Hi all,
I am told to avoid spinach and the other vegetables containing oxalic acid during pregnancy. Does any one know whether the oxalic acid containers can be used a half an hour or an hour before or after a food containing calcium?

No body got the same recomendation? please say some thing I don't know really what to eat!

I have never even heard of this. I thought spinach was urged during pregnancy. I will have to check this out.

NOOOO! what bogus! spinach is the best thing to eat (why do you think popeye gets super strenght when he eats spinach?!! ;)), next to mustard greens, collard greens, swiss chard - ANY green foods are exactly what we NEED during pregnancy! spinac and mustard greens are also high in folate, the natural equivalent to folic acid. see, i did my homework :) wishing you the best, estee

oh, did i mention red foods? beets, pomegranate, red apples, etc. does your blood real good. high in iron which stimulates the production of red blood cells. and taste soooo goooood! oh, i know beets are a mess, but always try to eat them fresh (like any vegetables and fruits) and leave the little tail and about one inch of the stems on the beet while boiling (do not peel until cooked either). keeps the vitamins in the beet. yummy, i'm craving beet salad!!!

Dear Estee thanks so much for your info. I didn't know about beets and can say never ate it the way you said. But about spinach I searched also the web and here is what I found:
