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.

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
