@sharonfranks1119 I will be interested to hear what your nephrologist has to say when the test results are in!

Here is a link from the National Kidney Foundation about calcium oxalate atones. Quite a bit of interesting information here, and I hope you can find some things to help you. Perhaps you can educate yourself and be prepared to ask specific questions when you see your doctor in a few weeks?

Ginger, I'm so glad to see you posting about oxalates. I've remarked several times on the site about this issue with no responses. My nurse daughter has been mostly vegetarian since her college days, so 38 years of "healthy" eating along with regular gym visits. For the past 5 years she has been going downhill with unfunctioning bladder issues along with increasing muscle agonies; she feels like she's going to die. Her husband recently happened onto a blog about the Carnivore Diet, and much of it consisted of the poisoning so many people are getting from so many veggies, nuts and seeds. I wish everyone with difficult to diagnose health issues would check out Sally Norton and Oxalate toxicity.
