Low-Oxalate Diet and Sample Diet Menu


A low-oxalate diet is often recommended to people particularly if they are prone to kidney stones. Low-oxalate diets typically provide 40-50 milligrams of oxalates in a day. In this diet, there are some other important factors as well as limiting your oxalate intake such as drinking plenty of water, moderating protein intake, and increasing calcium intake. It is recommended to follow a low-oxalate diet for 3 to 6 weeks to see the benefits.
