Re: anyone avoid high copper foods?

[Guest guest]

Copper is a problem for us too, so say the test results. I haven't

approached it through diet. Can you give examples of foods high in

copper? We do avoid high levels of salicylic acid and it makes a

tremendous difference. Thanks.

Here is a list of high copper foods. Interestingly, many of the same

foods are on the high oxalate list. But, as I said before, we've been

able to reintroduce the high oxalate foods not on this list (and even

some of these foods--for example many fruits, poultry, leafy green

vegetables) but I'm beginning to realize my son craves many of these

foods (beans especially) and when his diet has them in, he seems to

have more emotional periods than when they're out of the diet.

* Whole grain cereals

* Legumes

* Oysters

* Organ meats

* Cherries

* Dark chocolate

* Fruits

* Leafy green vegetables

* Nuts

* Poultry

* Prunes

* Soybeans

* Tofu

* Organ meats,

* Shellfish,

* Nuts

* Legumes.
