What to know about almonds
Are almonds high in oxalate? Yes, and that is the headline. Almonds are one of the most oxalate-rich foods around, so they are often the first thing a kidney-stone clinic tells you to cut back. They are also high in nickel, high in salicylates and a high-FODMAP nut by the handful, which means almond flour baking and a daily glass of almond milk can quietly stack triggers even though the nut itself is gluten-free and only mildly histamine-active.
Watch for
- Very high in oxalate, a leading dietary driver of calcium-oxalate kidney stones.Almond flour concentrates it because a single cup uses dozens of nuts
- High in nickel, a common flare food for people with systemic nickel allergy
- High in salicylates, worth noting if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
- High FODMAP in a generous handful, so a large serving can bloat a sensitive gut
- A tree nut, so off the table with a tree-nut allergy or nut-triggered EoE
