I read the articles and think that there is some merit to what Dr Syme says. I suspect his ratio to wet food is too high (re the carbs), but my own situation since being diagnosed with coeliac has been that I have yukky blood glucose symptoms on the highly refined gluten free flours - most foods are prepared with white rice flour et al. Terrible stuff that makes me shakey soon after I've eaten it. I can have one slice of gluten free toast at breakfast but if I eat two pieces I feel bad all day. A few months ago I started eating gluten free whole oats (imported from the US) and it made a HUGE difference to how I felt. No more feeling sick, shakey, weak and hungry.
I think that it's ok for a cat to eat a small amount of carbs in relation to the correct percentage of raw and that it would make a lot of sense that those carbs are complex carbs. My cat is too old to eat new food that isn't dosed up with appetising bad stuff. He's a would be cat food junkie! i tried him on the complete mix yestrdat and he pretty much stood there and said "you gotta be joking"!
Just curious to hear what others think of it.
