oxalates?

[Guest guest]

What would lead you to believe that a child had an oxalate problem? I

*think* that my son who has been SCD for about a month and a half does

not do as well with grape juice and spinach in his diet as he does

when it's not there. I am going to totally remove those tomorrow and

see how it goes. I would like to find out what other symptoms to look

for. He's never had the sandy stool issue I have read so much about

or any indication of kidney stones or anything like that. My son is 2

by the way. I don't know if I'm looking at a food intolerance issue

or if it's an oxalate issue, or neither and it's something else

entirely. He's doing OK and the constipation has been gone for a week

or so, but he is having occasional green stools and a couple of very

small, though not dry or hard, yet difficult-to-pass stools every

day. He has also had one very large formed stool every day and that

is great, but there is still something not quite right.

He was eating bone broth, but now he will not touch it. The

suggestion was made to add bone broth to the popscicles, but would

that not destroy all the enzymes?

We are still fairly new at this and everything is still peeled and

cooked. He didn't seem to do too well with apples or carrots. I felt

it was making the constipation even worse His diet, if that is

helpful is:

Bananas

Pears

Peaches

Squash (acorn, butternut, and banana)

Green Beans

Spinach

Cucumber

Zucchini

Boiled Chicken

Egg fried in a little coconut oil

Gelatin made with Knudsen's just blueberry or just cherry

Welch's grape juice - just enough to sweeten his veggie popscicles

Prune juice - also just a little to sweeten the popscicles

Almond Butter

A little honey

Supplements -

Kirkman's Acidophilus

Mag Citrate

Zinc Picolinate

Cod Liver Oil from Green Pastures

Butter Oil from Green Pastures
