re: kidneys and cranberries

[Guest guest]

I find myself wondering why cranberry capsules won't work. Can't help but

wonder if the doc has a peer-reviewed citation to that effect.

When I asked about capsules - he said that she needed the fluid as well as the

cranberries. I know our daughter has very concentrated urine. She's not a big

water drinker at all. She WILL drink very sugary juices such as apple and grape.

He said that grape juice is not good for the crystals in her urine. Apple juice

makes her yeasty. I guess I wasn't expecting his answer on all of this. When I

asked how long she needed a pint of cranberry juice - he said every day for the

rest of her life. So, I guess I better find something that she will tolerate.

I don't recall ever seeing corn as an ingredient. Read more at

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia>. I've never seen any side effects from

stevia. Anyone else?

My 3 year old has issues with oxalates and stevia is very high. It

makes her hands swell up so much that her thumb cracks.

Tracey,

Thank you so much for the info. We're trying to avoid oxalates as much as

possible. I'll have to search and see if there are other natural sweeteners. Or,

I may have to go to cranberry capsules and do the best I can.

I tried xylitol but couldn't tolerate it. Now I use agave nectar.

agave is also very high oxalate. lately the only thing that works for

us is honey, sugar or maple syrup

Stevia definitely doesn't have corn in it. My son reacts very strongly to corn,

but doesn't have a problem with stevia, as long as it is pure powder with

nothing added. The liquid has grape fruit or grape seed exctract and he did

react to that.
