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.

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.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real.

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
