Sensitivity notes
Why oxalates food checker matters
Oxalates are compounds found in many plant foods that can bind with calcium to form crystals. High oxalate intake may contribute to kidney stones in susceptible individuals and can cause other symptoms in those with oxalate sensitivity.
- Stay well-hydrated to help prevent oxalate crystal formation
- Pair high-oxalate foods with calcium-rich foods to bind oxalates
- Cooking and boiling can reduce oxalate content in some foods
- Spread oxalate intake throughout the day rather than one large dose
- Consider probiotics - some gut bacteria break down oxalates

What to know about celery stalk
A single celery stalk is where the low-FODMAP maths gets strict: Monash puts the safe limit at roughly half a stalk, because celery is very high in mannitol, a sugar alcohol. That matters most for the celery-juice trend, where several stalks are blended into one glass and the polyol load stacks fast. It is also poorly suited to a SIBO approach for the same reason, even though the stalk is otherwise a clean, non-reactive food.
Watch for
- Very high in mannitol per stalk, so about half a stalk is the low-FODMAP cutoff and a whole one is already over
- Celery juice concentrates several stalks into one serving, multiplying the polyol load well past a comfortable amount
- Rated poorly for SIBO because the fermentable mannitol feeds the exact bacteria a SIBO plan tries to starve
- Only borderline for salicylates, oxalates and nickel, so those are minor next to the polyol
