Hi, I don't have a bulldog but I have a Boston Terrier named Lulu who has severe allergies. I found this forum while doing a search on yeast and have been looking through the threads. So many of you have gone through this as well so I was wondering if I could as you a question because I don't know where else to turn. I'm hoping Lulu could be an honorary Bulldog for a day. :D
I've gotten Lulu allergy tested and since then she's improved a ton, but she still has yeast issues. The food I am feeding is Wellness Simple Solutions Salmon & Rice. I don't like it because it has too much carbs for the yeast but it's the only one she's not allergic to. Now Wellness changed their formulas and I have to find something for her to eat. She's allergic to flax, alfalfa, peas, oats, venison, lamb and can't have potatoes or sweet potatoes because her yeast got worse on those foods. I would love to try a low carb food like Nutrisca or Nature's Variety Instinct to try to reduce the yeast but she's allergic to those too.
I feel like my options are too limited by her allergy test results! I've read a LOT about how these tests are not accurate for food and am tempted to try giving her some peas etc. to see if she's allergic but I'm terrified of making her blowup in yeast again. Has anyone here done a food trial to find out if your dogs were indeed allergic to the foods to rule out false positives?
