Gluten free cat food


TDK

Recommended Posts

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.

      Hey! How is your daughter doing now? I am dealing with very similar issues! All started after going gluten free after being diagnosed with celiacs

      Thanks for your thoughts on this. My reactions to gluten are complex and involve more than just my heart and arteries. The problems with what It does to my cardiovascular system do present me with a bit of a conundrum at times. For instance, I had cardio bypass surgery in 2002 (at age 53) and then again had angina and artery issues in 2006. At the same time, I was also suffering symptoms of early onset dementia while also experiencing symptoms of psychosis. That was when I discovered I had celiac and went on a. gluten-free diet. On that diet, my psychosis disappeared, my chest pain stopped and my cognitive issues also cleared up. Subsequently I began running and exercising again with no cardio problems. And my stress tests and cardio exams since then showed no evidence of artery problems. Plus, my lipid panels showed significant changes. My arteriosclerosis had started in 1992. At that time, my HDL cholesterol had always been measured in the 20s even though I exercised religiously, ate what was supposed to be a heart-healthy diet and was never overweight. After going on a gluten-free diet in 2006, my HDLs have been in the 60s and 70s. Since then, my usual symptoms of ingesting gluten are a temporary increase in blood pressure and certain intense types of hypnogogic hallucinations. The Afib stuff is a recent development. I will be discussing all of this again with my cardiologist in May. I discuss some of this in my substack (no paywall) at https://diaryofapreviouslydementedpoet.substack.com/

      Migraines are a recognized symptom of celiac disease. The incidence of it is higher in the celiac community than in the general population. It is one of mine. Well, keep us posted. Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled yet? Again, let me stress that it is important to not begin the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet until all testing related to celiac diagnosis is complete.

      No other testing has been done at this point, though I wonder if my diagnosis will prompt that. My main symptoms have been bowel related and I’ve had severe migraines for several years now but I’ve been seeing a neurologist for that and have it under control, though I now wonder if the migraines have been a symptom of Celiac all along.
