Low Oxalate Recipes

Low Oxalate Info features  low oxalate recipes that are family-friendly and gluten-free. Most are whole foods recipes with an emphasis on meat, veggies and fruits.  You will find a wide range of low oxalate recipes on LOI, however, because I hope to help as many low oxalate dieters as possible.  We come to the low oxalate diet from many different paths. Some follow a standard American diet. Others eat whole foods, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, SCD, GAPS, Paleo, low fat, low salicylate, vegan, traditional foods and more.  I try to honor all of my readers’ food choices, while staying true to my own beliefs about nutrition and the low oxalate diet.  Although I emphasize grain-free, whole foods cooking, you will find low oxalate recipes that include commercial products, such as salsa and Sunbutter.  You will also find recipes that include rice, corn and other gluten-free grains.  We are all busy people and busy people need convenience!  I especially like commercial products that are similar to what I would have made at home–if I just had the time!

Please note, I sometimes use commercial products that contain “less than ideal” ingredients because these are the products that have been tested for oxalate content.  I would follow a purely organic, whole foods diet free of toxins and highly-processed foods if possible, but I sometimes make compromises based on oxalate content. I believe a few  “less than ideal foods” may be better than cheating for most people, including myself.  Thankfully, I am slowly finding better alternatives for some of these products.  Also, many of these products can be left out or replaced if you choose not to make the same compromises I have.  For example, honey can replace liquid stevia, homemade sausage can replace commercial sausage, and homemade sunflower seed butter can replace Sunbutter.  Please let me know when you make a successful substitution, so I can share it with my readers!

Since many of my readers follow other diets besides the low oxalate diet, I try to provide a lot of variety on LOI.  Many of my low oxalate recipes are dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian, Paleo, traditional, low carbohydrate, GAPS-legal, Feingold-legal or SCD-legal.  If you type your diet (such as dairy-free) into my search engine it will bring up a number of choices.  Also, please note that some recipes may be okay for your diet, but are not tagged.  Please click on any recipe that interests you to see if that low oxalate recipe is okay for your diet or could be easily modified.
