I have read that lake and cucumbers are not high in oxylates.

I don’t believe cucumbers, blueberries and strawberries are high in oxylates. I use a list from the University of Chicago that has helped me go from stage 4 (GFR of 16) to stage 3b (GFR of 36). Best wishes.

From the info I was given, you need to also add carrots and chocolate to your list.
Be careful with what you eat. I lost a kidney due to a huge 7x11 stone that shredded my ureter tube when it tried to leave my kidney. I spent 9 months trying to save my kidney. But it had to be removed after all the trouble I went thru.
I was lucky enough to be able to see a wonderful Dr. at Mayo in Jacksonville FL. Cannot say enough wonderful things about Mayo Clinic. Had Cancer surgery a few years later at same Mayo Clinic. Totally different problem, nothing to do with kidneys . Dr and staff were so friendly and helpful. I recommend Mayo to everyone!

It is unbelievable how much information is out there, all of it so confusing and depressing. My grandparents used to grow almost all of fruits and veggies, they used to eat them and never had kidney stones, they lived through the late 90’s. One thing they didn’t do was smoking or drinking alcohol. They were very active. I have been eating amost everything mentioned on that list for years. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. Every 6 months I have a check up with my PCP. There’s going to be a point that people will be only taking pills, no food.
