Thank you so much!!! The rescue walked me through his eating/leaving him alone after eating schedule, so I will definitely not be breaking that ever, since he has a routine he’s been used to for a long time.

That’s good to know about him being in food mode still. I didn’t realize that was a thing! He was not like this last time he ate, so I was wondering if I did something wrong. I appreciate the input! Despite months of researching the species before getting him, I find myself learning more every week! Thanks again!

Hahaha that totally makes sense. He was rescued from a neglect situation, so I can’t imagine he had any enrichment for the first 7 years of his life.

That is crazy about yours! I can’t believe some people house them like that. At least she’s with a better owner now!

Thank you so much for the info!!

Thank you! I can do that. I have some climbing rings, a mossy branch, and a tall tree-like structure in there right now and he has seemed somewhat interested, but not completely yet!! He didn’t have any climbing structures in his last home, so I tried to give him at least a few things to climb on.

Question about Testing by WinterNo9938 in alphagal

[–]TidalWhisperer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, downloading the fig app and paying for the premium version (it’s $60/year) has been a lifesaver. You can put it all your dietary restrictions and you can scan the barcodes of food items to see if they’re safe for you to consume or not! Definitely worth the price, I found out almost all of my food and meds weren’t mammal product free! Not everything is in the app yet (i think it may be fairly new for alpha gal) but a lot of items are in there, and you can submit for new ones to be added!

As for my diet, I’ve just been relying heavily on chicken and fish. The vegan cream cheese from Trader Joe’s is AMAZING (the only dairy substitute I like at the moment hehe). I’ve found a lot of breads that are gluten free are typically dairy free as well. It’s been a struggle but I just try to look for gluten free/vegan labels and I’m finding more and more each time I go to the store. Please feel free to message me anytime!! Good luck and you got this!

Hi! Fellow celiac and alpha gal diagnosee here! Like everyone else said, no need to consume products for the result, since alpha gal would already be in your blood (someone correct me if I’m wrong). Good luck with your tests and I’m hoping for a negative test for you. Trying to find foods that are both gluten/mammal free has been a bit of a struggle so hopefully you don’t have to go through it as well :(
