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!

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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
