Mystery Glutening Explained...

Have had an awful week; injury to my back so I'm sleeping in my recliner chair in the living room. Have my meds for pain, arthritis, etc., there and a glass of water on the coffee table to take them with. Then on Thursday got all bloaty and , oh no, glutened! Felt a bit better by Friday night and blam, it hit again. DH had been preparing food for me and by Saturday night I told him I could not eat anything. I had not eaten out and we could not figure out how I got glutened. Sunday I spotted my cat on the coffee table drinking water out of my glass, my sweet (big) Maine Coon kitty with her gluteny saliva!

Well, I know someone on the forum has a signature "I don't eat gluten and neither does my cat" or something like that, and honest to God I was not going to give my cat gluten, but she was six months old when I got her and addicted to crunchies. We tried making her food for her but gave in when she wouldn't go near it. Also, since she is a Maine Coon, she has to have a special food with large crunchies for her big jaw and which has glucosamine and chondroitin in it for her joints.

So I have a gluten-loving cat and she just had to share. I had a banana this morning and some canned apricots this evening so I could take my meds (with food) but I so wish I did not have to eat. On the other hand an empty bloated rumbling stomach and nausea and burping never-ending actually does better with food on it. I braved going out to play bridge this afternoon but greatly regretted it after the first 10 mins. What a horrible afternoon. When is it ever going to end? Thanks a bunch, kitty!

Neroli, sorry to hear about your misfortune! I was always afraid of that before my dog died. Not that she drank from my glass. HA! HA! but that she would share a suprise dog kiss and gluten me. Hope you feel well soon.

I hope you're feeling better soon!

I just recently realized my cat's food had gluten in it. It isn't the kind she normally eats, but I had bought it for her to use as treats because she can't eat regular cat treats. I never even noticed the big letters on the front that said, "With oatmeal for digestion". I catch my cat drinking out of my water glass much more often than I'd like (I usually keep my glass covered, for that reason, when I remember), so I'm sure that was how I got glutened recently.

Someone pointed out to me, though, that just the fact that cats lick themselves and get their saliva all over their fur poses a problem for us once we pet them. Also, my cat was shedding quite a bit recently, and I was brushing her and then spitting out the flying hair from my mouth.

They don't MEAN to gluten us! :huh:

Has anyone noticed any improvements in their pets' behavior/mood after putting them on gluten free food? During the time my cat was eating the food with the oatmeal in it, she bit me three different times - twice really deeply. Each time, she had just woken up and acted startled, and my arm was the closest thing to her, so she attacked it. That is very out of character for her and she hasn't done it (or even been nearly as easily startled) since going back on her regular food, which is gluten free. I find that kinda interesting. . .

My cat gets gluten free food now. Last year when all the tainted food was around, I made the switch. Took a while to find some that she liked, but she is doing much better on it.

I buy gluten-free cat food so I don't get sick if I touch it etc. It is just a benefit to his health that he is gluten-free too. I have a maine coon too. Love that big ball of fur!

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
