Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I recently planted some zucchini in my backyard and after eating them for a few days I developed a big flare. I have been watching my oxalates and couldn't understand why I had the flare. I looked up zucchini and learned that it is high in oxalates although information in the archives indicate that it is low. So I did some investigating and found that Oxalates lists published in 2003 show it as low oxalate but newer lists show it as high. I wonder how many other foods have new values. The Vulvar Pain Foundation has published a Cookbook #2 where they list foods containing oxalates and I think they have zucchini and yellow squash as being low oxalate. I have not purchased the book but wonder if they are being accurate. Their telephone number has been disconnected. The latest listing for oxalates in foods that I could find is at University of Pittsburgh and I have put it in a file which is attached. Or it can be accessed at: http://www.drmarc.co.uk/Patient_%20Information/Stones/Low%20Oxalate%20Diet.pdf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
