Dog Food

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.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, ...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
