Fad diet of nuts leaves woman with rare kidney injury
Knocking back handfuls of almonds and chia seeds each day as an IBS treatment left one woman with an acute kidney injury, according to a rare case report from the US.
While the nuts and seeds provided welcome relief for IBS, their high oxalate levels also caused oxalate nephrology, a rare form of kidney injury, say doctors from the George Washington University school of medicine and health sciences, in Washington DC.
