The Management with a Low Oxalate Diet of Abdominal Migraine in Children


P.V. Suckling

Abstract

Thirty-one cases of abdominal migraine have been successfully managed on a low oxalate diet. A suggestion has been put forward to account for some of the symptoms based on an enzyme deficiency of hereditary origin. Further studies are necessary to decide whether ketosis does in fact precede the onset of vomiting and other symptoms, and whether there is a genetically-determined enzymatic fault.
