Low Oxalate Diet
by Biopractica
A low oxalate diet involves reducing the intake of foods high in oxalates, a naturally occurring substance found in plant-based foods. Beneficial for individuals prone to kidney stones, as oxalates can contribute to their formation. Oxalates can bind with calcium in the kidneys, forming crystals that can lead to kidney stones. By limiting oxalate consumption, individuals can potentially reduce their risk of developing kidney stones or experiencing recurrent episodes.
Benefits
- Reduced risk of kidney stones
- Improved mineral absorption: Oxalates can bind with certain minerals like calcium and magnesium, hindering their absorption.
- Potential relief for conditions like vulvodynia (chronic vulvar pain) and autism spectrum disorder.
