Re: OAT and High Oxalates in urine, poking eyes and nose

[Guest guest]

My son was getting too many high oxalates in his diet. He was also

poking his eyes. After lowering the amount, he stopped pokin and now

he does a lot of squinting. I think I need to remove them completely.

In the oxaletes group, they explained that oxalates/crystals

cause pain in soft tissue as they move around and leave the body

(oxalate dump.) Sandy, yellowish stools are also a sign of oxalate

dumping.

If your child has oxalate issues, you can try giving B6 and magnesium.

I know some people who are not limiting oxalates, just giving those,

with good results.

Eye poking can be caused by calcium deficiency, so watch for that.

We didn't go onto a specifically low oxalate diet, but we did cut out

some things that were very high oxalate, like chocolate and almonds.

I think the B6 helped, but I've also heard/read (I think on the

oxalate group and elsewhere) that probiotics can be the best

thing. Apparently, some good bacteria actually absorb or neutralize

oxalates, so when your gut is healthy the oxalates don't harm you.

Interesting about the calcium, it's probably connected to the oxalate

issue. Taking calcium citrate before meals is also supposed to " mop

up " the oxalates, and there does seem to be a connection between

oxalates and calcium deficiency.
