Re: Low oxalates diet -- Hey you Diet Pros--Does this recipe look

[Guest guest]

I google'd low oxalate diet and found this article about oxalates. I didn't

know they had anything to do with kidney stones and when I saw this I was

relieved my son's BM has little black crystals in it that these things are

coming out.

I liked this article it tells about hi low moderate oxalate foods.

For what it is worth, vitamin A deficiency causes kidney stones in lab

animals, and when rodents are fed large doses of vitamin A before they

are fed large doses of oxalates, it protects them from oxalate-induced

kidney stones.

Also, vitamin K2, which is found in animal fat and lactic acid

fermented foods (but NOT vitamin K1, which is found in green

vegetables) protects against kidney stones and all other forms of soft

tissue calcification.

Vitamin K2 is found preferentially in the brain, where it contributes

to the synthesis or activation of proteins involved in protecting

against seizures and hypoactivity or lack of exploratory behavior in

animals. It is also found preferentially in the salivary glands and

the pancreas, so it probably plays an important role in digestion, but

this is not yet known about.

So the combination of kidney stones and any neuropyschiatric problems

should be taken as a major sign of vitamin K2 deficiency.

Vitamins A and K2 should always be taken with vitamin D, which may

have the added benefit of stimulating adequate gastric secretion for

proper digestion, according to one mouse study I found. Vitamin A

also has a sparing effect on glutathione peroxidase, which is depleted

in autistic children.

Hope that helps some.

So do you think that the oxalates are being helped by the enzymes? I am thinkng

of trying the LOD but am a bit confused because there is not so much info out

there yet. My son does seem to be attracted to high oxolate foods, and he seems

to be less tolerant of all kinds of random foods.

Arrrgh, so many options, some days I dont know where to go.

If you mean the study on vitamin D and gastric secretion, it's here:

============

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed & cmd=Retrieve & dopt=Abstra\

ctPlus & list_uids=7648398 & query_hl=25 & itool=pubmed_docsum

============

I haven't had time to track down the study and see what they mean by

" indicated " yet, or follow up on the concept. I just ran into it

recently in passing.
