My Cat Is Now Gluten Free!

As many of you probably know, I've been hesitant to change my cat's food due to his age--14 years. I didn't know how he'd take to it, as he's kind of an old fuddy-duddy :D

Yesterday, we deceided to give it a try--the worst that could happen --we'd have to give the bag of food to my son for his cats!

We bought Science Diet Senior Original, brought it home and put it in his dish.

He gave it a sniff, and then immediately proceeded to wolf it all down--without even looking up to take a breath! He even ate the ones that he knocked out of the dish while eating--he's never done that before!

This morning, he's absolutely fine--no signs of stomach distress ;)

Yipee :lol:

I know--all this time I was afraid it would upset his system to switch! Now, I wish I'd done it much sooner--that stuff can't be good for him, either :D

Patti-that's so funny ,I can just see Allo wolfing it down!! :lol:

It's also better for you that he's G.F as you handle his food.

I've tinkered with my cats food on and off over the years,and I've found that they always seem to like the 'dearer' foods (they are such snobs).Science Diet or Iams always seems to go down well!

I think it's because the dearer ones don't fill their food out with cereal like the cheaper ones.

Glad Allo is impressed with his new diet though!! :D

Patti,

That's great. Hannah, 12 has been having bathroom issues and I have been trying different ones. He likes them all lol but not giving me any breaks with cleanup. I will try that one. :)

I stopped using kibble for my cat entirely because I know how badly I digest grains, and my species has had about 10,000 years to adapt. I figured cats were less well equipped than we are. So now he's just having meat, raw meat. His health has improved a lot.

My cat is all most gluten-free too except for the random treats he gets! He eats Science Direct Hair Ball treatment (He is a Himalayen) and Friskas without gluten in the ingredients.

Nancy, what kind of raw meat?

Today I was eating my (bunless) hamburger for lunch, and instead of looking up at me with his "where's my piece?", he proceeded to his own dish and ate some of his new food. Unbelieveable :rolleyes:

Nikki--I can't believe you remembered his name--that blew me away :):) And I agree about the better foods having less of the fillers, like ash. All that does is make the cat eat more. Yours have good taste :lol:

Celia-- :lol: Brain fog!

Judy and Nancy--I know--he's been throwing up more often lately, maybe the gluten was really getting to him...

Carrie--sounds like your kitty is doing great being gluten-free!

Lee--Yes, maybe give this a try. Hopefully it will make things easier for both of you :)

Tavi--Yep--I feel like I just eliminated another potential gluten problem!

I vary it a lot. I found places I could order pet food meats like rabbit, deer, beef, chicken, goat, turkey and have it delivered frozen. Sometimes I just grind chicken for him. Today I'm going to find a Bravo distributor in my area and pick up some of their meat mixtures. His favorites seem to be chicken, beef offal, and goat. He was really keen on rabbit for awhile.

One place I ordered from was: hare-today.com

I thought the Evo cat food (Evolution line... I think) was one of the more decent canned cat foods. It did have potato in it though, or maybe it was pumpkin, can't quite remember. But at least it was down further in the list of ingredients and it wasn't a grain!

Thanks Nancy, He was on the Evo and that wasn't working too well. I check into this raw. :)

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...

Dr daid why don't I go see you guys because my blood shows zero for celiac. I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.
