Feline Lymphoma is the most common type of cancer in cats, accounting for almost 33% of cat cancers. While lymphoma in general is caused by the same cellular degradation and malfunction as all cancers, gastrointestinal lymphomas’ development may be preventable.
G.I. Lymphoma
GI Lymphoma in cats is often associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD in cats is a group of gastrointestinal disorders that lead to an increase in the number of inflammatory cells found in the lining of the intestinal tract. Chronic vomiting and or diarrhea are the most common symptoms; at the time of diagnosis, the exact cause is often unknown. Unresolved food allergies and food sensitivities contribute to immune system dysfunction.
The increases in inflammatory cells that develop as a result of IBD have been directly linked to the development of GI lymphoma in cats. Chronic vomiting or diarrhea frequently go unnoticed, and at some point the resulting inflammation and scar tissue that develops in the lining of the intestine can transition to cancerous cells, leading to the development of lymphoma.
Veterinarians choose to treat IBD with steroids and other medications, whereas the natural approach uses Herbal anti-inflammatories, soothing agents, and soil-based probiotics (SBOs). The best way to prevent any GI disorder or disease is to make sure the GI tract has the benefit of SBOs on a regular basis.
If your cat is experiencing chronic diarrhea, vomiting or other stomach upsets, and has not responded to conventional treatment, he or she is at increased risk for developing GI lymphoma.
The Role of Good Bacteria
The foundation of a strong immune system is a healthy digestive environment. By providing your cat with SBO supplements, you can help prevent the development of lymphoma and cancer in your cats.
If your cat already has cancer, fortifying the immune system can be a powerful adjunct to traditional therapies, making them more effective, and thus increasing the cure rate of cancer in cats and thereby extending their lives.
The Royal Society of Medicine of Great Britain claims, “90% of all chronic disease is caused by an unhealthy intestinal system”. Clearly, improving gastrointestinal health stimulates the immune system. This also has a synergistic effect on improving your cats’ response to medical treatment, as well as their health. In addition, cats with cancer often develop vomiting and diarrhea as a direct result of the medication insult occurring to their body, which can further weaken their immune system.
Good bacteria, or “Probiotics” are essential to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract. These healthy bacteria help your cat to digest more of the nutrients, fight disease, and normalize the digestive system. In times of stress or illness, the good bacteria in the gut die off quicker, upsetting the delicate balance between good and bad bacteria. This imbalance leads to your cat being predisposed to further illness, chronic vomiting and diarrhea, and a weakened immune system. By supplementing with a clinically proven soil-based probiotic product for cats will quickly restore the natural balance in your cat’s gut. A strong immune system is the best defense to fight and prevent disease.
I took my cat, Hachi into the ER last night. I came home to a huge pile a pure blood vomit. About 100-150mL. He has had some issues going to the bathroom the last few weeks with some vomiting after eating. He had constipation yesterday. They show pancreatitis on ultrasound and swollen and dense lymph nodes. Getting a biopsy today for lymphoma. My question is how can I support his gut microbiome and his gut integrity as well as how can I help alleviate lymphoma if he does have it without chemo.
Hi Stephanie.
Sorry to hear about your cat.
I would recommend the advanced immune restoration protocol. It is a trio of products including Celloquent powder, vital pet lipids tuna oil, and herbal anti inflammatory tincture.

The Celloquent carries a lot of anticancer , anti inflammatory, and digestive ingredients. It includes soil based probiotics for strengthening the microbiome. There are many digestive enzymes to help digest food and reduce vomiting. There are detoxifying clays that bind to digestive irritants and reduce digestive distress.
The Herbal Anti-inflammatory tincture helps improve digestion and reduces vomiting also.
It acts like a steroid, reducing inflammation in general.
I would not use the advanced immune restoration gold protocol because of the blood thinning ingredients in the Celloquent gold. If your cat keeps vomiting blood while taking blood thinning ingredients, this will be a problem going forward.
Call or email us for more details.
Warmly

I have no official diagnosis yet. They suspect lymphoma, as they found an abdominal mass on x-ray. What caused concern was his high water intake/urine output with decreased appetite. No vomiting. No diarrhea. His blood panel shows low RBC count. Right now he’s on prednisolone for appetite. He seems to be at a plateau though. Still playful & sweet, but we know how our pets can hide their pain.
I’m struggling with what to do, as I’m on disability due to autoimmune disease. An ultrasound would be between $300-600 and they can’t do it at his office. It’s less invasive than biopsy, but if I do the US, they might tell me they want a biopsy.
My Jack already looks at me like he’s questioning why I pit him through this. He hates the pills. I just don’t wanna make his end of life torturous, but I wanna help him.
Could that mass be anything else?
He had these symptoms start at the end of summer/fall where it was noticeable and he hasn’t declined further really. So how can it be lymphoma if untreated, prognosis is typically several weeks?
I’m overwhelmed.
I’m sorry to hear about that Megan.
It could be a lipoma that is a fatty tumor that is not malignant. I would not put a lot of credence on a vet’s time frame for survival with cancer, because it is very unpredictable.
You may want to look at giving the advanced immune restoration gold protocol that is our most common combination of three products against lymphoma. Instructions come with the products so it should be pretty clear and easy how to use them.
The diagnosis doesn’t really matter in terms of using our products because they work against malignant and benign tumors in similar ways, without a difference in the protocol.
Call or email us anytime if you have more questions.
Hi my cat has been diagnosed with IBD and possibly lymphoma. I didn’t want a biopsy for her. She is ravenous all the time and has been started on a prednisolone. What can I give her to stop her from wanting to eat every hour and help her be more settled.
Hi karen. You can give your cat superfood powder for cats to help them feel more settled. But prednisone has many side effects and if you’re seeing them eat a lot of water and overeat it can cause kidney damage permanently and I would consider taking them off prednisolone if possible.
We have a tincture called herbal anti-inflammatory that works similarly to prednisolone. You cannot use those two together, but if you need more advice on how to make changes, call in at 575-758-3985 for a free consultation.
If there is a cancer situation, that is a different protocol all together, but you may want to look at the advanced immune restoration protocol.
Thanks
Robin
Hi, my cat has had chronic vomiting for the past month or so. I took him to the vet and he had good blood work but his X-ray showed “changes in his small intestine”. They recommended that I get him an ultrasound, as they suspect either IBD or lymphoma. I cannot afford to take him back to the vet anymore, let alone a specialist for his ultrasound. They already made me give him a rabies vaccination which I deeply regret. Is there a product/protocol that you can reccomend even without an actual diagnosis? I am currently trying to help restore and balance his gut in hopes that it will help his symptoms. I’ve also been transitioning him to a raw diet of rabbit. I am currently giving him a 30 day treatment of fecal microbiota transplant pills from animal biome to help restore his gut. I’ve been doing this for almost a week and he has vomited twice during that time, so I am not sure if it is working or if it needs more time. My cat is twelve years old. I feel really bad for him and kind of at a loss as far as what I should do for him at this point.
Hi Gayle.
I understand why you don’t want to spend more money with the veterinarians when there is no end of costs in sight and treatments may not be harm free.
You can go forward with our protocols without diagnosis.
I would recommend our Luxolite, a flavorless liquid clay supplement. It is good for stopping vomiting and stabilizing digestion. It is a gentle binder that acts like a natural peptobismol.
You can also use Super Pet Enzymes to help stop the vomiting also. It is a flavorless white powder you add to wet food. It gives all of the enzymes require to digest their meal and it can calm down the production of gastric fluids.
I recommend the Advanced Immune restoration protocol against the possible cancer situation and digestive upset as well, for a long term therapeutic solution. This trio of products is our original anti cancer protocol. It includes Celloquent powder, Vital pet lipids, and herbal anti inflammatory tincture. The protocol comes with paper instructions and you can email or call in anytime if you need more instructions.
My cat was recently diagnosed with GI lymphoma and put on a steroid 1 a day. Can I supplement it with a product like liquid Gold?. And would that help?she is all so taking laxatose to help her go to the bathroom.
Hi Ted. Sorry to hear about your cat.
I am not sure what you mean by liquid gold.
If you are referring to the Celloquent Gold powder, yes it is fine to combine with prednisolone.
Our products in the advanced immune restoration gold protocol are all helpful against GI lymphoma especially.
https://vitalityscience.com/product/advanced-immune-restoration-gold/
Our herbal anti inflammatory tincture can reduce the effectiveness of prednisolone, but only in higher doses.
Everything else from us does not interact.
If by liquid gold, you are referring to pet wellbeings Life Gold, then I cannot give much advice around their product. I believe it is also low in possible interactions and is fine with prednisolone, but this is not our product.
