Oox – Gout and Kidney Stones

Dietary advice for gout or kidney stones is often conflicting, inaccurate or even completely outdated. Therefore we evaluated hundreds of scientific sources to put together the latest information available for these topics. The app provides you with sufficient information to make informed choices for healthier eating.

The app covers the following topics:

■ DIET AND GOUT
Usually, the method of choice is a dietary restriction of the purine intake. However, it is frequently overlooked that not all purines are equally problematic and that several other dietary factors play an important role.

■ LOW OXALATE DIET
Without proper instruction a low oxalate diet is very complicated to follow. However, most guidelines do not consider the bioavailability of oxalates. Besides, oxalates are only one factor that contributes to the formation of kidney stones.

You can use the app for free with a limited functionality. It doesn't require a registration and is free of ads. If you want more details, you can upgrade each topic with an in-app purchase that adds additional features and information.

Best app ever!

For those of us who have to struggle through life on a low purine diet, this app is a life saver! It’s information is so useful and the quantity of food evaluated is amazing, and so easily categorized. This really helps me to understand the food choices I need to make to keep my Gout at bay.

Needs an update

This is the best app I’ve found with info on oxalates, but there are many common foods missing (flour tortillas?!) and some conflicting information (see corn vs corn on the cob). Maybe it’s just my iPhone 6, but I also can’t view the visual charts because there’s no way to minimize the keyboard. Last thing I’ve noticed is there’s a vegetarian feature, but all it does is grays out the meat options rather than hiding them altogether. Not sure the point of that. Overall a decent way to look up nutrition information.

Knowledge that this app gives will prevent years of kidney problems for me
Stay far awayyy

I have been looking for books that do not exist that does with this app does -address uric acid in oxalates. However I would be glad to purchase the professional edition unfortunately there is one just for oxalates and another just for uric acid. If the designer could have put both of them together as this free version is -with happiness I will purchase the other however this is a fantastic App and a must have for anyone who wants control over their life and health.

Love this app but I want more

I love this app and use it daily to keep me in check with my gout issues but I wish they would add more foods. I find myself starring at some foods wondering if I should eat it.

Impressive

Was looking for a solid app addressing diet specifics for gout. Easy access to information, like the link to wikipedia. Also like the ability to add additional nutritional preferences ( like low carb , glycemic load etc). Well thought out and executed. Recommended.

So helpful!!

A gout diet is not like any other diet out there. It is SO helpful to be able to pull up any food I want and see how safe it is!!! Love this app!!

I couldn't live without this app

I am new to this world of leaky gut and healing. I also can't eat medium high amounts of oxalates and uric acid. I'm so appreciative of this app. It really has helped me on my journey to understand why I couldn't eat beans, almonds and so many foods! I just want to say thank you so much to the admin who created this app. You really have blessed my life on this journey of healing. Thank you so much! I would love to see a lectins app from you guys!!!
