Thank you about the information about animals and gluten. I actually had that part figured out, since my furball developed food allergies. Since I am gluten intolerant, it wasn't really too hard to understand that she has the same food issues that I do. Sure enough, gluten was exactly what the problem was. Eversince I switched her food to a very low carb diet with no grains in it, she has done well. She doesn't scratch so long and hard, like she used to.
Before I wised up and learned that spelt was simply just a non-hybrid and natural form of wheat and that it still has gluten in it, I would go to make some toast with this spelt bread. Before I ever got the butter on it, the cat was trying to take the bread away from me. And, she usually has much better manners than that. I noticed that I wasn't stopping at one or two slices of this bread myself. I wised up and didn't buy any more of it.
I used to give the cat canned food with gravy. Big mistake. Now, I know why she craved the kind with gravy so much. I don't buy that brand of cat food for her anymore. I buy a non-commercial brand for her at a small and local pet food store. They have very little of anything else for the dogs and cats other than the special foods.
The cat used to scratch all of her fur off of her ears. She isn't doing that anymore. She still scratches a little, but I think a more manageable amount. She doesn't scratch her ears to the point of being naked and raw anymore.
Now that you mention it. I do have type O blood, too.
Get your animals off of anything that has wheat gluten in
it> It is a slow death for animals. It lines the colon and
then the digestive tract breaks down. They don't get nutrients
in or out. Causes all the systems to break down, dehydrates
the animals and causes diabetes. The animals muscles
atrophy. I had to put my cat to sleep. It does the same
wonderful things to humans especially blood type O's.
