I keep hearing from friends that they have been told to stop eating a huge list of fruits and veggies because
of oxylates.
I did some research on PubMed and found these articles, none of which indicated oxalates are cause of vulvodynia, although one article indicated women dealing with this condition had higher urinary levels
of oxylates.
Not exact matches
There wasn't a component
of leaky gut and the lectins and the phytates and the
oxylates and the molecular mimicry and the autoimmune condition.
Dr. Justin Marchegiani: Yeah and it makes sense because things like a lot
of those foods are very high in phytates or
oxylates and a lot
of these mineral blockers and enzyme disruptors so that kinda make sense, that that — those soaking methods and I know, I think it's Sally Fallon's book, what is it?
If the cause is dietary, the friend suspects the
oxylates come from the heavy increase
of plant food in his diet, especially since the vegetables in his diet are known for creating
oxylates.
Rather, I was given a list
of high
oxylate foods to avoid or limit, most
of which are typically considered healthy vegetarian staples such as: most nuts, many beans and greens, sweet potatoes, soy, and so on.
Ironically, the factors which contribute to
oxylate crystal formation are opposite
of those which lead to struvite formation.
Types
of bladder stones include struvite, calcium
oxylate, urate, cystine, calcium phosphate, and silicate stones.
Other types
of crystals are less common and include calcium
oxylate and urate crystals.
Dietary therapy can dissolve struvite stones, but not those consisting
of calcium
oxylate.
