Coffee, for example, has oxalates, but I drink it anyway. Rhubarb, strawberries... There is a website that lists the oxalate content of foods. Just use your search engine. I am at work so don't have my links here. marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Lately I have been living on turnips greens and nuts thinking that I am doing something healthy. I will try the low oxalate diet and see if my gut feels better. Thank you for the info. I did read where collard greens are now on the acceptable list. I don't understand that. Maybe I will try eating them and taking the mag and calcium citrate before. I am very skinny and I do not absorb fat. The oil comes out on my hair and skin. joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi Marti yes I can understand that you think you don't have trouble with oxalates given that you can eat as many nuts as you like. I did not have any symptoms from nuts and many other foods, I also was eating lots of nuts, and many other foods high in oxalates. Oxalates have an accumulative effect - you may not be able to pin point a reaction to a certain food. It is not an intollerance as such like a sensitivity to say amines or salicylites or a particular food. The cause of the many symptoms are not always obvious and we think we know why we are having certain symptoms, but tell me have you been able to correct the cause of your symptoms? I urge you to have an open mind and read the files at Trying Low Oxalates. If you have leaky gut then chances of oxalates entering your body are very high regardless of whether you have symptoms or symptoms that you recognise or fully understand. Example do you have irritable bowel? If so, this could be part of your body dumping oxalates, but to the unknowing this could just be put down to irritable bowel. I want to gloat, I have just finished my second week of part time work - 7 years of being unable to work. It has been a fantastic feeling to receive a pay cheque again. 20+ years of cfs, chlamidia pn. 15 yrs with blastocystus hominus, very high mercury, endless chelation, microplasmas, bowel infections, candida and for many years fibromyalgia - I couldn't walk, I even had to go through rehab sitting attached to a computer and my head in a brace with controlled movements and weights to strengthen my neck upper back muscles, I had lost so much strength I could not hold my head up. Also spent a year twice a week in an hyperbaric chamber. I have turned myself around with like you lots of reasearch and testing such as Dr Myhills DNA testing/mitochondria dysfunction, methylation panel and genetics all confirmed cfs/glutathione depletion. I now walk 40 minutes briskly daily and work and I don't fall in a heap the next day, I get up at 6 and go all day again. I now have a life again, and it is so exciting. I have suspected for many years the toxins causing all the oxidative stress are coming from the gut. Dr Usman's biofilm protocol, antibiotics, Dr Borody's stool infusion, and now low oxalate diet all in the past 10 months have turned my life around. The information is out there, there just needs to be a lot more collaboration between researchers/doctors and scientists to pull different aspects of the puzzle together - it is such a complex issue to solve and a lot of hard work, persistence by the individual is needed, I have never relied on one or two doctors/researchers for all my answers. I'm not 100%, my body still has a lot of healing and my bowel bacteria will take a year to establish but I am 75% of the way there. But please keep your fingers crossed for me that nothing comes out of left field at me. This little guinea pig is nearly on home base. > > > > how fast do results show up? if i stay off oxalates for 2 days, is that enough to be able to tell? > > so far, it is not obvious to me i have ever had a reaction to them. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi Is it common for the salicylate sensitive persons to also have oxalate sensitivity or are these two completely different things? Thanks nil Re: oxalates Hi Marti yes I can understand that you think you don't have trouble with oxalates given that you can eat as many nuts as you like.
