Oh wat fijn dat hij weer stabiel is!
Mijn reactie op Carnibest: rijst is graan en bevat koolhydraat en is daarom gewoon ongeschikt als hondenvoeding voor gezonde honden. Verder bevat rijst glutamaat. In een laag gehalte maar het moet daarom tot een minimum beperkt worden. En daarnaast bevat rijst dus (nogmaals) koolhydraat en veroorzaakt dat fluctuaties in de bloedsuikerspiegel en dat moet je zien te vermijden (sowieso maar zeker wanneer je hond aan epilepsie lijdt).
Ik heb dat van rijst en zuivel niet zelf verzonnen hoor. Hier komen de bronnen (ik had bij zuivel voor de volledigheid moeten vermelden dat het om koe zuivel ging maar aangezien ik dat uit mijn hoofd vermelde en ik zuivel sowieso geen hondenvoeding vind, was ik niet helemaal volledig). Ik weet niet hoe je Engels is maar je kunt het in google translate goed vertalen en anders geef je maar een gil, vertaal ik het.

Grains
Wheat, barley and oats have the highest glutamate content. Corn and
rice have lower glutamate content, but should be kept to a minimum. Grains are a very common ingredient in commercial dry foods and treats … and sometimes they are listed as cereals.
Dairy Products From Cows’ Milk
Casein, the protein in cows’ milk is 20% glutamate by composition. Common dairy products for dogs are cheese chews and treats. Many people give dairy products like kefir and yogurt to dogs for their probiotic benefits. But don’t give them to your dog if he has seizures.
Beans
Soy, pinto beans, black beans, lentils. These legumes contain high amounts of glutamate. Soy is a filler in many commercial dry foods and treats.
Peanuts
Peanuts are very rich in glutamine. Many people use peanut butter as a dog treat or to stuff Kongs, etc. Peanuts not nuts – they are a legume, and you should avoid giving them to your dog.

Foods that promote inflammation. Inflammation affects every organ in the body, including the brain, so it probably comes as no surprise that inflammation can cause seizures. Dogs prone to seizures should not consume any potentially inflammatory ingredients, including foods that trigger allergies or intolerances / sensitivities, such as chemical additives, wheat, corn, soy, beef or
cow’s milk products— but remember that it can also include any food that causes a problem for an individual dog. In particular, never give products containing gluten to dogs with seizures, since gluten is specifically linked with neurological disorders, including epilepsy, and promotes autoimmune thyroiditis1 .
Foods that cause fluctuations in blood sugar. Sugars can disrupt the body’s equilibrium or homeostasis, possibly leading to seizures2 . Avoid giving seizure-prone dogs
carbohydrates with a high glycemic index (GI), including honey, sugars,
white rice, wheat, corn, white potatoes, carrots, and peas.
Foods containing glutamate and aspartate. Glutamate and aspartate are two excitatory non-essential amino acids2. Foods high in these amino acids include: grains, especially wheat, barley and oats; all
cow’s milk products (opt instead for goat’s milk, which is much lower); beans, especially soy, pinto, lima, black, navy and lentils; nuts, especially peanuts, cashews and pistachios; seeds, including sunflower and pumpkin; any food sweetened with aspartame, such as NutraSweet and Equal; rabbit; turkey; and monosodium glutamate (MSG), a glutamine salt. MSG is used in many prepared foods and can appear on pet food labels under a number of pseudonyms, including “hydrolyzed vegetable protein”, “soy protein extract” and “textured vegetable protein”3 . These foods should also be avoided in dogs with liver disease.
Noot Lizzy: Hier staat trouwens dat geitenzuivel minder rijk is aan glutamate dus dat zou je eventueel kunnen geven. Moet je je afvragen waarom je dat zou doen... Zuivel is eigenlijk niet gezond, niet voor mensen niet voor honden.
Rosemary and oregano. Rosemary is commonly added as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory to pet foods. While likely fine for most dogs, it is a neurotoxin that can promote seizures in vulnerable dogs. Oregano is also a powerful neurotoxin and should not be fed to epileptics.
Vitamin / mineral deficiencies and seizures. Many vitamins and minerals are important for normal functioning of the nervous system. Deficiencies in the minerals calcium, magnesium and sodium, for example, can affect electrical activity of brain cells and result in seizures2. Calcium and magnesium, as well as zinc, are also referred to as sedative minerals because they are calming for the nervous system3. Antioxidant vitamins (A, C and E) help boost the immune system and fight inflammation. Perhaps the most important vitamins to protect against seizures are the B vitamins.

Mocht jouw hond problemen hebben met zijn darmen, zou ik ook zeker na laten kijken of hij voldoende vitamine B12 heeft (en dat mag niet onder de 400 pmol/L zijn).
