Just in case not everyone knows - r/d stands for reducing diet. It is for overweight cats or cats with diabetes, not to be used for growing animals as it does not have sufficient calories or nutrients for proper growth.

I've got mine on the Prescription Hills d/d, but I also give them Natural Balance Green Pea & Venison.

Yup, I should have mentioned this. But I'm pretty sure you have to have a prescription for it to buy it anyway. We buy it from our vet and tried to buy it from Pet Smart one time and they wouldn't let us without a prescription. At the vet, they always ask our name and our pet's name before they let us check out.

That said, my cat is so fat that this seems to be doing absolutely nothing in dropping her weight but it does, at least, keep her from gaining. Guess we can't hope for too much!

Of course we do. They are cuddly, cute and calming. But sometimes they become crazy with the full moon. But we still love them.

Most cat litters are actually fine. There is one brand, I think it's called S'wheat, that is not safe.

I use Scoop Away--I called the company, and it's perfectly safe--mostly clay.

Cat litter is almost always gluten-free.

There is a brand named "Swheat Scoop" which is made entirely from wheat. I understand that there is one sold in the US, but not yet in Canada, that is made of barley.

Clay litters, whether clumping or not may have odor-control substances or fragrances added, but these are not usually sources of gluten. Some brands add baking soda, but again, not a worry.

If you want a biodegradable, flushable clumping litter, try "World's Best Cat Litter." It is made entirely of corn, is gluten-free, and very low in dust.

Thanks for the info on Scoop Free litter! Does anyone know of some other brands of cat food (kitten food) that is confirmed gluten free?

thanks

My cats eat Prescription Hills k/d which does not have any gluten ingredients. The k/d formula is for cats with kidney problems. I have not had any problems with this cat food.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
