Every since i changed my diet to 100% raw food, my ibs has gone away almost completely...........?
I saw a doctor a while ago and he didn't know if i had ibs or food intolerances. By the way, I already knew that i was lactose intolerant. So anyways, about a week ago i stopped eating all cooked foods and i only eat raw fruits and vegetables. No bread, no sugar, nothing. All produce. Since then i've barely had any ibs symptoms that i used to have. So does this mean that cooked foods caused my ibs? Or could this mean that they were really food intolerances after all?
My newly adopted adult cat is eating only 1/4 cup of dry food a day?
I just adopted a 2 year old cat. She's small, about 8.5 pounds. I've had her for a week and I started with giving her 3/4 cup of dry food a day, which seemed to be the general recommendation on the bag and online. However she did not eat all that in one day, so I gave her 1/2 cup. She's been eating about half of that per day. She drinks and uses her litter box fine, and she's pretty active, but I'm worried why she's eating so little. Will she start eating more when she becomes more "settled" in the house or is this a normal amount for her to eat? Or should I be worried?
Do you have to eat a raw egg a day when muscle building?
No you don't...But some people do for the protein. However, there is a small risk that you can get Salmonella poisoning from eating raw eggs. Just stick with cooked egg whites, and other good protein sources...I eat a protein bar before I work out.
How much does the B.A.R.F. diet cost you on average?
.75 - 1.00 per pound, average of the less parts (necks are only .45/lb) and the more expensive parts (beef chuck, chicken breast, pheasant, rabbit, venison are $2-3/lb). I've fed 10lb to 70lb mutts, specific breeds, personal, foster, patient, and friend's pets for over 11 years with raw diet. Occasionally, it takes longer than 2-3 days to transition a new raw feeder who has only had dry food their lifetime. Raw can be switched quickly, as there are not a huge variety of ingredients, specifically high carb and high fat, to which the GI tract must adjust. 14 year olds that didn't need a dental cleaning or extractions their lifetime, stayed in ideal body condition, beautiful bloodwork and coat, great heart and lung health, little to no arthritis, and stayed highly active until they passed. My breeder vet, that had #1 dalmatians in national specialty shows repeatedly for 20 years, and now top whippets, is Pro-Raw for over 15 years now. She promotes it among her allergy, skin and GI, patients, dogs with obesity, liver, stomach, or pancreas problems, IBD, cancer patients, geriatrics, and ALL cats, as cats are obligate carnivores. Many vets are finally catching up to her innovative predictions of animal nutrition's effect on disease and defects of our pets. She was a research post-doc prior to veterinary medicine, and confers with veterinary nutritionists, reproductive specialists, evolutionary ecologists, and many other professionals regarding recommendations and evolving new literature and studies regarding animal nutrition. We don't feed cattle, horses, or goats "cereal" only; they get primarily roughage, in the form of hay, because they're herbivores. Carnivores need meat. Meat that isn't cooked, ground, and pressed into tiny pieces. It seems obvious and intuitive, but the pet food industry has progressed too well and infiltrates too much of veterinary medicine. Vets and owners must learn to think beyond the AAFCO guidelines and talk to each other about better food options.
