I find this frustrating too! After listening to so many videos and reading so many websites about oxalates, I have decided to make just a few simple tweaks and then stop worrying about it. Now I avoid spinach and kale in my salads, opting for other leafy greens like arugula and baby bok choy. When I have the occasional spinach salad, I make sure that I have a little more goat cheese on it. I have cut down on, but not eliminated, other suspects, like almonds, beans, chocolates. I think moderation is the key here, as with everything. Many of the oxalate foods are also good sources of protein, and since I do not eat meat, I rely on those. Ima Jennings has some good info on her website, but again, take it all with a grain of salt….but only a grain because salt is bad too!🤪

Apparently those of us with osteoporosis are best to avoid oxalates or cut back on them because "oxalates bind to calcium as they leave the body". Also a problem for kidney stones.
Problem is I love a lot of those foods. My daughters call me "Almond Mom" for being a bit of a health freak and eating yogurt and almonds every day. LOL
So, I have cut out kale and spinach, eating less beans. Less almonds. I might switch to walnuts if they are a better choice (more research needed). I LOVE almond butter, maybe I should switch to peanut butter or another nut butter.
Cutting back on grains is a work in progress as well.
To be continued....
Has anyone else found some nut and/or nut butter alternatives?
I should mention that I am seeing a naturopathic doctor in 3 weeks time. My MD has so very little time for me with 10 minute appointments and only allowed one health concern per visit! I will have 1.5 hours with the ND, pretty excited about that. It's my first time seeing a Naturopathic doctor, I'll ask for info on oxalates.
