What are you hinting at with Vit C?

[Guest guest]

Hi -

I have read a few posts that hint at what sounds like a negative of giving our

kids vit c.... What is the risk or result? I had heard only good things and put

my son on 1000 mg.

Thanks -

If you have a kid with an oxalate issue, vitamin c converts to oxalates. It's avoided on a low-ox diet. If you have a kid that doesn't have an oxalate issue, you don't have much of a problem. My son takes 3g a day.

my son had a mild to moderate oxylate isssue meaning that as long as i kept the really high ox foods away from him he could do fine on medium and low foods....he tolerates 1000 mg vitamin c a day not problem....but if oxylates are a BIG problem then it is something to be aware of.

One study had shown increased urinary oxalate in as little as 500mg per day supplementation.I think they were healthy subjects, not otherwise known to have problems with oxalate.(A think a previous study had " tagged " the vitamin C so that it was known that the oxalate

leaving the body had actually formed from the vitamin C)The stupid study compared 50 mg and 500 mg and did not do anything in between; that is why I call it stupid. LOLWe are on LOD and we do probably 250 mg of Vit C a day in little bits thru the day.

Like 125 mg gummy vit c in the am and 60 mg in a combo supplement later, and then mg of it here and there.FWIW I did not know I had an oxalate problem till I lowered the oxalate in my diet. It enabled me to get off

of Wellbutrin and move to GABA and now I am off GABA. I use B vitamins to control my moods. My skin problemscleared up too. It took over a year for all that.I know Cheryl's son is not a gut-kid but if you have a gut-kid, it is very likely you have oxalate issues.

The good news is if you decide to try low oxalate diet, it's one you take a step at a time and not like GF where you go cold turkey.In my opinion if you are giving 1000mg a day of vitamin C and think it is a good thing, then just break it up into 4 servings and see if that

improves your child even more. If you decide to reduce the amount, then you can make it 125mg x 4 times a day or something.(That would be like 4 of those slice of life gummies)The other thing Owens from ARI has suggested is just try to have your child use dietary sources of vitamin C.

I think broccoli is a good one and there are fruits of course.

Do you guys use k2 as well? We've seen both kids oxalates decrease with it (hope there isn't a downside). We are still giving c too but now I am wondering if we should bring it down more after reading this...-- Sent from my Palm Pre
