To mitigate oxalates while eating, take 250mg of calcium or lemon/lemon juice along with the meal. I've recently learned this from a functional medicine doc.

That seems logical, and I'd love to be able to close the gap with a non-food Ca source (there's only so much yogurt a person can consume!). I know the non-food source of Ca isn't absorbed as readily as food-source Ca, but I'll take it.
My question has been whether the oxalates, phytates, legnins in beans and spinach bind to ALL the calcium in the rest of the meal or just a certain amount (in which case we top it off with part of a Citracal)?
And how can a "calcium-rich" food like spinach be called calcium-rich if it's got anti-nutrients that bind to its own (and other foods') calcium?
I'm glad you have a functional medicine doctor who is tuned into this issue.
