Hello i usually get grain free cat food to lower the chances of getting glutened. But have now gone back to normal cat food as it is much cheaper have i made a huge mistake or should i be fine. I do not feed the pets my self and always wash my hands after touching them. Also the cats tend to go on my bed which i would assume pet food ends up on there would a simple brush down of the entire bed solve this.

 

Thanks.

I think this should be fine given your awareness of the possible issues. Proper hand washing should eliminate the risks. I'm not sure about the bed issue, but perhaps make sure your cat doesn't eat in your bed.

I have cats that eat both grain free and regular cat food.  Their grain free foods have been in short supply recently.  

My cats are on my bed or around me all the time.  I wash hands after petting and feeding them, but I have not noticed a problem with their food causing contamination.

I keep an extra sheet or thin blanket on top of the bed clothes which can be quickly washed or shaken outside or tumbled in the dryer.  It gives me peace of mind. 

Hope this helps.

      Still unsure.....

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).

      @maylynn, No, I took over the counter thiamine supplements, thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  My doctors were not very knowledgeable about nutrition and vitamins, and they missed my symptoms being connected to vitamin deficiencies.  I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  My doctors just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover the symptoms of poor health due to malabsorption of nutrients. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, physically active, emotionally stressed and work outside in hot weather.  Thiamine works...

      @knitty kitty Did they give you medication for the Thiamine? I have never heard of that and have never related to symptoms more. My energy is always SO low. Zero drive to get anything done or work out. I used to love being on the go and being active. I am heading to the doctor next week so I will make sure to bring this up! Thank you so much!

      @trents I have had another scope done since being diagnosed. The only thing they told me at that time was my body seems to be healing very well and to continue what I was doing. At that time, I had only been diagnosed 2 years so it may be a possibility that it was healing then but not now maybe. I think you're right that it's about time one was done! I will be bringing that up to my doctor at my apt. next week. Thank you for the suggestions with food. I have tried diary so far. Seems to not be the issue (luckily!). Will have to try the others!

      Thank you so much for the advice, Scott. I am going back to the doctors next week to get more blood work done. The only thing they recommended me to take so far has been two shots of liquid iron in the morning to keep my iron levels high. What supplements or vitamins have worked for you? I never physically feel my celiac symptoms, unless I got cross contamination which I feel has only happened a handful of times in the last four years. When I eat it feels so different than my celiac. Which makes me wonder if it is another food like you suggested. Has anyone ever had issues with meat? I feel like I can snack and snack until it is a full meal, usually including meat. Could that be an allergy or...
