hi all. I have had a pretty hard time trying to stick to a special diet the past few years, but finally arrived at a routine I could live with: a giant spinach or field greens salad, carrot soup, stir fry veggies with rice, gluten free flatbread wraps, a lot of nuts, and some cheats here and there.
well now, I am reading that this diet is very high in oxalates which can cause kidney stones. also, people with leaky gut (like me) could be missing the bacteria that digests the oxalates, resulting in the oxalates leaking into the bloodstream and causing diseases.
now I don't know what on earth to do. the salads and carrots and stuff were the only organic foods that were affordable for me, available at most stores, and easy to prepare...but now I wonder if I am harming myself everyday, thinking I am eating well! ugh
