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.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide. Both linked to cancers. Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers. A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means. However, the way the result is presented does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?
