[Bird of Prey]

One thing I forgot to mention...


Cranberry juice supposedly helps reduce the buildup of the oxalate. It's also supposed to help with urinary tract infections as well.
From what I've been told by my doc and from what I've read on the subject, it's the oxalate that's the problem not the calcium. I still get the daily requirement of calcium.

I should mention I've been on this low oxalate regimen for nine years. It took two for the stones that had already formed to work their way out of my system...and the last one was a monster.

Of course if you are one of the unlucky few that form stones of a different nature...well, let's just say I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on my worst enemy.
