Cat Litter

We've talked about the fact that some cat litters have gluten, I even found a lovely article on how someone patented an odor reducer that depends on gluten and how wonderful :P it is....

Does anyone know if EverClean is gluten-free? I think I'm getting glutened, and this is a possibility.

Not sure about that one but last I checked Arm and Hammers litter was safe. That's what I use.

I use the Exquisicat scoopable from Petsmart. It's a clay based litter.

I use Scoop Away--I called and verified it was gluten-free.

You can if you have room (in a dry place not a garden shed) buy bentonite in bulk... for a few $ a ton.(or just buy a 100lb sack).. this is the major deodoriser and adsorbant part.... I found you can cut it 50/50 or even 25/75 with sand...

when you switch just put back some pee soaked stuff for the first few days... and gradually replace it ...

you know cat's .. it's all about them :D

Can you guys post some of your cat litter recipes? I had no idea it was so versatile. Sorry, I couldn't resist... I'm not being snarky, it's just an amusing image- all of us desperate for food chowing down litter. Actually I appreciate the "head's up". With 5 cats clomping around in that stuff it never occured to me they were spreading the evil gluten! I think I'm switching to Arm and Hammer! Thanks!

My cat never liked to go in the house anyway... but sometimes he had to be locked inside for his vets appointment etc. butthe main thing just seemed to be he didn't like completely new litter ... you don't really need much obviously cats sense of smell is a lot better than ours but we used to mix in a bit of soil (which mostly was sandy) where he'd already peed... he'd always bitterly complain, I think he found the whole idea of going for a pee or poop in the house distasteful ... so we never had a problem him not using the litter and going elsewhere but he would try and hold it in and mew pityfully to go out...

Cats are such odd creatures aren't they. And they sure don't like those boxes messed with. I was walking past the room with my kitties boxes the other week. 2 were standing in the doorway in total dismay watching my little dog lift his leg to use their box. Even after I changed it they didn't want to use that box for days. I keep a closer eye on the little dog now and at least I know he has something other than a chair leg if he is desperate.

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
