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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
