Vitamin D helps your body absorb more calcium, which is great if that was your goal. However, our goal with taking Vitamin C is to have it bind oxalate in the gut, so the oxalate can pass harmlessly through our bodies. You will still get this benefit from the calcium citrate with D, just not as much.

You can order calcium citrate without vitamin D online. Now brands is high quality for a moderate price. If you need Vitamin D (and many of us do), you can take your vitamin D supplement about 2 hours after a meal (you take calcium 20 min. before). You might also consider using magnesium citrate. It works the same way as calcium to bind oxalate and whatever is not bound and gets into the blood stream is a bonus for your body since so many women with your symptoms are magnesium deficient. In fact, I personally would take magnesium over calcium if I had to chose one (I take both). If you take both, take calcium with morning and early afternoon meals/snacks and magnesium with evening meals/snacks.

It is the only one I could find. Does vitamin D render it useless? I am totally new to this, but in so much pain I will try anything! I have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue sometimes, arthritis and now bladder and vulval pain that is horrendous. And terrible candida and constipation. Please advise,
Thank you
Shirley.

I’m so sorry to hear about your suffering. You sound like a perfect candidate for the low oxalate diet. I’ve talked with many women through the VP Foundation and the Trying Low Oxalates Group that have similar symptoms to yours and have been helped by a low oxalate diet. Many women with vulvar and bladder symptoms choose to only eat foods that are low oxalate and IC diet-approved, and have found healing that way. I didn’t follow all of the IC diet protocol, but in my first three years on the low oxalate diet I avoided acidic foods like tomatoes, vinegar or lemon (all of which I can eat now in moderation). I’m not sure what your IBS diet consists of, but many people on a low oxalate diet also choose to become gluten-free or grain-free. Some also become casein-free or follow a Paleo diet. All of these are very healing for the gut and can be very helpful for IBS (many people with oxalate toxicity have gut issues). If you check out my resources page you’ll find links for the Trying Low Oxalates Yahoo Group and Facebook group, plus the VP Foundation. You’ll find support from other very kind people there as you try to incorporate the low oxalate diet. You will also find people with similar symptoms to yours that can give you tips for coping and hope for healing.
Take care.

I’m 21 yrs old and have suffered from ibs since I can remember and since I was sixteen I started having pelvic pain that is still undiagnosed. They say I have pelvic floor dysfunction, possible vulvodynia, vestibulitis and IC. Should I just follow this low oxalate diet strictly or should I incorporate ibs diet and IC diet as well. So hard :( I hope you reply! My usual symptoms are what feels like burning urethra after I urinate, pain with sex, ibs symptoms (cramping, diarrhea when I eat a “bad food”) , but I have lately been getting this horrid pressure in my lower abdomen/bladder.

I am searching for help too. Did the low oxalate diet help you?
Thank you,

I started the low oxalate diet for vulvar pain, but I also have fibromyalgia, hypoglycemia, allergies, IBS, and IC. I’ve had some relief already with the VP and IC. Now that I know the other things may be an oxalate problem, too, I’m hoping they will get better also. Thanks so much for this fabulous site!
