Latest test results showed very high oxalates. This is caused in part by the constant yeast and bacteria that Jaden has and in part due to eating foods high in oxalates. Here is some of what I found in researching this news about our girl:

Another diet. I thought this one would be easy compared to doing the gluten-free, casein-free diet. But since most of what Jaden eats is high in oxalates, it's going to be really difficult. She is already mad at me this morning.
Lately I have felt I don't really have what it takes to keep on this road. I truly believe the biomedical route is the way to go with autistic children. I have seen it work for my girl, sometimes seeing miraculous things right before my eyes after being told it probably would not happen. However, it is taking longer than I asked for, and I am weak, burdened by anxiety and sadness most days, and don't feel up to this trip, thank you very much. I want off the train now!
And...I don't have a choice. Jaden has autism and her body is sick. Her immune system is not doing what it is supposed to do, her gastrointestinal system requires meds taken by those with aids...she struggles daily with sensory issues that cause her to walk on top of her toes and throw out her arms and hold her ears and run when she hears loud noises.
I can't stop helping her. I can't give up even though I ask Father to take this cup from me. I am so glad He is big enough to handle my cries of protest, my wailing and flailing and begging. I am so glad He gives me enough grace for each day. I am so glad He never condems me or leaves me. Oh, how grateful I am that I am never alone and my girl is never without hope and joy and peace, even in the middle of the mud and mire.
I waited patiently for the Lord
He turned to me and heard my cry
He lifted me out of the slimy pit
Out of the mud and mire
And set my feet upon a rock
He gave me a firm place to stand
He put a new song in my mouth
A hymn of praise to our God
Many will see and fear
And put their trust in the Lord.
