This article even states: “Since food allergies and intolerances often play a part in IBD, it’s a good idea to avoid allergenic ingredients. A few of the most common cat food allergens are chicken, pork, beef, fish, dairy, and eggs.” But, most of the recommended foods still contain these allergenic proteins, so the article is contradictory.

This is the most accurate and all encompassing article I have read to date that touches all every vital aspect of IBD. I’ve been researching relentlessly for years so this article was so refreshing. Now if only a veterinarian within a 200 mile radius of me would have this much knowledge on the treatment of IBD… I appreciate your dedication to helping cats and their owners to understand IBD and offer the best treatment options out there to heal our babies. I’ll be reading many more of your articles. Thank you!!

I would try a variety of meats—they have several options that may be appropriate, and some trial and error may be needed to find the one that works best for your kitty.

My cat has IBD and she does not like freeze dried and many of the canned ones listed above. It is a very expensive trial and error. I am going to try the hound and gatos. Also the dry protien. I currently use the orijen. For moisture (she drinks water but not enough) I buy shrimp, put water in it, microwave it ,let it sit and she drinks the whole bowl.
This flare-up is pretty bad..she gets backed up and not diarrhea. So she is back to lactulose,prednisolome and mirtazapine along with sprinkle of optifiber on her food.
Can you give me a summary on fussi cat canned? She likes that, has moisture, it is expensive.

Yes! I’m so sorry about this—I’m not sure what happened. I definitely had the duck recipe listed here originally, and it looks like an article update was botched. Sorry about that! Thank you for letting me know.
