@@jn2400 Did you ever hear, that people have their right to misery? The older I get the more I think this is true. To give advice, unasked, about diet or medical decisions is almost always not appreciated. If someone asks you, then tell them. Even then it is almost never the case, that they will try out your idea. If people do not ask for advice, do not give it. Everyone needs to get insight for themselves, we are different, luckily. Often medication/diet/herbs that help one person is definitively not helpful for another person, so I think it is a just principle, that everybody needs to find out for themselves. If you withhold information when someone is searching and asking you, that is disgusting. Nevertheless to give the precious information to people, who maybe do not have an issue or are totally not open for it, because something else is more important in their lives at the moment is like giving pearls to swine, no sane person would do it.

I needed this. I wish I could eat a carnivore diet but bacon just triggered my oxalate reaction. I'd been doing ok with grains but my body eventually rebels with them. I do ok with a plant based nutritional regiment I have found to be safe. I have read that blood type can affect being able to eat meat. I'm A. Omega fatty acids seem to help me purge oxalates also. The common denominator between all of my allergies is oxalates. My mom presented as neuro divergent and my grandmother. I get super aggressive when I get oxalate overload. I always thought I was a sociopath because of these issues. Now I know better. Thank you though. I'd just been thinking last night that I needed to figure out how to get them out of my system faster. The mg of the vitamins was something I needed. For anyone who may need help this is my daily nutritional intake. I do about 6-8 servings of Orgain organic protein powder, a couple of cups of the organic morning blend from CostCo with about a cup of the organic 4 berry blend, a liter of their organic coconut water. A can of salmon (usually. I haven't lately) with lemon pepper and some basil. My vitamins are magnesium glycinate 100mg, vitamin D3 2-4k IU, B12 5k mcg, b1 300-500pmg a day, 35mg of zinc, about 150mcg of a potassium iodine/iodide supplement and up to 10mg of boron.

I had so many health issues I couldn't count them all. I was so weak after years it was a miracle when I found out about carnivore eating. Good luck. And yes I'm 100% sure of my blood type. I also believe the author of the book when he explains how he came up with his thoughts. Thing is... A glass slide is not the same as the inside of our bodies. Whatever clotting that happened on that side mixing A blood with beef protein CLEARLY is undone by some other bodily function as I went only beef for 90 days and have never felt better after that. I struggle with addiction to these plants and grains but I keep pushing towards eating a heavily animal based diet.

[@davidfrye7713]

You would be fine and most likely better (as everyone would) on a carnivore diet. The key is transitioning slowly to allow your gut & mouth microbiome to adapt & also allow slower oxalate dumping. The healthiest meats are from fatty ruminant animals (cattle, lamb, goats, deer, etc.). Beef is the easiest to find that has a high enough fat source. Genetics will play a role into how much fruits and vegetables we can eat as long as we are also out in the sun or in the cold depending upon your Haplogroup or genetics of your mitochondria. Fatty ruminant meat is the least inflammatory due to a number of reasons including how ketones vs glucose are processed by the mitochondria. Humans should never eat a single carbohydrate unless they are out in the sun or cold a large amount of time depending upon the Haplogroup of their mitochondria. And, even then, it should not be a significant portion of their diet.

Thirties, numbness in fingers, symptoms of celiac disease. Went on a gluten free diet and things improved dramatically, but the psoriasis never fully cleared.🤔 Anyway, at the start of 2023 started to get peripheral neuropathy after a particularly stressful period. Luckily for me by April 2023 I had discovered sally k Norton, and realised what the problem was. I’ve been gradually poisoning my self 🤦🏻‍♂️. Peanut butter. Whole grains. Plant based milks. Nuts and seeds. Sweet potato and beets. Turmeric and cumin. Spinach, to name just a few of the culprits. 13 months on low oxalate and no more psoriasis or peripheral neuropathy.

[@nichill7474]

High oxalates are also found in herbs and spices such as Cinnamon, Tumeric, black pepper, fennel seed, cumin seed, all spice. I like all these spices and used them but in limited quantities. Drink lots of lemon water, apple cider vinegar and supplement with magnesium, zinc and a probiotic. That would be my recommendation. It works for me.

[@f.k.6151]

Exactly - and mostly because not every two "bodies" are made equal. The human body is extremely complex, and genetics play a major factor on how the body responds to the world. It is important to know about oxalates, lectins, etc., but in the end if we don't have issues like kidney stones, we should just live with the awareness of them. If we fine-tune our nutrition based on anything and everything that we find on KZbin we are potentially causing problems somewhere else. Listen to the body. The other consideration is that for every "eat this" video there are many "don't eat this" videos as well. Eat clean, eat whole, be active, sleep well, and know your body. @@philautiaetdiligoalii4089

It's called "discernment". Some people have it. Some people don't. For people without the ability to truly think for themselves, any amount of investigation seems like an impossible task. They may even call it obsessive. It's deflection... drawing attention away from the fact that they lack the ability to know when they've been misled.

My FIL has had ongoing problems with kidney stones over the years but won’t access suggestions for his diet. He recently was diagnosed with gout and he was dehydrated. We have constantly reminded him to drink more as he doesn’t want another hospitalization and surgery but he enjoys the attention when he has problems. If people want to continue their behavior that causes problems, I really don’t want to keep having conversations about it. One blood test showed elevated oxalates and when I explained that he was at risk for more problems, he obviously couldn’t be bothered to drink fluids. I had a calcium oxalate stone in my salivary gland when I was a teenager and decades later, I still watch what foods to limit.

Thank you. Last year around this time I was slowly removing oxalates from my diet, or so I thought. I think it was the eventual dumping that resulted in my chronic illness. Prior to that I was a regular consumer of green smoothies, nuts , BIG TIME black tea drinker, loved peanuts and vegetables thinking it was healthy. Meanwhile my friends were eating mostly processed foods. When I was diagnosed they were shocked.

I suffered with interstitial cystitis and fibromyalgia for decades. I was put on macrodantin for 3 consecutive months which probable wiped out the Oxalobacter formigenes bacteria that is capable of breaking down some of the oxalates. I also had knee pain and trigger fingers. When I went on keto, I was eating one or 2 almond flour biscuits every day. Before keto, I drank almond milk and black tea. I had sweet potatoes, spinach, and dark chocolate daily. I was clueless.... As soon as I went low oxalate, all of these went away escept for slight stiffness in my fingers and eye irritation/eyelid cysts when on a dumping cycle.

How can you measure/weigh 50 milligrams of oxalates? How can anyone tell a certain vegetable has a given amount of oxalates? These health videos are getting really goofy. People say eat your vegetables don’t eat meat another says completely the opposite. People say never supplement with calcium others say the opposite. What good is any of this information. If you watch a video they will say your misinformed, if you miss a video they will say your uninformed.

What we really need to do is listen to our bodies. The body tells the truth of our experience and the people making these videos only know the truth of their experience. Not to say that there aren't golden nuggets here and there, but I'm learning to trust and listen to my own body and intuition.

[@davevarga]

There are lists of oxalate content of veggies, nuts, fruit that you can find from reputable sources on the internet. Usually they list the oxalate content per 1/2 cup or 100 grams. Yeah Spinach is CRAZY high in oxalates. Sweet potatoes have some in them but if you boil them, the oxalates reduce somewhat. Right at this very moment my skin itches in back of my knees from oxalates. Best...

Your body can only eliminate them at a certain rate through the kidneys. (And through mineral binding in the gut which of course reduces the available minerals from your food) If you consume (+ what you produce naturally) more than your body can eliminate then they get stored causing health issues over time, until you go on a low oxalate diet allowing your body to eliminate what's stored. Additionally Oxalates are highly acidic (pH 2.0 roughly). Fun fact Oxalic Acid is use as rust remover
