Very nice of you but I’m well versed in oxalates. Chronic kidney disease, kidney failure and stones are a common complaint.
A lot of the research into oxalate content in food is unreliable but that list seems sound enough if perhaps a little limited.

I don’t agree with the part where you don’t need to bother about oxalate content unless theres a history of kidney disease. Toxins have far ranging effects before they cause organ damage or failure.
But each to their own.

Sally Norton is the best in this field. She has a comprehensive book rating oxalate content in milligrams and how reliable the research is that provided the data. ‘Toxic superfoods’ (the first book not the oxalate listing one) is interesting and compelling if you like science based reads.

That was the other diagnosis I got ckd ... so I am definitely looking before leaping when it comes to ingredients.
The best practice is avoiding it getting any worse :)

Thanks SandwichShortOfAPicnic. Here is a list of foods high in oxalates. 20 Foods High in Oxalates to Limit if You Have Kidney Stones | Livestrong.com
SatNavSaysStraightOn , If any of these foods appeal, I suggest asking a medical professional. They may suggest combining with dairy or something else with high calcium.

Thanks, but I've no history of kidney stones. And whilst I take calcium tablets (as well as potassium tablets), urine concentration isn't a problem for me drinking around 4L a day.
Plus I can't have dairy. That really will kill me (anaphylactic shock).

I eat most of the foods on that list regularly. My diet is the one thing my gp has no issues with.

Spinach: 755 mg
Rhubarb: 541 mg
Buckwheat Groats: 133 mg
Almonds: 122 mg
Miso Soup: 111 mg
Corn Grits: 97 mg
Baked Potato: 97 mg
Soybeans: 96 mg
Bulgur: 86 mg
Beets: 76 mg
Navy Beans: 76 mg
Hot Chocolate: 65 mg
Brownies: 62 mg
Okra: 57 mg
Bran Flakes With Raisins: 57 mg
French Fries: 51 mg
Cashews: 49 mg
Raspberries: 48 mg
Bagels: 40 mg
Lentil Soup: 39 mg

What I don't understand is why they recommend that you include extra calcium in your diet when you eat high oxalate food, so that it binds with it when they also say that calcium oxalate forms 80% of kidney stones. :scratchhead:perhaps it will make more sense tomorrow?
