Sorry to hear about your health issues. You definitely can eat a lot of fruit and veggies on a low oxalate diet. I probably eat 8 – 12 servings of fruit and veggies a day. The trick is choosing mostly low oxalate fruits and veggies with a few mediums thrown in each day for variety. Some great low oxalate green veggies are turnip greens, mustard greens, dino kale, all lettuces, arugula, collard greens (lower medium), broccoli, kohlarabi, all cabbages, and broccoli rabe. Some great low oxalate fruits are blue berries, all melons, apples, avocado, red bell pepper, most squashes (zucchini, summer squash, pumpkin, butternut, spaghetti, acorn etc.), cucumbers and big beef variety tomatoes. Cauliflower is also low oxalate, as are turnips, garlic, onions, rutabaga and boiled carrots. Also, make sure you don’t waste your oxalate content on foods with low nutritional value like processed bread/crackers etc. Eat your veggies and fruits with meats, eggs, yogurt (all low oxalate) and small amounts of brown rice (lower medium oxalate) or corn (low oxalate). For example, a veggie omelette with onions, red pepper and zucchini cooked in olive oil is low oxalate and a great way to start the day with healthy protein and veggies. Add some cantelope or blue berries on the side and you’ve got a healthy low oxalate breakfast that won’t raise your blood sugar and should fit in with most diet plans.
Hope this helps,
Heidi

It’s a staple in my house. Brands with guar gum (a stabilizer that keeps the liquid and fat from separating) are medium oxalate.

Whey protein powder is low oxalate. You could also try sunflower seed butter (medium oxalate) instead of peanut butter (very high oxalate). Maybe try romain lettuce, arugula, turnip greens, mustard greens or collard greens for the spinach (all are low oxalate raw, although you need to watch your portion sizes for collard greens). The blueberries and dino kale are also low oxalate. If you’d like to add some citrus, you might try oranges, lemon or lime.
Hope this helps.
Heidi

I have been on Weight Watchers and losing very consistently with it. I have hard two episodes of k stones in the last six months. I am 63 and we are trying to figure out why the sudden onset of k stones. I also have Crohn’s Disease. My question is how am I going to combine Weight Watchers diet with the low oxalate diet. The WW diet focuses on lots of fruits and green veggies. I have great concern that the two won’t work together. I have also recently DC’d my oral calcium supplement. Would that have an impact also. With this last bout of k stones I had to be scooped to have them removed. The MD also left s stent in place. A very unpleasant procedure. Please help.

Just found your site. Lots of good info. My Low Ox interest is from the kidney stone side of things. I am in the process of losing weight and started drinking protein smoothies lately (as meal replacement). In my smoothie I used a lot of spinach, kale (dino), blueberries, peanut butter, and protein powder (vegan–not that I am a vegan).

I am hoping to continue the smoothie drinking just with some ingredient mods.

Is whey protein powder high in oxalate?

Thanks,
Richard

I know they have periodic glitches when it’s really hard to get on. Do you have access to another computer? Sometimes a different computer makes a difference. Or try a different web browser – especially one that’s been recently updated. I had a reader go to the public library and join from there. Once she joined, she was able to access the site from her own device.

You might also try joining the Trying Low Oxalates Facebook group. Ask for help there and ask if Monica or Karla will send you list through personal message. They’ve done that for many people who couldn’t access yahoo.
Hope this helps.

I’ve been trying to join the Trying Low oxalates yahoo group to get the food list but when I enter all my info and the CAPTA it just says “Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content.” every time I try. Any suggestions? I really need the list. Thanks so much!
