Heidi, I found the information you provided most helpful. However, I’m a little disappointed that your info is not available to other email carriers i.e. AOL, hotmail. Gmail, etc. I have a hotmail and a gmail account. I tried entering my gmail to join, as it said I could. However, it said my Google (gmail) acct. was not connected to Yahoo. I just can’t manage a 3rd email account. Is there anything being done to include the rest of us who are in need of low Oxalate information?

Hi, Kristie. Yum! That sounds fabulous. I love Alton Brown’s recipes. He rocks. Yes, that would probably end up being low or lower medium oxalate, depending on your serving size. I did a rough estimate at 40 mg. oxalate for the entire recipe using the oxalate values for dried herbs. You would divide that by serving size (so about 5 mg. oxalate per serving if this makes 8 servings) Black pepper and nutmeg are medium oxalate. If you substituted freshly ground white pepper for half of the black pepper (or all), and mace for the nutmeg it would decrease the oxalate content of the entire recipe by 12 mg. oxalate and get you into the low oxalate range for sure (You would lower it by 19 mg. if you substitute out all of the black pepper). Hmmm. Maybe I’ll try that myself this week and see how it goes. It does sound yummy! If it turns out well, I’ll post the modified recipe.

Do you have suggestions for making a country breakfast sausage? Here is a recipe from food network that has 5 stars. (I don’t know if it is southern breakfast sausage or not :)) I would probably just use the spices and add it to ground meat. 2 pounds pork butt (2 1/2 pounds with bone), diced into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 pound fat back, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Would that qualify as low oxalate?

Thanks. I didn’t realize I was on Yahoo News, so sorry. No pointers here.

Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in
Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
Cheers

Hi, Andrew. Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, most doctors lists of high oxalate foods were written ten, twenty or even thirty years ago. They are hopelessly outdated and often misleading in that they don't consider portion size - just oxalate per 100 grams of the item. All of the oxalate values on this site come from the master list kept by the Autism Oxalate Project and were the most up-to-date value available at the date the post was published. This master list contains all the up-to-date testing by the latest testing methods in Dr. Michael Liebman's lab, a food nutritionist at the University of Wyoming. You may get your own copy of this list by joining the Trying Low Oxalates Yahoo Group or the Trying Low Oxalates Facebook group (ask someone from the Facebook group to send it to you.) I can't publish the list on my website because it contains copyrighted material but it is free to anyone who wants it. (See How to Get a Low Oxlaate Food List). So good news. You can eat all of the foods you mentioned. Blue berries are low oxalate at about 4 mg. oxalate per half cup. Broccoli Rabe (rapini) is low oxalate at about 2.7 mg. per half cup raw. Kale depends a lot on how its cooked and what variety you are using. The lowest is boiled Dino Kale with the cooking water discarded at 1.8 mg. per half cup.

Banana-Blueberry Shake. Blueberries are a high oxalate berry. How come this is listed as a low oxalate food. My doctor also told me to be weary of Kale and Broccolli rabe- how do I reconcile this with what is on the web site.

Welcome, Kimora.
We all have that initial groan of exasperation when we learn so many of the foods we were eating for our health weren’t actually healthy for our bodies. Hope you find a lot of good ideas here to help you get started. Let me know if there’s any type of recipe you’re looking for.
