About Oxalate Lookup
Oxalate Lookup puts multiple information sources at your fingertips to help you make an informed decision about which foods are safe to eat on a low oxalate diet.
Use this app if you or a loved one is having kidney stones or other kidney problems.
Keeping a low oxalate diet can prevent kidney stones. According to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, those on a low oxalate diet should limit oxalate intake to 40-50mg per day.
Unfortunately, it's hard to find out how much oxalate is in a given food. Often the only way to find out is to scan a PDF, Word document, or website, which is time-consuming and may not provide an answer.
Another problem is the variety of information sources. Many medical groups have studied oxalates, but they don't list the same foods, present them in the same way, or show the latest research.
So when you're cooking or shopping for a low oxalate diet, open Oxalate Lookup to quickly find out which foods are safe to eat.
** Please pay attention to serving sizes! While the oxalate level indicators ("Very low" to "Very high") are often accurate, it is important to compare oxalate content with serving sizes when deciding whether a food is safe to eat.

Having just had kidney stone issues, I was looking for some sanity in the craziness of a new life style. This app has been a God sent for helping teach me what I can make. Thank you to the developer. So wonderful! I know there is some missing foods but what is there is truly helping. Keep up the great work.

Use eith caution eg Carrots say low medium and high oxalates. It's can't be all 3 so it's a bit misleading but nice design app

Your app is not as bad as i thought. I like how you show your sources. Different sources have different info, that is why some think the figures are inconsistant. When two sources report different readings for a food, i go with the higher one until i find out differently, just to be on the safe side.

Helpful app. Simple, usable interface. The main concern is the consistency of the underlying data. Looking forward to updates as new research and data becomes available.

Just based on other research I've done, some of the foods don't have accurate amounts of oxalates listed. I'd like to use this app, but I'm uninstalling it because I can't fully trust all the numbers.

This app is very helpful. I like how the numbers are from 2014. It's fast when I'm in the grocery store and need to know if my husband can eat something.

Useful tool, but I am very concerned about the "standardized" rating scale. It conforms to no medically sound charts....only foods under 2 mg are considered low-oxalate and anything over 7 is considered high. This app calls traditionally high-oxalate foods moderate or even low!
