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.

      Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience.  I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself.  I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten.  I react to Casein, the protein in dairy.   Try the AIP diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself.  Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.

      Yes, I know.   Without sufficient Folate, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine, the body can't get rid of high homocysteine levels.  High homocysteine levels make one restless, interferes with sleep and resembles ADHD symptoms.  High homocysteine levels occur in Celiac Disease.  Chronic high histamine levels lead to high homocysteine levels.

      You called it @knitty kitty.  I went to another health care provider for another opinion, and based on some tests they did, they suggested I might also be dealing with a fungal issue (candida and/or mold).  I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections.  So it seems that I am possibly dealing that issue in my gut as well. I think some of the symptoms that I've been not able to understand now make a lot of sense within this context (such as why eating dairy and sugar sometimes causes me to get headaches, joint pain, chills, feel like I have the flu... if these things are making the candida infection worse by feeding the candida, and then my body responds by trying to fight it off, then I basically am fighting off an infection, which is exactly what it feels like).  The flu-like reaction that I get when I eat dairy is a distinct reaction than the one I get from getting glutened (which is also bad, but different: headache, sharp abdominal pains, gas, diarrhea). That's what made me think there was something else at play.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I'm concerned about calcium.  I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free.  However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs.  I'd like find a decent supplement for that.  Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements since they're more natural than some of the others available, but seem rather expensive.  When possible, I try supplement with food sources.  One or two Brazil nuts usually have the full RDA for selenium.  One Barbados cherry has the daily RDA for vitamin C.  I also use seaweed to help supplement iodine since I don't use iodized salt.
