Oxalates are naturally occurring compounds found in many plant-based foods. For some people, they can cause digestive issues like bloating, gas, or even kidney stones. If you’re dealing with symptoms like these, it could be due to oxalate sensitivity.
💚 Balance Your Diet: Include lower-oxalate foods like cucumbers, cauliflower, and zucchini, while reducing high-oxalate foods such as spinach, Swiss chard, rhubarb, sweet potatoes, almonds, and soy products like tofu.
💚 Soak and Cook Foods: Soaking and cooking high-oxalate foods can reduce oxalate levels and make them easier on the gut.
💚 Increase Calcium Intake: Calcium binds to oxalates and helps prevent their absorption, so include calcium-rich foods like leafy greens, tofu, and dairy.
💚 Support Gut Health: Probiotics and digestive enzymes can help break down oxalates in the gut, promoting better digestion and absorption.
Managing oxalate sensitivity involves understanding what triggers symptoms and making simple dietary adjustments. If you suspect oxalate sensitivity or want to learn more about how it’s affecting your health, book a testing and consultation today!
