Lamb's Quarter is high in oxalic acid and therefore should be avoided by those who suffer from or are at risk for kidney stones, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis and those whose stomach is easily irritated. Read my notes on oxalic acid for more information.

Since Lamb's Quarter is high in oxalic acid, you should also avoid combining Lamb's Quarter with other vegetables that are high in calcium, such as broccoli. Oxalic acid combines with calcium to create an indigestible compound.
