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.

      Manitol and mri

      It looks like "mannite" is another name for "mannitol": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannitol You are correct that it can trigger IBS-like symptoms, as we recently did an article on this: I'm not sure if there is a way around this, as it is likely needed for the test. Perhaps contact your doctor to see if there might be an alternative?

      Toothpaste question.

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune r...

      Probiotics

      There is no single "best" probiotic brand universally recommended for celiac disease. The goal of a probiotic in this context is to help support the gut microbiome, which can be disrupted by the damage caused by gluten exposure. The most important factor is not the brand name, but ensuring the product is certified gluten-free, as some probiotics use wheat...

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune reaction in celiac disease. Hydrated silica and silicon dioxide are minerals, chemically inert compounds of silicon and oxygen, and are completely unrelated to gluten proteins. They are widely used as abrasives in toothpaste and anti-caking agents in food powders because they are stable and non-reactive. While any individual can have a unique sensitivity to any substance, there is no mechanism by which these silica compounds would mimic gluten or exacerbate celiac disease. Your diligence in using a certified gluten-free toothpaste is the correct and most important step, as it eliminates the risk of cross-contamination with wheat-derived ingredients like starch. Based on current scientific understanding, the hydrated silica in your toothpaste is not an issue for your celiac management.

      There is no single "best" probiotic brand universally recommended for celiac disease. The goal of a probiotic in this context is to help support the gut microbiome, which can be disrupted by the damage caused by gluten exposure. The most important factor is not the brand name, but ensuring the product is certified gluten-free, as some probiotics use wheat-derived starches or are produced in facilities that handle gluten, posing a cross-contamination risk. Furthermore, the specific strains of bacteria can matter; some research suggests strains like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium may be beneficial, but individual responses vary greatly. Because the supplement industry is not tightly regulated, choosing a reputable brand that undergoes third-party testing for purity and potency is key.
