Calcium Citrate

[Guest guest]

Hi a1/4tsp of cal citrate is about 200mg. We have not discontinued the nut breads but brought down oxalates in fruits and veggies. Introduced coconut bread so down to brazil nut, hazelnut and pumpkin seed breads. I don't think we are going down that fast on the Oxalate. This morning he was weird in that he ate a big portion of bread like a starved person and in school ate his lunch with the snack like he has not eaten for days. I am giving cal citrate with breakfast because I thought it helps with digestion of Oxalate. Does magnesium do this also? If I had to do something now for dumping, is LArginine the one to bring on board? I have the 750mg capsule. Do I start with 1/3rd dose? I feel his body is distressed. He also cried yesterday like he was hurting. He is non-verbal. He is starting to attack people again. My son takes Citramin II by Thorne that has cal citrate 300mg. Is that enough so that I don't need to add more cal citrate powder by NOW? I am also giving mag citrate. If citrates are a problem I should switch back to cal/mag butyrate and glycinate which he took for years. Always appreciate what you try to do to help and understand what is going on. You have your own problems too yet you have space to help others. I thank youSent from my iPad

Hi Fransel,

I read and responded to your more recent post before this one. Oh boy, had a really rough day. I'm sure something happened in school that set him off, only his reaction was super exaggerated. Maybe you're right, that it's time to move schools, and maybe this isn't the worse thing. I can't imagine the cal citrate would have caused an outburst like that, or the additional zinc. Had he been on a lower oxalate diet for a while, and then had the nut bread? I'm wondering if it was a re-introduction of oxalates causing the problem? How many mg of cal citrate is in 1/4 tsp? L-arginine is good to lessen the affects of dumping, maybe that would help at this point. How is he feeling now?

I understand exactly how you feel!! a H.

> My son crashed today. I think the calcium citrate did it. He had a high oxalate nut bread for breakfast with an apple and 1/4 tsp calcium citrate. 2hrs later he destroyed school computer, kicked classmate, headbutt teacher. This was his probation period. He did not pass and will be moved to another school now. Maybe that's not the worst thing. I have to pick my battles.

> Only thing I have done other than Cal Citrate is adding 20mg zinc. I have not done P5P or L Arginine. Right now I am just sad.
