Re: low oxalate diet

[Guest guest]

IMO, if a child has suspected leaky gut, try low oxalate diet to see if things improve. There will be healing regressions, so make sure you read the files/group messages at trying_low_oxalates so you know what supps to have on hand.

A way to tell if a person has problems with oxalates is to look at their diet... if they crave high oxalate foods, they likely have a problem with them.We tried the LOD for my son due to the fact he has seizures. Me and my daughter are doing it because she's ASD and I feel I should support them by doing the diet (I do cheat sometimes) My diet was very high oxalate, as my big craving foods were high oxalate ones. Being on the diet helped cleared up a 3 yr skin issue in me... something traditional medicine did not do and that GFCF only somewhat helped... once I did LOD, it healed 100%

 

Hello Group,

I am trying to find information regarding the low oxalate diet. I did SCD for a year and saw great results the only problem was when we tested my daughter food allergies she seemed to have #3 for nuts, and certain other things. Her DAN thought her results were a mistake even though I had adheared to the diet perfectly for a year he couldn't believe how few things she was sensitive to. I am wondering what makes one choose low oxalates diet, like is there specific symtoms I should look for or is it a trial and error thing. Also I am trying to work on the parasite issue without testing but my daughter was a #3 sensitivity to Black walnut which seems to be the natural choice by many. My daughter is still self injurious biting her wrists and hitting herself in the head so I'm wondering if maybe I'm missing something, could it be diet or parasites, has anyone used something to stop self injury with success. Sorry so long!

Thanks,

Sandy

Hi Sandy,Something that was happening that told me that my daughter had an oxalate issue was that she couldn't tolerate ANY nuts at all.  Oils that come from nuts and seeds were also a problem.  She had chronic diarrhea that got WAY worse when she ate nuts of any sort.  If she ate walnuts, they would come out undigested along with a few days of diarrhea that was more wicked than usual. 

She also had problems with things like amaranth, quinoa, -- any grain product.But these did not show up on her IGG.  She reacted to these things but she didn't have an immunological response to them.  The body would just reject them. 

This is why I suspected there was an oxalate problem.  And when I started her on medium-low ox...holy cow, she dumped oxalates like crazy.  I'm seeing lots of new gains every day now in week 8 of a low ox version of SCD.  We did see some healing regressions at Weeks 5 to 6.  Don't be discouraged if you see the regression...it's healing regression that passes.
