Oh my gosh - I can't believe I didn't even think about this until I read a post a few minutes ago on a different thread. My 17 month old is constantly playing with our dog's food and I know it probably has gluten in it - not sure since I threw the bag away and put food in plastic container. Anyways I feel bad. She has had diarrhea for the past two days put I thought she might be teething since she also had a diaper rash (previous teething accompanied with rash) but now I think it was becasue she was touching the dog food. Anyways in either case no more playing with the dog food. I just wanted to let you all know how invaluable this forum is to people. My daughter was diagnosed two weeks ago so I am extremely new to this and love reading the various posts, as they prove invaluable. Can't wait to tell DH about dog food tomorrow as he is sleeping now.

I think we all learn things here....

I would say that regardless of the toddler playing with the food you can't stop the dog transferring it on whiskers, running over to the kid and transferring some directly to her face or hands etc.

our celiac child has a dog, we put the food into container, she carries the dish and tries very hard not to touch it. As far as the dogs licking her, would it help to give them their food and then some water, it will rinse of some the residue...we go to the allergist next week because she keeps breaking out into hives, i wonder if it is from that? umm

We feed our dog and cats at night right after putting our son to bed. We've had success with this since they have all night to wear it off. Just an idea!

We switched our animals to a totally grain free food, Evo by Innova, their response has been great. Their coats are better, less shedding, less vomiting for one who was a throw up king, and best of all I don't have to sterilize the kitchen whenever I cook anything. If you can switch foods that would be great for you and the dog.

I switched to grain-free (except for rice) dog food, also. Even the biscuits are gluten-free. This way I'm much more safe and there's one more thing that isn't a potential problem.

There's a thread or two that list some gluten-free dog foods - you could do a search.

I'm using Nutro Natural Choice dry and "Chops" biscuits that I got at PetCo. there are other brands, also, but this store is near me so is handy.

WE ahve the same problem with our toddler and dog, so we swithed to gluten-free food and treats for our dog. Funny thing is the dog seems a bit healither for it. We use Kraft Milk Bone Chewy Dog treats as a treat and Nutro Natural Choice Lamb and Rice dog food. Both are easy found at just about any pet store.

It is not surprising at all that your dogs are healthier. Dogs are not ment to eat grains. Many dogs have wheat allergies. Our kids can feel they are not alone because even their dog can't eat wheat. We feed our dogs Canadae. There are others that contain no grains too.

Cool!

I thought it was probably asking to much that there would be gluten free dog food. I have so many other things I have to look into that this was on the back burner. Aimee isn't allowed to touch the dog's food or dish or mouth and usually the dog doesn't lick her. I just tell her that those things are dirty and might hurt her. Better though will be when I find where to get some good dog food in hicks ville USA.

Thanks for the info,

Gloria

Just feed it what you eat.....supplimented with low grade meats.

Its probably easier to buy from a butcher/farmer in hicksville than a big city....

Dogs are omnivorous though they do benefit from more meat than we do ....

root vegetables, left overs (preferably not spicy) ... and all of this will be healthier for the dog than dried food.

I really don't think that if the dog is eating dried food you can stop it transferring it round the house, they are such messy eaters.

Perhaps a cat since they are pretty exacting eaters somewhere on the internet is a joke about how to give a cat a pill... and then how to give a dog a pill.... the cat one is 2 pages which ends with the whole house wrecked and the owner in hospital... the dog one is stick it in a piece of meat!

Don't get me wrong I love dogs... but their eating habits are not very sophisticated to say the least.

When dogs eat they spread food everywhere... they carry it in their "beards" and "bury" bits of it everywhere...crumbs on the carpet and anything they touch... thats just dogs being dogs!

we feed the dog before the kids get up and again after they go to bed, other than that, I made him some gluten free dog treats and he doesn't lick.......anyone........ever.

we haven't had a problem.

I have to wear gloves of course since I have celiac too, but it hasn't glutened me yet.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.
