Okay theres been a few threads here on this, but I get lost in them LOL. My 40 pound bag of gluten full dog food is running low. So what I need is INEXPENSIVE GLUTEN FREE dog food that I can get in a local store. Cost is a MAJOR issue in our life right now, but its the only gluten that my toddler son might getin my house, so I want to knock it out. Yes a toddler will eat dog food :huh:

Dog is a mix breed, 59 pounder, middle aged for a dog (prlby 5 or 6, we rescued him few years ago).

So , what can I find in say a Pet Smart or Pet Co thats not gonna kill my already over stressed budget? I have already checked EVERY bag in my grocery store and they all have at least Oats in them.

Thanks!

How about this one:

I've seen this mentioned on another forum, and I think it's sold at chain stores like Petsmart. The ingredients looked safe (scroll down on the page).

That is the one thing I had not really checked on but needed to cause Belle will eat that stuff! I just looked at Science Diet LArge breed puppy that we use and the ingredients all looked safe to me but I could be wrong! Check with that company maybe. Some of their stuff has oat.

Canidae is about $28 for 40lbs, but I'm not sure where you can get it.

Hmm I recall seeing that brand at Nashville Pet Products, that might work have to see how much! Thanks.

Science Diet is not known for being cheap :(

I have found that the canidae store locator is not reliable, it doesn't list the store where my mom buys it locally.

If you have time, go through the phone book and call the pet stores and feed stores in your area, you might luck out. Not only is it gluten free, but it's a great food.

I guess it is not the cheapest but we feed our pets that even though we are broke! I get coupons on line for $2 off and at Petco we earn a free bag after buying 10.

Gee--I'll have to check and see if any of Nutro's cat foods are gluten-free. The one I buy for my cat (Nutro Adult Formula) has wheat in it. I don't think thats as big an issue for me, though, as I'm the only one that has to be careful (no little ones w/Celiac), and I've been careful to wash my hands after feeding him.

I also get it at Petco and get the free bag with 10!

Yea, we get free bag at 10 too. Rather them reduce the price by 10% and not be bother with the silly card, but thats just me.

I have been buying the Alpo in a can. Its the Filet Mignon flavor (this is the only flavor that I've found to be gluten free) and my dog loves it (if you don't mind messing with the canned food). It comes with a pop top so you don't need a can opener and it ranges between 40 - 48 cents per can. My dog eats one can a day.

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

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
