Oxalates

Oxalates are a natural substance in many foods. They bind to calcium during digestion in the stomach and intestines and leave the body in stool. Oxalate that is not bound to calcium travels as a waste product from the blood to the kidneys where it leaves the body in the urine. There are many different types of kidney stones, but 8 out of 10 stones are calcium oxalate stones 5)

Kidney stone avoidance
  • Hydrate
  • Consume calcium, so that it binds to oxalates before reaching kidneys
  • Reduce protein?
  • Limit foods with oxalates
Foods with oxalates

  • Nuts, especially almonds
  • Beets

Foods

Cheese

What’s more, aged, hard cheeses are naturally low in lactose, making them easier to digest for people with lactose intolerance.

Dairy may have additional health benefits.

A recent study suggests it may lower the risk of heart disease (8Trusted Source).

Another study found that eating cheese daily was linked to a lower risk of metabolic syndrome, which raises your risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes (9Trusted Source). https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/15-calcium-rich-foods#section2
