Where can I find a quality cat food for cats with food allergies?

My cat recently began losing all his fur and was diagnosed with food allergies after eating the same food his entire life (7 years) Now I need to find a quality food that is also economical…..

Try switching your cat to a canned food that is all meat. It’s quite likely that the grains in the dry food you were feeding have sensitized your cat to allergies. It’s essentially poisonous to your cat. You should also look for a different protein source (rabbit is a good one) as unlike dogs, cats can become allergic to a protein source. As a carnivore, their primary food source needs to be protein. So look for a meat canned (or raw) food that doesn’t have any grain, fruit or vegetable fillers.

What are the most promising treatments for food allergies, including alternative?

I have food allergies to most raw fruits, vegetables and nuts. My allergies include: tomatoes, peanuts, apples, pears, melons (all kinds), bananas, berries (all kinds), spinach, lettuce. I gradually became allergic to most of these over time with increasingly adverse reactions; mouth and throat itching and swelling.

Wow, that’s a long list of allergies. You should seek professional advice for this, perhaps even look into natural remedies, though with a grain of salt. Most people are probably not knowledgeable enough to give you a comprehensive and helpful answer, so again, you should seek a doctors advice who specializes in these topics, and not just one doctor, but many. Good luck to you!

Are there any resources for recipes that work around food allergies?

I have recently been diagnosed with a large amount of food allergies and the majority are healthy food items including soy and all legumes, peanuts, all nuts except almonds, rice, mustard seeds, sesame seeds, and a variety of other seeds, broccoli, turkey, cocoa beans, fish and seafood and this is just to the things I was tested for. It seems that most healthy cooking today includes one or more of these items and soy is found in everything. I am looking for some everyday great recipes that are healthy.

Try this website. It has a bunch of different diet formats. Good luck!

Have We Become Too Clean?

Have We Become Too Clean?

It seems the more advanced our society becomes and the

cleaner we get, the more prevalent food and other

allergies become.

The occurrences of common allergies are much higher in

more developed countries than in their lesser

developed counter parts. And the numbers are

increasing as industrialization spreads through out

the world.

According to the hygiene hypothesis, the modern

methods of cleaning and sanitizing get rid of too many

germs. The body’s natural immune system doesn’t have

enough to do.

In children, it doesn’t develop the way it should. And

since allergies are an incorrect response of the

immune system, childhood and adult allergies have

become more prevalent.

Studies also show that common allergic diseases like

hay fever, eczema and food allergies are found less

often in children from large families.

Apparently being exposed to infectious agents (germs)

by brothers and sisters is a good thing. It helps the

immune system learn what it’s supposed to protect our

bodies from.

Antibiotic usage during a baby’s first year and the

growing use of antibacterial cleaning products has

also been linked to an increase in asthma and other

allergies.

The hygiene hypothesis explains that the antibacterial

cleaning products and antibiotic drugs limit our

immune system’s exposure to infectious diseases,

parasites and other bacteria.

This limits the immune systems development. Because of

the lack of dirt and germs, the immune system doesn’t

learn what it’s supposed to be protecting the body

from and goes after the wrong things.
