Trying_Low_Oxalates/

The sandy stool description sounds much like what parents there

describe with oxalate.

I just saw in your other post about your doctor wanting you to give Miralax.

Don't do it!

That's how my son's gut got extremely damaged. It converts to oxalates in the

body if you

have any gut damage, which it sounds like you're dealing with. Definitely check

on the

oxalate forum for lots more info on the black speck problem. Just curious, what

do your kids'

diets look like? I wonder if they're getting a lot of high oxalate foods.

Honestly I held off so long from taking her to the Dr. because I am

never happy with the answers I get. However I became scared when all

this kept getting worse. I did not want to give her the Miralax

because I myself tried it awhile back for constipation / IBS problems

that I have long suffered and felt it only made matters worse. After

trying numerous diets and fiber supplements, I have been taking

magnesium and am having great sucess with it. The constipation any

how. So I am giving her Natural Calm Magnesium instead.

I have never heard of oxalate. I guess I have some research to do.

Right now my daughters diet does not consist of much. She has become

very picky. Mac & Cheese. Peanut Butter and Jelly, Toast w/Butter.

Hot Dogs. Apples, Carrots, Yogurt, Cereal. Your typical 3 year old

stuff. I do however buy Organic Whole Foods. Seems like Dairy

bothered her, so after breast feeding I went to soy milk for like a

year before I read that soy should never be given to infants and

toddlers. So then I switched her to Chocolate Almond Milk. She also

drinks alot of Apple juice (diluted w/H2O). I try to limit the

processed foods and sweets as much as possible, but I feel she still

gets more sugar than I would like. I have to find out what foods are

high oxalate foods and she if she eats alot of them. Thank you so much

for your responce. You have no idea how confussed I am right now.

don't mean to jump in on your thread, but the chocolate, almonds, peanut butter,

and bread are all high in oxylates. My son has high oxylates and there is some

supps you can take to help (if that's your child's case). They are Co-Q-10 and

L-Carnitine. I understand the kids love the chocolate almond milk....my son just

about lost his mind when I took it away. Then, in about 2 weeks he forgot about

it. Try the Vanilla hemp milk (lots of EFA's....very good texture and

consistancy)

Sounds like probably yeast to me. I have read about the " black

specks " before. Please look into that symptom.
