BED

Hello i usually get grain free cat food to lower the chances of getting glutened. But have now gone back to normal cat food as it is much cheaper have i made a huge mistake or should i be fine. I do not feed the pets my self and always wash my hands after touching them. Also the cats tend to go on my bed which i would assume pet food ends up on there would a simple brush down of the entire bed solve this.

 

Thanks.

I think this should be fine given your awareness of the possible issues. Proper hand washing should eliminate the risks. I'm not sure about the bed issue, but perhaps make sure your cat doesn't eat in your bed.

I have cats that eat both grain free and regular cat food.  Their grain free foods have been in short supply recently.  

My cats are on my bed or around me all the time.  I wash hands after petting and feeding them, but I have not noticed a problem with their food causing contamination.

I keep an extra sheet or thin blanket on top of the bed clothes which can be quickly washed or shaken outside or tumbled in the dryer.  It gives me peace of mind. 

Hope this helps.

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?
