Re: Why is she bruising so easily lately?

[Guest guest]

Vitamin c was huge huge huge here. (from the oxalate group) explained a week or two ago why it does so awesome at first then seems to cause problems. We didn't experience any negative here - it helped us (immensely) through a pretty tough period. Sometimes we have to pick our demons....

Oh lord, this is not gonna win me any friends on the low ox, as I am, but my son had this until I started supping Vitamin C, which is against the rules. Nothing crazy, but 120mg/day stopped it, along with the horribly chapped lips he used to have. His Vit C level was a 1.4 on his OAT test. Now, I supp every other day, or on days when he doesn't get any in his diet, and it seems to be holding and not causing problems.

120 mg/day is fine. 120 mg twice a day is generally fine as well... I guess the problem is if the vitamin C is in excess of what is used, it turns into oxalate.So generally recommends just trying to eat high vit c foods.

We have some issues with Vit C.  I tried it for a while (I had bought the Natural Factors crystals) -- like 1/6 of a teaspoon, which amounted to something like 100 mg, and it gave her some funky runs so I abandoned it but that was a while ago and a few things have changed since then.  She had IgG issues with citrus last year because she had been eating tons of oranges but maybe that's changed, too?  I should some re-try some citrus fruits in small amounts...I know they're medium oxalate so yeah, we'll definitely go easy on them.  I don't think her stomach can handle large amounts of any one thing anyway.

I think pineapple and mango are high in vit c., low in oxalate. Oh, broccoli is a good source of vit c I believe, as well. Check at whfoods.com or whatever that site is...
