Oxalates and Your Food

Since oxalate urine testing isn’t always reflective of what’s going on inside your body, one of the best ways to determine whether oxalates are a problem is by significantly reducing your intake. Then, see if your symptoms subside over time.

The goal is to get down to approximately 40 – 60 mg of oxalates per day. However, it’s important to reduce your intake slowly. Because a drastic drop can be dangerous, which is why I always recommend working with a professional.

On a low oxalate diet, it’s also important to drink plenty of water to help eliminate oxalates through your urine.

If you decide to try a low oxalate diet, you’ll want to start by slowly eliminating certain foods.

Your presentation on Oxalates was one of the best I’ve seen. I’ve read your book and tested positive for gluten sensitivity and following your protocol. I’m suffering from a lot of muscle, joint and digestive pain. I tested positive for Oxalates and at the same time I continue to test low for vit c. With covid worries I’ve been taking more C than usual but feel worse. Your presentation opened my eyes on this. I’m scared to stop taking all vit C but until I get the Oxalates issue resolved wondered what was best to eat or take to keep immune system strong?
