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.

Because of my rare defects plus health issues like 3rd stage kidney disease, I’m on an extremely limited diet. I must monitor eight things that are a no-no, and because of that my meals are difficult to make. So as the saying goes “I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t.” The whole problem for me is this, the things you mentioned are good for one health issue I have and bad for another, So how do I chose, I don’t. I go by how the food reacts to both health issues and chose by what it does, help or hurt the most critical of the two health issue involved. Such as bowel vs kidneys or say kidneys vs heart or heart vs brain. That’s the method I use and sometimes I simply give up and place the food on my DNE list, do not eat. By the way, my kidneys have gone from 37 to 51 over the last six months. Hope this helps, just keep track of your numbers to see if things get better or worse and you’ll have your answer. Good luck.
