Canned Cat Food Suggestions

I think I need to change cat food. I switched them to a gluten-free kibble, but need a canned suggestion. I've got a couple of picky cats who only eat "chunky" wet food: slices, filets, shreds and the like. They currently get a can of friskies (split three ways) each day. I am dreading the trial and error method of finding out which brands are gluten-free AND chunky.

Do you have chunk-loving cats, too?

It appears that wellness pet food. www.wellnesspetfood.com has wheat free products. The core line is supposed to be wheat and grain free and some of the cubed wet foods are also wheat free. Other than that can you chunk a normal cat food?

My cat gets fussy cat. All of the ingredients are actual recognizable food ingredients, and it looks like pieces of fish, shrimp, etc (she doesn't like any of the chicken varieties). Can't get it at a regular grocery store, but my cat loves it, and it's a good price (though a smallish portion). For dry we use Taste of the Wild. There are quite a few grain-free cat foods now. If you have a higher end pet store, ask there.

Here's a link to Fussy Cat. You can also buy it online from that company that starts with A and is a river in South America. =)

Taste of the Wild and Weruva are two brands of grain-free canned food in a chunky style that I can think of offhand. Some of the Wellness canned formulas are grain-free, but they are loaf (pate) style, not chunky.

Thanks so much for the brand suggestions!

Also my two cents, I've been using Before Grain kibble/dry food and our cats LOVE it (and I don't react). I'm so grateful to have some canned suggestions! I was worried I had no options :)

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

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Testing

      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.
