Does anyone know of a gluten-free fish food? I haven't been able to find one yet.

I don't think there is. You can make your own and use veggies here and there. The possibilities are endless, really.

I fed my (now deceased) fish dried blood worms.

I just use the fish food in a plastic container and sprinkle it directly in the tank, wash my hands and wear rubber gloves when I change the tank.

Thanks for the info. We had a tank a few years ago and it was really more trouble than it was worth (mostly because I was the one cleaning it!) so I really only want a beta for the kitchen counter. I laughed when I was reading the fish food ingredients because the main ingredient was wheat (high gluten) and I pictured a fish sitting in the water going now where's all that yummy nutritious wheat! Talk about something fish weren't designed to eat!

My fish food isn't gluten-free but it comes in a nice handy shaker and is in pellet form, so it doesn't get all over the place and I don't have to ever touch it. Also, wheat isn't the top ingredient (but it's in there). It's Top Fin Color Enhancing Betta Bits. I initially got it when I had bettas, but they died, so after consulting with the fish store to make sure it's ok, I feed it to the rest of my fish. They clearly prefer it over the flaked food.

I just started feeding my fish dried brine shrimp and thin paper sheets of seaweed. I found them both at the pet store. All of the flake food I have seen contains wheat and soy protein.

Brine Shrimp is fine. You can get it either dry or frozen. I prefer the dry cubes and I break them up in the fish food container so my son can feed his fish. The brine shrimp is a bit more expensive than the wheat/gluten filled flakes but it's better for your fish and you don't have to worry about inhaling any of the gluten filled flake foods.

I realize that this is an old thread, but has anybody successfully fed brine shrimp to their goldfish?

I used things like brine shrimp and blood worms and it worked fine.  I got rid of the tank recently.

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By John767 · Posted

      DiGiornos gluten free pizza at one point was  made from a dough derived of wheat starch...yet they were able to call it gluten free probably because it came in at under 20ppm for gluten.  Apparently the recipe was changed and the pizza not longer contains a wheat starch derived crust.  As for the Heinz dressing, it could be an issue with cross contamination with wheat barley and or rye somewhere during the production process.  If you read how Frito-Lays (on their website) designates items gluten free, you will understand the variances in the lengths companies go through in deciding when to put on a gluten free label and when not--Frito-Lays is pretty solid.  Also being in Canada, they may follow a common international rule of less than 20ppm of gluten is all that is required to be labeled gluten free regardless of the grains used to manufacture the product (common in Europe, Central, and South America)...it took a couple of really rough mornings after consuming some Dura Damm (labeled as gluten free outside the USA) for me to realize that it was a gluten reduced beer. Same with Mahou Beer which actually says in Spanish "suitable for celiacs", unfortunately it is not suitable for this celiac and of course the following day was really rough as well...really take the time to read the ingredients because had I read the ingredients of  Mahou's "suitable for celiacs" "sin gluten" beer I would have noticed that it was made from cabada (Spanish for barley)...hope this helps...

      Here is an article that explains test results and what they mean.  Testing for Celiac Disease is so elusive, any positive, unless a lab error false positive, is evident of Celiac.  It is easier to be in denial, tnan committing to gluten free.  Like not believing a pregnancy test.  Denial will lead to more suffering. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I believe that what triggers acute Celiac Disease is vitamin D deficiency.  When we have stress it depletes our already low vitamin D, (40% to 60% of us in the industrial world are deficient) allowing the Celiac genes and the immune system to run amuck.  At 93 ng/ml 25(OH)D blood level, the last time I accidentally glutened myself, all that I got was a runny nose and burning eyes three days later.  It took 8 years, taking 10,000 IU a day to get to this blood level. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset So true.  If I am working on something I'm enjoying, I put off eating because after I eat I mostly feel worse.  Not so much anymore, but it's been a life long struggle with the anorexia.  M&M Peanuts is a good go-to snack.  For the dairy Kosher Dill pickles, brine fermented, not vinegar quick pickles (vinegar kills the bacteria), will repopulate your gut with Lactobacillus that exretes lactase, the reason adults are not lactose intolerant.  Also, grassfed milk has less omega 6 fatty acids than commercial grain fed dairy. Grassfed omega 6:3 ratio is 1:1; Organic milk 3:1; Commercial Dairy 5:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation.  The typical western diet is 14:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  A good reason not to eat gluten.  Here is a list: High omega-3/low omega-6 I find it interesting that the new diagnosis of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity was created 10 years after Norman Borlaug, "the father of the Green Revolution" and our modern grain crops, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.

      Thanks for your reply. She has been given a date for her endoscopy, 28th of this month, so hopefully she’ll know for sure if she definitely has coeliac. Needless to say she’s dreading it!!!!

      That is more than 10x the standard range, so a strong positive. In the UK for children and adults under the age of 55, at least 10x the standard range is sufficient to be diagnosed without having an endoscopy. The NICE guidelines are are different for children in that a referral to a gastroenterologist is also recommended for diagnosis. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/how-to-test/ https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/diagnosis-in-children/
