i have sponge kidneys and have numerous tiny stones in the upper kidneys and larger ones in the lower left kidney. the last 24 hour urine test I took stated my oxalate was very high probably due to diet. what vegtables should I avoid ? do u have a list of low, medium and high oxalate foods. I am a 68 year old female.
Hi, Please avoid beet, spinach, celery, chard, okra and parsley. In addition you should avoid chocolates, bran, peanuts, soy products, almond, strawberries and fiber containing cereals. Taking calcium citrate and/or magnesium oxide along with meals helps to bind excess oxalate in food and reduce its absorption. Please consult the website of oxalosis and hyperoxaluria foundation for a list of food with low,medium and high oxalate content: http://www.ohf.org/docs/Oxalate2008.pdf I am available to answer any more queries you may have, Wish you good health, Dr. Raguram.
