Hi Marcia, If someone was to start on the low Oxalate diet, what

foods do you think cause the most problems?

Hi: I just noticed this message. I'm not on

here all that frequently

but am sure greatful y'all are here! Anyway, for me the low oxalate

diet is ESSENTIAL. Any foods that are high oxalate flare me up badly!

I am in the midst of a major flare-up that started June 19th when I

accidentally made a bad food choice at a restaurant. One must REALLY

be careful when eating out. How could I NOT know there were

peppercorns in the sauce?! I thought it was just other herbs and

spices. In the middle of the night I went to pee and had horrific

burning, enough to put me in tears. At that point I realized what I

had done. Stupid, stupid Marcia!!!! I am better but nowhere NEAR as

well as I was before then.

Anyway, I ramble! For me, peppercorns are the worst followed by

(unfortunately), chocolate...the better the chocolate the worse the

flare. Cannot touch spinach nor oats. I really have to be careful but

I can definitely say that in my case (I have pudendal neuropathy), I

would not be able to function without being on a low oxalate diet.
