Low Oxalate/phenol/salicytate dietHi

[Guest guest]

Hi,Forgive me if I am not spelling these correctly, but is it possible to do low oxalate/phenol and salycitate and GFCFSF or would that mean starving to death? I made a list yesterday of foods that would be ok doing this and it is obviously SO limited (if I have all of my facts). I am completely willing to try this, but I wanted to see what you all recommend. Would it be better to try limiting these things one at a time? It's interesting because bananas and orange juice seem to be big offenders (can't remember if they are oxalate, phenol, etc - so hard to keep straight), but my girls have bananas and OJ (diluted) for breakfast every single day and have since they were very little. Should be interesting to see if cutting these out makes any difference.Also, once the gut is healed, does it stand to reason that our kids should be able to tolerate this stuff again or should I expect these foods to lead to problems forever? I realize this is going to depend on the kid. Just curious what the logic is here. I would love to eat at a restaurant with my kids again before I die. - Kirk-To: mb12 valtrex From: laurargoddin@...Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 14:52:21 +0000Subject: Re: What's Going On?

Love the oxalate horn -- Toni! No need to duck and cover! :0

BTW - I did give the calcium (imagine that, had the kind you suggested!) to Jimmy before his drink at 6am this morning..and no redness on face...drank beet juice again - he asked for it. Singing Frosty the Snowman -- I am not sure where 'and the fire and the hole' comes in (I think think he supposed to be singing 'and two eyes made out of coal?' -- who knows just love to hear the voice!!)

I drank a hot cocoa last night (it was cold and it sounded yummy) and SAM was up every 2 hours nursing. I'm exhausted! OXALATE HELL! Serves me right for not listening! Thought I could be sneaky...Sam knows though...

I am back on the wagon...really, I need sleep! laura
