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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
