For years, I ADORED spinach, but never understood why I would often get sick from it. I'm talking full blown food poisoning symptoms. It didn't always make me sick, but it was like a coin flip whether it would or not. So, for a long time, I figured I had bad luck with rotten or contaminated batches. But then, one day, went to the store, bought the freshest organic spinach there, went straight home, cooked it, and ate it. I didn't feel great that night, but the next day was sick all day in bed. That's when I figured I must have some sort of allergy to spinach. And when I looked it up, I finally learned about oxalates. And suddenly, it all made sense.

I began Keto for an autoimmune disease, PMR, and that got me off 15mg of Prednisone in 3 months, but I was also on methotrexate for my RA. Keto was helping with the RA, especially when I added a tin of sardines everyday, but progress was slow and I was only able to taper from 15mg to 12.5mg over 10 months. If I tried to taper too quickly I had terrible pain in my hands and wrists. In December of 2018 Dr. Berry uploaded a video announcing he was going to do carnivore, so December 26 I began Carnivore, and 30 days later I began tapering off methotrexate and was off in 2 weeks and was pain free. A week after I was off methotrexate I had a small Kale salad, and the following day had pain in my hands and wrists, Thinking this was just a coincidence I waited a week and had another salad, and the following day again had pain in my hands and wrists. I continued eating carnivore another couple of months before I tried another salad, this time with no problems. I now eat most meat with a little veg on the side. I can tell when I've eaten too many foods with oxalates, typically almonds because I begin to feel it in my hands. I feel my best when I eat just meat and eggs.

After years of terrible suffering, he quickly told us what the problem was. It was so simple that my husband became very angry at the medical community for not helping us sooner.

I’ve been on a gluten free/ low to very low oxalate diet for 6 yrs and it’s been life changing for me! I can definitely tell if I eat too many oxalates in a day since I have painful “dumping” symptoms. I strongly recommend slowly lowering oxalates over time to avoid pretty intense dumping symptoms than can occur. Lowering too quickly causes the body to “dump” stored oxalates in the body quickly leading to lots of issues. This can be helped by slowly lowering from a high oxalate diet to a low oxalate diet over time to allow the body time to adjust. Mineral support, especially Magnesium is also very helpful! While dumping stored oxalates is beneficial, too much too soon is not. Slow and steady is my strategy. Thank you Dr Berry for talking about oxalates.

In my case, oxalates appear to have caused kidney disease. I had a kidney biopsy in January 2024 that showed my kidneys have suffered permanent damage from penetration of oxalate crystals. The biopsy report describes the penetration as "moderate," so I'm hoping a lower oxalate diet will enable my kidneys to recover some function. Surprisingly, I have no kidney stones. But I wasn't eating much calcium, and have two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar every day (one in the morning, one in the evening.) The only food on your list of seven I had much of was almonds. I really liked almonds. People should know that tomato sauces, unfortunately, are also high in oxalates.

I've never had a kidney stone, however I had developed leaky gut which led to accumulation of calcium oxalate crystals in my joints and eyes. I had arthritis and intermittent eye pain/blurred vision for nearly a decade that I had attributed to a bad accident that had put me in ICU back in 2009. Injury sites and inflammation increase blood flow to the area in an attempt to heal but if oxalates are in the bloodstream they can gravitate to the area as well and prevent proper healing. 2 years into carnivore and those issues have completely resolved.

I am 61 years old, and previously had been vegetarian for the past 31 years, mainly vegan the past 6 years, and I had been consuming all those foods Dr. Berry listed, in abundant amounts, along with many other fairly high-oxalate foods and spices. I have never had a kidney stone, but a recent scan showed degenerative changes in my kidneys (pelviectasis), as well as multiple thyroid nodules (so I will now avoid CT scans with iodine-contrast dye because of my thyroid issues). I also have arthritis in numerous places, especially my hands, which have numerous bone spurs at the joints. I have been researching oxalates in the diet for the past few weeks, and I think I may be onto something... Medical literature always says that the causes of these things are unknown or "normal ageing" (wear and tear). But my "healthy diet" wasn't keeping me healthy, so I am definitely making some changes because I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet! A word of caution for other people like me who have been heavy oxalate-eaters - I believe I should taper my oxalate consumption, and not quit abruptly, as Dr. Berry suggests in the video, because my body may try to eliminate too much oxalate at one time, and I want to avoid feeling sick from "oxalate dumping"...

You have just solved a very worrying mystery for me.

But I started getting very very stiff legs and back....it was agony at times, couldn't stand up straight sometimes, didn't go to the doctor but went to my osteopath and he helped quite a lot but it was still there. Anyway I thought I must have some sort of virus that attacks the muscles. Meanwhile after a couple of months I got fed up with the spinach and stopped eating it. Around the same time all the stiffness began to fade away. Never in a million years would I have put the two things together!! What a relief to finally understand what happened.

@@DarthNoshitam No need for any more than that and when we are oxalate poisoned, we are very sensitive to high doses of any vitamin or supplement. It’s best to get the rest from your foods. (Oxalate free foods, of course) Also, avoid supplementing vitamin C as that can exacerbate the issue and even encourage endogenous production of oxalates in some folks.

It's all relative. You may be able to get away with eating food containing oxalates but why would you want to take the chance. It doesn't mean your body isn't affected at all. It still has to use precious body resources to deal with any level of oxalate that is better used for other detox purposes.

Gout-like pain in my feet, stiff and painful joints in my 4th and 5th fingers, sharp vulvar pain (which feels much like you have a large paper cut, but you don't), and my first and only episode of "restless leg syndrome" hit me all at once about 10 days into a 2-week Hawaiian vacation. We had stocked up on mixed nuts (lots of almonds and peanuts) and dark chocolate in our hotel room and had enjoyed many trips to a cool kombucha place nearby. Plus we had eaten a lot more popcorn and salads with spinach and beets than we normally do while there. This was the perfect storm for my physiology, apparently. Months later I had a relapse of the gout and joint pain from 'P.B. Fit' peanut butter powder, which resolved as soon as I finished my jar of it. (p.s. the Hawaiian dish Poke is pronounced "POH-kay")

I am 67 it took me years to show symptoms. She’s also a frequent guest on carnivore KZfaq sites just search for Norton oxalates and pay attention. I also had the vaginal pains and white crystals that inflamed the inside of my nose like a boil. Oxalates are used to make Zud and Bar Keepers Helper super cleansers, strictly poison.
