An Interesting Tidbit I Found!

I bought Oprah's November issue, just to see what the magazine is all about and to be honest, I probably will never buy it again!

Yet, I did find an interesting ad very close to the back of the magazine. This sad looking terrier has a caption above his head and in it, it says, "Mom, my skin itches....is there wheat in my food?" Then the ad goes on to tell that most dog food contains wheat, corn, or soy protein, which can trigger allergic reactions in your dogs. The dog food is Blue and it is gluten free, as well as corn and soy free, with no animal by-products. I'm impressed--they even have a website for the food: www.truebluetest.com and you can get a free sample of the food for your pet.

Cool, not only are we getting more news coverage, so are our celiac pets!!!!! :lol:

My roommate just started getting that for her dog. The vet thinks he's gluten intolerant, and it's much cheaper to try to change his diet than run tests. Right now the poor animal is still taking tons of anti-histamines because he'll rub his eyes on the carpet until they bleed and then he starts screaming. Hopefully the food will help him.

My mom actually makes the food for our two pugs and the vet was absolutely amazed by how nice their fur and faces were when they went in for a visit.

I know that Iam's dry food is all gluten free. I wish the dog biscuits were too.

We feed our cats and dog EVO dry foods made by Innova. No grains - just veggies and meat. They seem to do pretty well on it too. EVO also makes dog treats, but the dog doesn't like them. Still searching for a gluten-free doggie goodie that he'll like.

Now, that made me cry! I hope he's better soon.

I have been looking at the ingredients of the dry foods by this company, they may be wheat free but they are not gluten free. Every one I looked at even the lamb and rice has barley in it. I go with the INNOVA brand that someone else mentioned and my pets are much happier and no more mystery glutenings.

Yeah, the Blue Brand does have barley and oats in it, but is wheat and soy free. We've been feeding our dog Wellness Brand for about a year now. It is wheat free, corn free, and has lots of fruits and veggies in it. He was getting REALLY itchy last year, and just started to chew his fur out! It was really bad.....so I figured....he must be like his momma (me)!!!!! So we tried the Wellness that's at least wheat free, and they just came out with a grain free, soy and dairy free dog food too! After about 2 months on the new food, he wasn't ripping his fur out anymore!! YAY!! :D

I just looked up the Innova food, and it contained barley. So I looked up the Iams, and it looks gluten-free to me. I think we may switch to that food so I don't have to worry about my toddlers eating it! You know toddlers have to taste everything! We have a big gate up right now seperating our kitchen from the rest of the house because that is where we have the pet food. It would be so nice to take that gate down!

Innova makes several brands of food. The EVO doesn't contain any grain, although it does contain some dairy. If you're interested, check the ingredients out here at www.evopet.com.

Where do you buy the EVO and Wellness brands of food?

Funny note on dog biscuits and toddlers, my dad got some biscuits called Ms.Pugslys (I think that's the name, it had pug in it) that were free of all common allergens. The dogs didn't like them at first, but I tried them and they weren't half bad!

We buy Wellness at Pet Supermarket. (I don't think Pet Smart carries it) I also noticed they have it at Wild Oats and Whole Foods stores. Our dog looooves Wellness, he eats it so fast!! Other brands we tried...like Nutro...he'd eat it...but not all at one sitting.

For EVO, try the link here Open Original Shared Link. Just put in your info and they'll tell you the closest place to you.

LOL re: dog biscuits!

I'm not a pet owner, but those of you interested in celiac disease in pets should check out a website by "Dogtor J". He's a celiac who also happens to be a vet. He has a lot of insight into celiac disease in animals (did you know that celiac disease is common in Irish Setters?)

Oh, I'm definitely going to check out that link, thank you! I have a Border Collie, which is in the same "family" as Irish Setters I believe.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.
