We feed our Miniature Schnauzer, Phoebe Buffay, Authority dry dog food (Petsmarts brand). It has no animal by-products or cereal. We mix a little hot water in it. 1/2 cup in the morning, and 1/2 cup in the evening. She weighs 18-20#. An occasional cherry tomato, she loves 'em. No human "scraps" per se, but an occasional small bite of leftover meat.

Oh, and every day for lunch, she get 1/3th of a medium Mealbone. It's actually a meal replacement product that's supposed to be good for their teeth. She's a very good pet.

best regards, lm

This is onion toxicity info. in pets from a scientific paper. But the info. can be found in most pet care books also.

I feed my dog pratically bits of anything, but I'm careful to make sure she doesn't eat anything like grapes, which are bad for dogs. And I would strongly suggest you don't let your dog eat any corn. Goes right through their systems.(EWW!). I let my dog eat cheese, carrots, peanut butter(slather it on a bone, throw the bone on the porch and it will keep them occupied for 10-15 minutes. Do it when their really bugging you.) I also love to feed my dog popcorn though.

Thanks, I really appreciate being able to read that.

I hope it helped. I wasn't sure whether to post scientific info. or just googled info. I just found the article really quickly, but I can find more info. if you need it.

Our pup was originally part of the Seeing Eye program. She was later rejected from the training program (too scared of everything), so we adopted her.

Because they're working dogs, the S.E. program asks you not to give the dogs "people food". I guess they don't want the dog to be tempted by a great steak in a restaurant if he is working and supposed to be alongside their blind master???

Anyway, for that reason, we started our dog on Iams (it's actually my parents' pup - I just love her to much to refer to her as anything but mine). And we've kept her on that.

They use "poultry" flavored toothpaste with her and she LOVES it. Don't know how they got on to that.........Aside from what my niece drops on the floor, that's pretty much all she gets. Oh, yeah - peanut butter for pills and her all time favorite - icecubes! (does that count as people food?)

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.
