It’s ridiculous the amount of contradictory information available online. Just doing a simple search for low oxalate diets results in different opinions on what to pursue and avoid. I also can’t have dairy. I’ve been through the whole gamut of alternatives for just milk alone. We have to worry about lectins (there goes almond milk), oxalates, phthalates, and etc. It’s now very confusing to know what to eat. I have difficulty balancing my meds (carbidopa-levodopa and Clonazepam, Klor Con M20EQ) with supplement intake (Citracal w/D3, Vitamin K2, Magnesium, would like Vitamin C through food). You must separate by two hours. I’m popping pills all day long.
Also, protein and other foods interfere with the absorption of meds.
My main priority is attempting to get some relief w/cervical dystonia. My second priority is osteoporosis, which will not be treated w/the drugs available based on research, patient feedback, and doctors’ complete disconnect with what patients are enduring. We haven’t truly figure out these diseases and I’m just tired of being the guinea pig in the lab.
Forgive my attitude. I’m just a little frustrated by the entire process and want to live my life. I’m only. 66. Good gravy.

@pmhpesp5 I'm totally with you! I'm so confused. My doctor prescribed alendronate after my dexascan. After doing some research, I'm very wary of beginning to take it. I would rather do a food diet to combat the osteoporosis, but not educated enough about the pros and cons of the med to make a true decision. It's all so frustrating and sad to me.
