Low Oxalate Diet Benefits
As a nutritionist, I often recommend a low-oxalate diet to clients with specific health issues related to oxalate accumulation.
Oxalates are natural compounds found in many foods, and managing their intake can be beneficial for various reasons. Here are some benefits I have seen.
1. Prevention of Kidney Stones: A significant benefit of reducing oxalate intake is the prevention of kidney stones, especially calcium oxalate stones.
Oxalates can combine with calcium in the urine, forming stones.
By decreasing oxalate in your diet, you can reduce the risk of these stones developing.
2. Reduction in Kidney Stone Recurrence: You know the pain is real for those who have experienced kidney stones; minimizing oxalate consumption and working on gut health is important to heal.
3. Management of Primary Hyperoxaluria: A low oxalate diet is crucial in cases of primary hyperoxaluria—a rare genetic disorder that results in excessive oxalate production by the liver. It helps manage and reduce the body’s oxalate levels, aiding in symptom control. Also taking time to cleanse and support the liver can be beneficial to get to root causation.
4. Potential Relief for Vulvodynia: Research suggests that a low-oxalate diet could alleviate symptoms of vulvodynia, a chronic pain condition affecting the vulvar area. The thought is that oxalates may irritate sensitive skin and mucous membranes, although further studies are needed to understand this relationship fully. Focus on marshmallow root, slippery elm and cornsilk herbal teas can be beneficial here.
5. Improved Gut Health: High levels of oxalate in the diet may lead to the formation of crystals in the gastrointestinal tract, which can cause irritation and discomfort. Reducing dietary oxalate can help alleviate these digestive issues for some individuals but deeper down we must repair the gut with a whole lifestyle approach.
6. Support for People with Oxalate Sensitivity: Although oxalate sensitivity is not widely recognized, some people report symptoms such as joint pain, urinary tract discomfort, and other health issues linked to high oxalate intake. A low oxalate diet can be beneficial in managing and reducing these symptoms.
7. Interstitial Cystitis: Although this is not confirmed by medical research I have noticed many people with this condition benefit from a low oxalate diet.
