He is still able to run, jump, and climb with some limitations. He takes cosequin ds and he is fed a (human grade) homemade natural diet (incl. treats) supplemented daily with flax seed oil, and a probiotic. I utilize ingredients that are anti inflammatory and heart healthy such as tumeric, yucca, and lentils to name a few. Good luck!

I wonder about the fresh produce? I am on Organic for serious health issues...I would hate to think all my produce is coming from China....cabbage.beets etc. I would appreciate a reply...thank you.

]]> Comment on Ten Tasty Gluten-Free Recipes by Shari http://blog.wholefoodsmarket.com/2012/05/ten-tasty-gluten-free-recipes/#comment-237011 Shari Tue, 22 May 2012 19:50:06 +0000 http://blog.wholefoodsmarket.com/?p=29643#comment-237011 Megan, I have to tell you how wonderful I think it is that you make gluten free potluck items to make sure your GF friends have something to eat! I have been in the opposite situation and it does not feel good being able to eat only the one thing that you bring. I have also been in the situation where I was told that I can bring for myself, but don't bother bringing enough for the group! (I know, the nerve!!) Kim, it's really not that hard once you get used to things. I went GF about 3 or 4 years ago and it has gotten much better since then. Some folks before me have already pointed out some of my favorite sites for recipes, but in terms of restaurants, I have had the best experiences at Outback Steakhouse. They went so far as to take back my shrimp because they weren't 100% sure if the little black marks were seasoning or grill lines. They take GF very seriously there! Ling and Louie's and PF Changs are always knowledgeable as well. More and more, you find restaurants that can guide you and accommodate you for gluten free items. Don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions, they really are used to it now. Hope your first few days have gone well for you!

(1) search for recipes so you can make good replacements for the gluten foods you love (cookies, breads, cakes, muffins, waffles, etc), and (2) eat things that never had gluten anyway (corn tortilla tacos & enchiladas, stir fry on rice, meat & veggies, potatoes, polenta, quinoa, etc). I prefer #2 because it is easier and usually healthier to skip all that high-carb stuff anyway. There are 2 basic ways to go gluten-free.

I feel mislead & very disappointed. Most products from China have been in the news for some time now because they have proven to be unhealthy not because they are good for consumption.What happened to Whole Foods locally grown food concept? I can't believe in the United States we have a shortage of locally grown organic food....there are farmer's markets in just about every town. I for one will not pay top dollar for food from China Food from China contradicts everything I thought Whole Foods was. I feel mislead & very disappointed.

Mine is still a pup, but I am going to start putting some flax in her food now, and hopefully try to put off the arthritis. Good luck with your baby. :) A friend just told me that flax seed is great for pets’ joints.
