One of my kitties is eating Radcat turkey* exclusively. He has had IBD for years and this is the only diet that has controlled it for the most part--not even steroids could get it under control. He cannot eat bone.

However, he still has issues with indigestion, so I'd like to try doing homemade raw. I'm wondering if he might have an egg sensitivity since when I've made him raw food using Hare Today meat with Alnutrin supplements added, it exacerbates the indigestion. I'd like to try using MCHA powder instead of the eggshell to see if this has an effect.

I'm wondering about a good brand, though. The "Pure Encapsulations" brand contains some other ingredients--magnesium (as magnesium citrate), ascorbyl palmitate, vegetarian capsule. Are these safe to feed? Is there another brand that is just "straight" MCHA?

Thanks!

*Turkey seems to be the only meat he can handle--chicken, duck, goose and  red meat have all made him ill. Rabbit is difficult to come by and he doesn't like the boneless rabbit from HT. If anyone has any recommendations for alterative meats to try I'd love to hear it!

Radcat is made with eggshell, so if he's fine with Radcat, he shouldn't have an eggshell sensitivity. Egg and eggshell are separate ingredients so cats can be allergic to chicken, and be fine with chicken eggs, or be allergic to eggs but not eggshell.

Thanks, Paiger8. I guess I should clarify--Radcat does contain both eggshell and egg, and I was hoping to try him on diet that contains neither (he does a lot of gulping and burping, which admittedly is better than the projectile vomiting he used to do). Hence, the search for a good brand of MCHA. If anyone here has a brand that works for you I'd love to hear it.
