Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 My son has been on the Low Oxalate diet (in addition to GFCF) for 2 plus years. Its been a big help. The diet can be tricky at first if your GFCF, but its doable. Tyring Low Oxalates is a group with alot of good information. Its a good starting point. The files section has info specifically related to autism and oxalates. Feel free to email me offline if you have any specific questions.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Is oxalic acid and oxalates related at all, if so i was looking into parsley(as well as some other herbs) at the weekend and it said calcium supplement will help with oxalic acid, i am just not sure if the two are linked? http://ezinearticles.com/?Learn-About-The-Health-Benefits-of-Parsley & id=505174 x From: danasview@...

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Good morning, , We are still battling Oxalate levels. My son was at 208.89 (7/8/2009), 56.27 (9/22/09), 165.75 (12/8/2009), and 78.34 (3/2/2010). I have shipped a new OATS this morning. The main things that have helped us is Calcium/Magnesium supplement from VitaminShoppe and B6/Magnesium supplement from Kirkman (I think). I am also considering trying New Beginnings Calcium/Magnesium Chewable wafer. The Yo-Yo results are because we take the Calcium/Magnesium out of the rotation of supplements. For us, everytime we take the calcium/magnesium out we see the oxalate increase. Hope this helps. Jerry From: danasview@...

Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:05:55 +0000 Subject: [ ] Re: Oxalate Levels The two are related. One produces the other. Calcium Citrate taken before meals (30-45 minutes depending on the form you take) will bind oxlates. Parsley is medium to high oxalate (depends on the soil conditions it came from).

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Wow, I didn't even know there was a low oxalate diet! I'm going to have to read up on that. My sons lab work came back with high oxalates, but our Doc... kinda stinks. She's very busy and overburdened so I think that has a lot to do with it. She said we'd need to figure it out, and never mentioned it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 A lot of the DANS! are not really up on the oxalate thing yet. My family has a history of kidney stones so I was somewhat familiar with oxalates in that area. Found the site by accident, and its been very helpful.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 My son had oxalate problems, and I found that diet isn't the only way to treat it. Probiotics are extremely important, as the right ones will break down oxalates in the gut. I think the bifidus family is important- especially bifidus infantis, but you might want to double check that. Also, giving calcium citrate before meals will help- the calcium bonds with the oxalate crystal and keep it from being absorbed from the gut. If there are oxalate issues, you may want to look into calcium use in the body, and vitamin K2. An oxalate problem is a sign of a deeper imbalance in the body, and while the low oxalate diet will help alleviate symptoms, it won't heal the underlying problem. -Sierra > > > > Wow, I didn't even know there was a low oxalate diet!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 True, the diet alone isnt the answer, but it is a big help. We do alot of probiotics along with the diet and Cal Citrate. Magnesium Citrate also binds oxalates as well. VSL 3 is the probiotic reccomended for oxalates, and we use that in additon to others. Biotin, taurine and argnine are also very helpful. We use Vit K2 as well but not in high doses. Karla > > > > > > Wow, I didn't even know there was a low oxalate diet! I'm going to have to read up on that.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 It's not just oxalates,a lot of DAN!s get the reason there are high porphyrins all wrong too.I'm still not sure why it is,but it ain't mercury in vaccines.  ________________________________ From: wiersmak <wiersmak@...> Sent: Thu, April 15, 2010 11:55:19 AM Subject: Re: Oxalate Levels  A lot of the DANS! are not really up on the oxalate thing yet.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Yeah, both my kids' porphyrins and oxalates are way high. Strangely their metals aren't. I do know though that the vaccines caused them to get ill in the first place. It was very obvious every time I got them their shots. They got way high fevers, rancid diareah etc...my son even went comatose for a few hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Yes. Specifically reccomended for oxalates. However, it does have a strep strain (the capsules, not sure about the sachets) if that is a concern. Karla Karla > > > > > > > > > > > > Wow, I didn't even know there was a low oxalate diet!
