Stage 3 Kidney Disease and Diet: What can I eat?

I've been asking for the past week if anyone has been told about eliminating oxalates from the diet. My extremely healthy-eating daughter (nurse) has for over 3 decades been on a mostly vegetarian diet, high in sweet potatoes, spinach, celery cleanses, etc. and is falling apart in unexplained pain. Her bladder doesn't work and she has constant pain in her groin. She has found information about oxalates causing kidney issues and a host of other problems. Sally Norton, a dietician and public health author of a new book on toxic foods has had personal experience on this and seems to be the main voice in getting information out. Generations of my family have had kidney problems from stones to complete failure. The medical community doesn't seem interested in this. Harvard has published a listing of high oxalate foods, but nobody goes further than blaming it for kidney stones. Anyone out there aware of this?

Has your daughter been checked for kidney and bladder stones? Oxalates do contribute to them. Perhaps her primary doctor can refer her to a urologist or nephrologist for tests and a dietitian for some help?
