I had to get a new nephrologist because my other one left practice. My new one is rather crabby and told me I'd better get with the program relative to a good-for-the-kidney diet. So, I went on-line and started researching. Not much info was available on oxsalates in food and what to eat. But I did pull out a few lists -- with numerous contradictions among them.
(You'll recognize my pal, Toby, in the phot0.)
So, last time I saw Dr. Crabby, I asked for a referral to a nutritionist top help me out. Yesterday was my appointment. I spent $70 and 2 hours of my time to have this woman mumble around and read my own lists to me! I knew I was in trouble when I walked in and she said, "Hi, what is it you're here for?" She was obviously unprepared, had only a minimal understanding of my calcium-oxsalate situation, and nothing to offer.
We are cautioned not to rely too much on the internet for medical expertise, but sometimes it's the best option!
