Is spaghetti with marinara high in oxalate?
D
Yes. High, 40 mg per 1 plate
Range 27 to 52 mg across the studies behind each ingredient
One serving of spaghetti with marinara (1 plate) has about 40 mg of oxalate, 80% of the 50 mg a day many stone clinics aim for. Pasta carries 75% of it.
If your doctor has put you on a low-oxalate diet, have it with something high in calcium, like milk, yogurt or cheese. Calcium in the same meal binds oxalate in the gut, so less of it reaches your urine.
