Oxalates

[Guest guest]

Toni and ,

So I've decided to just do one shwoop and watch the oxalates, phenols and salicylates since we're pretty much starting from scratch anyhow. I've noticed with many of the fruits and vegetables that I'd have the best chance of getting into the boys tend to be low ox/but higher in salicylates. How do we work this? sort of like weight watcher's points? Also, I noticed potatoes were high ox. Do you know if that includes yucca too? My little guy's favorite is mashed potates.... and it's to sneak in cauliflower and a little avocado. Bad enough the peanut butter's gotta go and the tomato sauce has gotta go, but the potatoes? What a bummer. It seems like there's not a single food out there that isn't bad for you one way or another.

Yucca is high.Red Potatoes are medium.We eat potatoes about once a week. I'm living on the edge tonight, ate some potato chips without calcium... probably pay for it tomorrow. Ouchie.Tammy, DON'T cut all the oxalate low at one time. It will cause a huge, painful dump. Go slowly!!!

I still use tomato sauce, just in lower quantities.
