Re: Diet recommendations for pregnancy?

[Guest guest]

Id avoid the really high stuff (veggies: spinach, chard, beets, nuts: almonds,

peanuts, cashews, and pine nuts really most nuts are pretty high, fruits: kiwi,

star fruit, guava, papaya, beans: black, canellini and great northern/white

beans).

This is a basic question, buy why avoid high oxalate foods during pregnancy?

What you say to avoid are really quite healthy. Are you talking about just some

people avoiding them or all pregnant women?

Avoid/limit the obvious: fish.

Thanks,

Pam

Im not so sure that these foods are all that healthy. Spinach and chard may be

high in Calcium, but the oxalate levels are so high that the calcium in them

isnt bioavailable. If you have a kid with a leaky gut and lousy gut flora, it

can be a risky proposition. Why take the risk when there are plenty of other

lower oxalate options that are nutritious and bioavailable?

I wouldnt recommend anyone with gut issues eat this stuff and for those that

dont have gut problems, I wouldnt recommend eating a whole lot of it. Its been

shocking to see the number of vegans and vegetarians that end up with oxalate

problems after 10-15 years of whats considered to be very healthy eating.

Karla,

What you have said is exactly what I have found doing some research on the

subject. My initial concern was because I had a Zyto scan two days ago and I

showed high stressors for spinach, kale, and other high oxalates. I also have

leaky gut so I don't want to cause more stress to my body since it's going to be

stressed enough with pregnancy and I am an old grey mare about to hit 42 years

old! Vicki

You might want to visit the Trying Low Oxalates Group. Its been a huge help for

me (I also have problems with oxalates)and my son. There's a pretty

comprehensive list of foods and thier oxalate content and the list owner,

Owens, is a wealth of information and help.

There's a lady who specializes in herbal supps for moms with kids at risk--she

had one kid at risk and then did all the research and had several more after

being told they wouldn't be viable. I love her stuff. She has pregnancy herbal

supp and even a supp for " Gentle Birth " . If I were prego again, I'd be taking

her stuff. Mountainroseherbs.com
