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 raspberry
Raspberries look innocent but they stack three separate triggers: they are high in salicylates, very high in oxalates and moderate in FODMAPs, which is why searches like "are raspberries high oxalate" and "do raspberries cause itching or reflux" keep coming up. The upside is that in a small serving they stay lower in FODMAPs than most berries, so a spoonful is often tolerated even when a full bowl is not.
Watch for
- Very high in oxalates, the standout trigger here, a concern if you are prone to kidney stones or follow a low-oxalate diet
- High in salicylates, so raspberries can drive itching, hives or reflux in people who react to aspirin-type foods
- Moderate FODMAP: small servings are usually fine but a large bowl brings enough polyols to unsettle a sensitive gut
- Mildly higher in histamine and tyramine than most fresh fruit, worth noting if amines are your issue
