, or pasta in any way. Not even gravy. But yea I have heard your dog licking and kissing you can get you glutened so yup be careful!

Hello

 

 yes,  one  can get  glutened  from  dog /cat  & bird  food.....other  things  are  scratched  utensils,  scratched pots & pans, plastic or  wooden  items  that were  used  for  wheat  ...hth

My animals are gluten-free and also do better without it. Both of them had improvement in fur quality and arthritis!

I was once glutened by my shampoo. Now I only use gluten-free shampoo and make-up just to avoid having ANY gluten enter my mouth. Toothpaste is another culprit. I have enjoyed reading the articles written by Jane Anderson on about.com on where to look for unexpected sources of gluten.

Both my cats and my dog eat grain free. It was one of the first steps in decontaminating my house. The only products that I use daily that are not gluten-free are my makeup products with the exception of lip products.

      A question - eggs & dairy

      By trents · Posted

      Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose. Lactase is produced in the small intestine. It is not produced in the pancreas. https://cymbiotika.com/blogs/health-hub/understanding-what-organ-produces-most-digestive-enzymes   "Lactase is found in the brush border of the small intestine of humans and other mammals." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactase Studies have shown through micro analysis that the small bowel lining from those with celiac disease may never completely heal, even after years of gluten free living. There is healing at the macro level but not all cellular functions may be restored.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thank you so much for this thorough and informative post. This information does help me to understand my body better. I will commit to a strict gluten free diet. I may not have a diagnosis but I know gluten is causing issues. The worst offender, white bread, causes a reaction within 20-30 minutes. Which I hate because I like sandwiches. Lol. Common sense dictates that it's time to stick to a strict gluten free diet. Thanks for the tips about alternatives. I do cook and bake so it's helpful to know what may work. I appreciate so much all the time and effort you all have put into helping me understand and being supportive. Thank you.

      I went back to consuming dairy after a year of healed villi.  What I didn't know is that along with developing celiac, my pancreas was no longer producing enough enzyme to consume lactose.  My GI said he often sees this with celiac patients.  Some people can go back to dairy with no problems at all and others will develop odd symptoms like ataxia--balance issues, etc.-- for no apparent reason.  It took me a year of suffering to get it all straightened out.  Hope this saves you some time!

      Blood results

      By Russ H · Posted

      Do you know what the lab's standard range is for the IgA tTG2 result? The Endomysial IgA basically tests for the same antibodies as IgA tTG2 but it uses an older, less sensitive method and the result is positive/negative rather than quantitative. Hence, it is possible to show raised IgA tTG2 antibodies without getting a positive test for Endomysial IgA antibodies.

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly
