Do Your Pets Eat Gluten Free?

My cats eat gluten free, the fish don't. My boyfriend feeds them, thankfully. I have looked into making fish food, not quite sure if I want to go that route or not.

I had a look on Amazon and it seems "Taste of the Wild" is very popular..is that the one you use BM?    I do like to feed my dogs "normal food" sometimes too, like liver or chicken, which they love, as I always wonder what actually goes into dog food.

I use the Taste of the Wild for my little dog. She has lots of allergies and it seems it took forever to find a food which didn't produce a reaction. Tractor Supply has recently come out with a line of grain free foods but I haven't looked into them except to note that they are about $4 less a bag than the Taste of the Wild.

Beth, let me know it turns out, if you end up making your own fish food. I have fish as well, which eat gluten, since there's no commercial goldfish flakes that are gluten free, that I know of.

I haven't been able to find any either Ruth. I did look up a few recipes a month or so ago, but haven't gotten around to making any of them. I have 5 fish tanks in my house though, with a lot of various fish and crabs, that's a lot of fish food to make lol. I think I'm going to have to though, I'm still having issues and that's the only gluten in the house.

After researching it a lot, I switched my cat over to raw food. I was able to find one that cost the same as the pricy gluten free kibble I was feeding her. There are a lot of health benefits to feeding your animals raw food.

All my pets are gluten free :) Also, if you do the frozen fish food (blood worms, algae, etc.) those are also gluten free and much better for your fishy friends than the standard pellets. It is a little bit more expensive but its not going to break the bank. My dogs are on a mix of a home cooked diet and Blue Freedom wet and dry foods with veggies like carrots and broccoli for treats.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
