Dietary advice for gout or kidney stones is often conflicting, inaccurate or even completely outdated. Our app OxiPur contains only the most recent information available on these topics. We analyzed hundreds of scientific studies and summarized the results in helpful notes.
Additionally, you can use the app to create and evaluate your own recipes or track your daily intake with the food diary. You won't find any other resource that offers such a wealth of information in one place. Our app is the perfect tool to improve your eating habits and get your health back!
OxiPur covers the following topics:
■ Diet and Gout
Even today, the main treatment of gout still focuses too much on avoiding purines, although they are only part of the problem. Our app uses a wider approach and includes additional important factors like alcohol, fructose, and sodium. You can also combine different dietary profiles (e.g. low glycemic index) as needed.
■ Low Oxalate Diet
Without proper instruction a low oxalate diet is very complicated to follow. Our app knows the oxalate content of about a thousand foods and helps you plan your meals. It also considers the bioavailability of oxalates as well as other factors that play a role in renal problems like 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, there are two separate one-time in-app purchases that upgrade each topic with additional features and information.

I bought this today and quickly saw that the app organizes the foods and classifies their effects on gout (uric acid) & kidney stones (oxalates) very clearly.If you suffer from these like me, you will want to pay to enable the Pro versions, which gives you the detailed impacts of the foods. You can open the gout pro and/or kidney stone pro levels separately, each for ~$10. I bought both since I suffer from both occasionally. I found $20 a small price to pay for having such a valuable resource at my fingertips in my pocket! You might feel differently, but the developer definitely did the homework for us - no more google searches for good & bad foods! 😁
Lacking food data

I paid for the Oxalate program based on reviews I had read. I knew the weight measurements would be off based on the reviews. It’s not super user friendly with the measurements. The most disappointing thing about the app is the lack of food options listed. Given the amount of data out there with the most basic free apps, this one is missing many things that are common. It could be because it’s a US thing, I’m not sure, but I feel like some basic foods that are good for a low oxalate diet, should be there. For example, there’s yogurt, only like one option and doesn’t match what’s available in stores. Also i feel things like Ceasar salad or even just ranch dressing, should be part of the app as basics. It’s just missing too much to really be helpful. I do like the layout, I like the options to focus the diet & information breakdown. But it doesn’t feel like it covers what they intend to cover as an app for this type of specific information
OUTSTANDING APP ✔️

I often have gout attacks that last up to 4 weeks as well as Kidney disease. I am disciplined enough to eat right. The problem is i like a huge variety foods and it’s very difficult to conveniently get the information quickly. Not only is this APP quick, it’s also concise. Everything about the food item im looking up on one page rather than going back & fourth. This app works especially nice for me considering i’m on not only a Gout diet but also a strict Kidney & Cardio diet. I have downloaded and purchased almost all the other APPs pertaining to this and nothing compares. The BEST by far. Thank you,John C
Could be very useful

This could be a great app. I’ve found it useful for keeping track of daily oxalate count. BUT, I’ve also found that it conflicts quite often with the Harvard Study, which has long been the gold standard relative to oxalates in food. The other thing that is really maddening is that the only units available are ounces, or grams. It would really be helpful if the unit choices included things like fluid ounces and cups. Many foods are listed relative to the quantities, not weight, but this app requires the conversion to properly determine oxalate values. It’s really not that convenient to use, but proves more comprehensive information (though some of it appears to be incorrect) than any other source. I would like to know the sources for some of the information.
• We've further improved our new barcode scanner search function.
• Many new food items have been added to our database, especially various snacks and sweets.
• The update contains numerous detail improvements.
We really hope that you like the new version! By the way, if you want to support us, we would be very happy about a review in the App Store!
