How to eat a low oxalate diet

by Jill Harris on Jan 29, 2018

Do you need a list?

Many of you leave the doctor’s office thinking you will never be able to eat a fruit or vegetable again. If that wasn’t bad enough chocolate and nuts are gone, too. Some of this sadly is true, most of it is not. I am here to bring you good news: Almost everything, high oxalate or not, can be incorporated into your diet safely.

Do you need a low oxalate diet? You may if your stones contain calcium oxalate crystals and your urine oxalate is high enough to pose risk.

If you do need a low oxalate diet, what is your goal? Less than 100 mg of diet oxalate is good; less than 50 mg is ideal.

If you want to read some of the science about urine oxalate and risk of stones and about how we get to the diet oxalate goals, it is summarized at the end of this article.

Here we assume you do need to lower the oxalate in your diet.

    The link to the “full article”, https://kidneystones.uchicago.edu/how-to-eat-a-low-oxalate-diet/, has an error code page (” SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE”) on my web browser (Firefox) that will not allow one to connect to it unless one uses an “advanced” access link.

    The webpage’s “Certificate” states that its “Validity”, lasts until “Not After

      Hi Ben,
      The link goes to the University of Chicago’s site and it is down right now. They are aware and it will be fixed soon.
