<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Here is some info. I thought I'd relay on grain-fed catfish. Its from my hubby who is a wildlife biologist.... Yes! If you remember the story I told you about a fellow flight instructor's mother also having Celiac Sprue, I told you of some of the problems she has had. She was unable to eat catfish because they were fed wheat kernals. She also had problems with grain fed beef that had a diet other than corn. However, most farm raised fish are fed pellets that are well rounded diets high in protein and very little fillers. Grain fed fish come from low quality operations. Most salmon comes from the ocean where they prey on other fish and, therefore, are safe to eat. 90+% of all corn raised in the country is used for feeding beef . The price is low enough to allow cattle raised on the range to be fattened up and made to taste better using corn. From my limited experience, cattle are usually fed strictly corn in the final month of their life. I could be wrong, but I bet only the most sensitive of Sprue sufferers react to fish and cattle raised on taboo grain products. _____________________________________________ Donna L.
