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
