Pet store chains sell Eucanuba which I used for my dogs before, well their gone now. Other brands are lamb & rice based. It's better for the dogs anyway. When a dog has a tummy ache they go outside and eat grass so they can throw up. So, why would a dog food company put wheat (grass) in the food? Convenience, but it is not good for dogs.

I got glutenized on a salad just by being in a pizza restaurant so, wafting through the air is a real possiblity.

Flour seems to hang in the air ... if I have a tea at Panera Bread, I always ask for a ceramic mug and wipe it out first for this very reason. I don't think dog food would do this. My birds make huge messes and I don't have a problem (their food has gluten). but with a dog, he'll get it on his paws, and track it around the house.

But, I agree, dogs don't need wheat.

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @SaiP, I noticed that you are eating foods that are high in histamine.  Bananas, avocados, spinach, gluten, and tuna are high histamine foods or are histamine liberators.  Histamine is released by mast cells in the body as part of the autoimmune reaction to gluten.  High histamine foods add to that histamine burden, making clearing histamine difficult.    Histamine is a helpful neurotransmitter, causing alertness.  We wake after sleep because our body produces histamine.  BUT, excess histamine causes insomnia.   We need vitamins and minerals, like Thiamine, Pyridoxine, Cobalamine, Vitamin C, and magnessium, to help our body break down and clear out histamine.   We need Thiamine and the other B vitamins to turn carbohydrates, like white rice, protein and fats into energy and fuel for the body.  The more carbohydrates you eat, the more thiamine is needed above normal.  More thiamine is needed when physically sick, or emotionally stressed.  Losing weight until skin and bones is a symptom of Thiamine deficiency. White rice is stripped of nutrients like Thiamine, when the germ is removed to make it white.  Vitamins added to enriched rice can be lost if the rice is washed.  If you are increasing your rice consumption, you need to increase your thiamine.  The form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing. Healthy fats like olive oil should be included in the diet.  Our body likes to use healthy fats as fuel.   Do look into a low histamine gluten free diet.

      The first lab was different because Allina switched which lab they work with in between March and October. But October and January were the same lab. All through Allina but two separate labs.

      Since she is asymptomatic and her first biopsy was negative I would not assume she has developed celiac disease. If her upcoming biopsy shows evidence of mucosal damage you have the firm evidence you need to trigger the gluten-free protocol at the preschool. There are other causes for mildly elevated tTG-IGA levels besides celiac disease. Studies are all over the map with this statistic but there is somewhere between a 10% and an almost 50% chance that your daughter will develop celiac disease since she has a first degree relative who is a celiac (her sister). The important thing in this scenario is to continue to monitor the situation via testing and symptoms. You are already doing this so kudos to you and your doctors. But one question I have is, are the blood samples being tested by the same lab in each case? Different labs build these tests a little differently and there is no industry standard. So, to compare her tTg-IGA test scores from one time to the other is only useful if the analysis is being handled by the same lab.

      My daughter was tested at her annual appointment when she turned 4 because her brother has celiac's. She has no symptoms. She eats a lot of gluten.  Blood work round #1 March 2024:  -          Endomysial IgA Ab: Negative  (Range: Negative) -          Gliadin IgA: <10.0 U/ml  (Range: <20.0 Negative) -          IGA: 93.43 mg/dL  (Range: 27.00 - 195.00) -          TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IGA: 9.1 U/ml  (Range: <4.0) *** this was high. the range changes for the next one, but it was noted that it was about double the range.  We went for an endoscopy in May 2024 and it was negative.  Blood work round #2 October 2024: -          ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY TITER: 1:5 titer  (Range: <1:5) **flagged as high -          ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY SCR (IGA) W/REFL TO TITER: POSITIVE  (Range: NEGATIVE) **flagged because its not negative -          IMMUNOGLOBULIN A  TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA:  28.8U/mL  (Range: 22 – 140.  <15.0  =Antibody not detected. >or= 15.0 =Antibody detected.) **flagged high but the ratio/range was different and about double. Note says: Serological evidence for celiac disease is present. Blood work round #3 January 2025: -          TTG IGA: 28.1U/mL  (Range: 22 – 140.  <15.0  =Antibody not detected. >or= 15.0 =Antibody detected.) Now we are scheduling another endoscopy. My main concern right now is if the endoscopy is negative again…where does that leave us??? Public Schools and daycare will not feel her gluten free if its not an official diagnosis.
