Gluten free cat food

[TDK]

I have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease and I’m at a concerning level with lymphocytes throughout my intestines. I’m desperately searching for a gluten free dry cat food that is very good quality. My cat is 13 years old and intolerant to anything containing chicken. Any suggestions from what has worked for others?

Thank you!

I don’t have a cat, but have had to look for gluten free food for my dog.  Chewy has a lot of filters (look at left side of linked web page) so you can try to find gluten-free, chicken free, dry, senior cat food.  When I put in all those filters there was only one (and it had turkey and duck), but if you don’t need senior, or if grain free instead of gluten free would be ok there are a lot more choices.

@TDK welcome to the forum!

Increased lymphocytes can be a result of Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is Vitamin B1, an essential water soluble vitamin that works with the other B vitamins.  Thiamine is the vitamin that can be stored for the shortest period of time.  Low levels of Thiamine can increase lymphocytic penetration.  

Have you discussed with your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals while healing on the gluten free diet?   Supplementing with vitamins boosts our ability to absorb them.  

Best wishes.

Thanks to all for the advice. I will do exactly that.  Thanks again.
