Guest guest Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Tammy my doc recommended Millet bread but son allergic to millet.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hi Fransel,I had been using those alternative grains for many years with no luck.I also tried for many years the Body ecology diet.So with that diet they suggest the grains to be sprouted,and that still never did my son well. I have not tried the coconut flour yet,I have it in my fridge waiting for the right recipie. As long as my son only 1-2 pieces of the junky bread a day and no other grains he seems to be more calm.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Ok Tammy let's touch base again later. I looked in the low oxalate foods site and reviewed the listed foods and compared it to my son's food allergies. Apparently if we mix calcium citrate complex to our nut breads oxalates can be better tolerated. I might also try coconut flour for making bread after resesrching more.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Fransel, i should have said we only used pecans in our nut bread and they might not be as high in oxalates as some of the other nuts. I don't know if you've checked out the low oxalate diet website or yahoo group, they would have that information. I think you still have to watch your total oxalate level even with the calcium but it helped here.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Yes,Fransel,I will keep track of your progress .. Its quite the journey.I am glad to not be alone. Thanks,Tammy F. Ok Tammy let's touch base again later. I looked in the low oxalate foods site and reviewed the listed foods and compared it to my son's food allergies. Apparently if we mix calcium citrate complex to our nut breads oxalates can be better tolerated. I might also try coconut flour for making bread after resesrching more.

I am gong to start back on Low ox diet next week,so I need to research the diet again.But I do remember it depends on the types of fruits,vegis,and meats.So I am no help.Maybe someone can talk more on the diet in relation to your son. That diet sounds like my sons,but without the whole grains. Tammy F. Tammy, by junky bread, did you mean the nut breads, or millet, quinoa or amaranth breads? My son has 2 brownie size nut breads and no other nuts for the day. Then he has organic meats, fresh fruits and cooked veggies. Are the oxalates from this diet the culprit you think?

I have not tried the coconut flour yet,I have it in my fridge waiting for the right recipie. As long as my son only 1-2 pieces of the junky bread a day and no other grains he seems to be more calm. Tammy Tammy my doc recommended Millet bread but son allergic to millet. Also quinoa and amaranth but found out here that quinoa was high oxalate. My son loves breakfast breads so I need bread alternatives. I will look into coconut flour for bread as suggested here too.

That idea comes from the NiDs idea on diet. The doc. says use it as needed,but don't over do. It is pretty much dead food,so my son seems to not react to it. Tammy F. Yes Tammy my doc recommends intravenous treatments to bypass the gut since my son is herxing a lot. We are not yet there as we are still doing more blood urine and saliva tests. In the meantime we are addressing gut issues thru better diet and supplements and elimination. Am sure there's oxalate dumping issues like today he aggressed towards his therapist and he just had blueberries (high oxalate). Another problem of mine is how to eliminate his nut breads. I do not have a substitute as even quinoa is high oxalate and millet is +3.

I tried risperidol also,it made my son worse also.We tried the natural route also and seemed worse than non natural. I have started the NIDS protocal and the doc. put him on amphotericin B,for yeast . He does not react too terribly to it.The doc. says it does not go systemic.Its been the only stomach med he can take.I tried all naturals ,nystatin,diflucan,enzymes.It only covers his stomach. Also,I have started the Nids diet(no milk,or whole grains).I think I notice a slight calm in him.Although doing with out milk was hard for him at fist. I am pondering the Low oxilate and no amylose diet.I tried the Low oxilate before but I am not sure I tried for long enough.I am also considering doing intravenious babesia treatment.Have you tried that? I am just so thankful I have you and others to talk.It was just awful being offline for a while. Thankful for you,Tammy F. Tammy we are experiencing the same - diagnosis is lyme bartonella anaplasma and co-infections. My son became aggressive with herbal treatments and nystatin so I tried risperidal but made things worse so we quit on 4th day. Am very scared to try new meds as he always goes thru the roof. What diet are you on? Our LLMD put us on modified SCD and no am.ylose diet. I am looking into the low oxalate diet. Good luck to all of us in this support group - the road ahead is bumpy but we gotta hang in there for our loved ones.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hi , yes I've checked the low oxalates sights and found Brazil nuts and chestnuts to be low oxalate. Pecans unfortunately have high oxalates along with almonds cashews hazelnuts macadamia peanuts pine nuts pistachio and walnuts.

I don't know if you've checked out the low oxalate diet website or yahoo group, they would have that information. I think you still have to watch your total oxalate level even with the calcium but it helped here.
