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 red delicious apple
Red Delicious is not as sugary as a Honeycrisp, yet it still lands high FODMAP because it pairs excess fructose with sorbitol, the polyol common to all apples. That fructose-and-sorbitol combination is what makes any apple a frequent IBS and SIBO trigger, and the thick-skinned Red Delicious is no exception even though it tastes milder and less crisp than the trendier varieties.
Watch for
- High in excess fructose, absorbed poorly once it outpaces the fruit glucose and left to ferment in the gut
- High in sorbitol, a laxative sugar alcohol that stacks on the fructose for bloating and loose stools
- A poor choice during a SIBO flare, since the fermentable sugars feed the overgrowth
- Salicylate content is only moderate, so the FODMAP load, not salicylates, is the story here
