I just got a New pet parrot after my other one that i had for 5 years died in an accident like 2 weeks ago...

their food is full of Gluten / wheat.....

I don't handle or touch it..  but if the bird is crawling on me and biting my cloths or biting my skin...  is it a problem ????

I don't know much about parrot food, but can you find a gluten-free version? I would say that if you are super sensitive, this could be an issue.

I had a Quaker Parrot when I was first diagnosed. In my case I found cage cleaning and feeding to be an issue. I wasn't able to find a gluten free food for him and I think the dust from his food got to me more than handling him. I hope you are able to find a gluten free food for him as they are great company. I had to take mine to a shelter but he never even made it out to the floor as a volunteer fell in love with him within minutes of bringing him in.

By the way I'm sorry to hear your last parrot died. I am surprised that they put gluten in parrot food, but I guess I shouldn't be. We don't two product reviews recently on gluten-free dog foods (and one also makes gluten-free cat foods), so the gluten-free trend is finally also catching on for pet foods. I wonder if you could do some homework on the nutritional needs of parrots, which I know don't include gluten, and make your own food, or find another gluten-free pet food with similar properties. I admit I know nothing about a bird's nutritional needs. My father's parakeet seemed to always be eating bird seed and sunflower seeds.

i'm curious as to how the parrot died.......

my next-door animal hoarding neighbor has one that screams obscenities.  i think she put it in the basement where she is hatching chickens........ joy..........

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.

      Open Food Facts is a free food database: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/discover  There's an app to access it which is also free (with no in app commercials).   You can use it to look up information about foods such as ingredients, Nova score (to help avoid ultra processed foods), environmental impact and nutritional scores, allergy related information and more.  It can scan a product's barcodes and bring up relevant information about that product.  The project relies on volunteers to share information about products.  We can add information on our favorite gluten free products to share with each other.  It has several gluten free items in the database already:  https://world.openfoodfacts.org/cgi/search.pl?search_terms=gluten+free&search_simple=1&action=process  I think it could make a great tool for people with celiac.
