Yes, I do. Vegetables and nuts(almonds) high in oxalic acid cause me terrible abdominal pain.
A lady named Susan Owens used to have a yahoo forum about oxalates, geered mainly toward helping autistic children. I think the forum is no longer running but a lot of the information is still out there.
There also used to be a young lady named Emma with multiple plant chemical problems who ran a forum, but I haven't seen that lately, either. She said that both her and her mother became sensitive to plant chemicals ( salicylates, maybe glutamates, too) after having a bad flu or virus. I thought that was very interesting, espcially since autism brings with it a lot of symptoms of pathogenic origin. I would very frequently see people with Gulf Syndrome having symptoms similar to mine, too. I actually just looked up Emma and found some her blogs. She says a lot of people who think they have oxalate issues really just have amines and salicylate issues, FWIW. Might just add confusion, sorry.)
A type of green drink that is low in plant chemicals and provides a lot of good nutrients is chlorella. I'll have to verify this, but I think cucumber(peeled) and apple juice would be okay for someone with oxalate sensitivity.
There's not a whole of lot variety of plants when you are bothered by plant chemicals.
