I spent over a decade searching for answers. Low oxalate eating gave them to me.

My Story

I was very sick for many years and doctors couldn’t determine the exact cause of the illness I was experiencing. I traveled around the country, to clinics and doctors in many different states and even in different countries. I tried protocols, diets, programs, medicines and supplements in search of anything that could help me.

By the time I tried a low oxalate diet, I had already tried the following diets: Candida Diet, Low Lectin Diet, Weston A. Price Diet, GAPS Diet, Vegan Diet, Paleo Diet, Keto Diet, Low Amylose Diet, Gluten-Free Diet, Casein-Free Diet, Light Diet. I ate sugar-free and caffeine-free. I cut out seed oils in 2015.

My health continued to go downhill and eventually became so bad that I had to stop working to focus on my health full-time.

This all changed very quickly when I started eating a low oxalate diet. Within a few weeks I, and everyone around me, saw a radical transformation in my body, energy and the health symptoms I had been experiencing for over a decade. My sleep improved, my skin improved, my digestion improved. The muscle pain I had been experiencing for years started to lift.

As I learned more and more about oxalates, I was shocked. I had thought I was doing all the right things with my diet. My favorite foods were dark chocolate, iced green tea and acai bowls. I thought these were superfoods. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I had been poisoning myself and working against my health goals by eating these foods daily.

To put it in perspective, my morning smoothie alone, packed with raw cacao, chia seeds, acai, green powder, and other superfoods I thought were healthy, came in at over 1,500 mg of oxalates. And that was just breakfast. I then ate what I thought was a healing, high-antioxidant raw chocolate as a snack, keto baked goods that I made with almond flour and many high oxalate vegetables in my meals.

As I learned which foods were safe to eat to limit oxalate intake, I developed recipes for me and my husband (he’s also on a low oxalate diet and has also seen huge improvements!). I love cooking and baking and we both love to eat.

I started developing my own recipes about 10 years ago. This came in handy as I tried all of the many diets I worked through. I learned how to do substitutions and how to achieve flavors and consistencies when the traditional ingredients are off limits. Being in the kitchen has always been fun for me. I have loved baking, especially, since I was a little girl and even worked in a bakery as a teenager.

I made this website because I wish I had had it years ago to guide me on my low oxalate journey. I want to help people who don’t know where to start with cutting down their oxalate intake and improving their health. The recipes are meant to encourage you and help show you that eating healthy and nourishing your body can taste good too.

I hope that you and your loved ones enjoy my recipes, that you find many things to help you on your low oxalate path, and that you always leave here feeling more informed and less overwhelmed.

In health,
