The winner was.....CAT LITER!!! It's not even my cat, i am holding him for my brother because he poops in his house and his kids eat it....i am going to see him at Christmas and find out if he ever plans on taking the cat back...otherwise he's going to a new home. He doesn't poop all over my house...why??? because i shovel out his cat liter every day..sometimes twice...no wonder it crept up on me like it did....anyway, changed the liter brand...back to my old self!

***to all cat lovers, sorry, i am just not a cat lover...i do love my brother, and would do most anything to help him...but keep the cat!

Congrats on finding out what the problem was!

Just so we know to avoid it, too - what was the cat litter brand that got you?

I was using Tidy Cat...I don't know if there is wheat in it or not...but that is the only new thing in my life besides the peanut butter, i have still been eating the peanut butter...no problems..i stopped the cat liter for 3 days, felt better, tried it on the 5th day for a test, sick again on the 6th day....stopped using it completely...feel fine

I can't speak to Tidy Cat. I know nothing about it.

I operate a retail store that sells pet foods and supplies, including cat litter. The only litter in our store that contains gluten is Swheat Scoop--it is made from wheat. I have heard of a litter that is made from rye, but as far as I know it is not yet available in Canada.

For our own three cats at home, we use Open Original Shared Link. It is made from corn, is gluten-free, and is flushable. It is made by Open Original Shared Link of Muscatine, Iowa. They make many other products from corn, including corn oil and vodka (under contract with brands you would recognize).

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
