I swear it is the fiber wreaking havoc on the system that starts
this.


Dietary fiber does NOT bring about diarrhea.


It's a theory based on timing in my cat and some foods I've tried him on.
Since you say this, *why* do you say this?

This whole thing started with the diet change. Diarrhea was never a

problem
before the diet change. Maybe it's a food alergy, I don't know.

So your cat didn't have a problem until you started feeding him the urinary
formula of Science Diet? Interesting. Maybe he is allergic to something

in
the Hill's foods, I don't know.



Lauren, you're first suggestion is always a problem w/ Hill's, isn't it?

Lay
off it for awhile if you can help yourself. If it is a food allergy, z/d

would
diagnose it fairly quickly and also be the long-term solution. Oops, never
mind--it's a Hill's diet that works.


Not for a lot of dogs and cats I know, it hasn't - mine included. People
tend to recommend the kind of food their pets do well on. You recommend
Hill's, other people recommend other kinds. When I know of people whose
pets are experiencing food allergies, I tell them what I feed my dog +
plus what a few other people I know feed.


Exactly, Karen! If any of my cats had ever done well on Hill's Science Die I
would definitely be recommending it. But unfortunately any cat I've ever fed
Hill's foods never did good on it. So why would I recommend it when there are
so many other better foods out there? Maybe I should be like Gaubster and just
blindly listen to anything Hill's has to say, nevermind how the animal actually
does on the stuff.

You're
becoming quite obsessed with what Lauren has to say. Do you have a crush
on her???


EEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'Cuz you're statement is counterintuitive. Dietary fiber is what
gives stool the volume needed for the intestines to 'grab on' to
waste material and move it along. Try it on yourself: Eat a bowl of
bran cereal (GrapeNuts, Shredded Wheat, Raisin Bran, or a large
helping of rice) every morning and see what happens to YOUR "output."
(more dietary fiber does increase the need for liquid intake
otherwise, you can bring on constipation.)
