kevsmom replied to Cat5's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

One of the medications that I take makes my hair fall out. My doctor recommended that I take Zinc and Selenium (I find that 200 mcg of Selenium works better for me). They are in the vitamin aisle of the store. I use Nature Made brand - they say "no gluten" on the label. Cindy

ARCHIVED Glutened By My New Puppy?
kevsmom replied to Teacher1958's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I always make sure that I wash my hands welll after feeding my dog. I stopped feeding her treats (she's too fat and needs to lose weight anyway). My brother's dog likes to have cut up carrot sticks as treats. Then you wouldn't have to worry about the gluten, and it's healthier for dog too! Cindy
