    This is a reprint of a post on the LOD board. We have been talking a lot about vitamin D, with many people taking between 4,000 and 10,000 IU D3 with really amazing results. We have been taking D3 as well for awhile now. I am on the Low Oxalate Diet with great results, as is my son. He tested low for vitamin D, even though he spends GREAT amounts of...

    Hi all, Susan Owens has put up a website for the oxalate project, www.lowoxalate.info I have not really looked it over yet, but it is supposed to be more accessible and user-friendly for the beginners, and also should present information in a better manner. The forum had become pretty cumbersome for a number of reasons. Too much chatter there to...

    Hi, The dumping symptoms seem to be a worsening or reappearance of problems that you have that are caused by oxalate. In my case, I had kidney and I think yeast issues. For years, I would get sick just unexplainably, but the flag that I was getting sick was that I would get back pain, a very puffy face, have to get up to urinate in the night, and feel...

    Ooooohh! I'd love to know. Also, I had always heard about cooking things well to neutralize oxalates; this apparently doesn't do the trick. I've never heard of the liquid...maybe it would work on other things as well. Amanda

    Here's the link for the cookbook--for $27.00. Open Original Shared Link Amanda

    I mentioned Dr. Semon's "Feast Without Yeast" diet, and how it had helped depression. I didn't tell you why, though. When I began the low oxalate diet, and it was so restricted, I had a hard time changing over. So I plunked down and started combing cookbooks for gluten-free/cf soy-free, corn-free recipes that were low oxalate too. And I had a eureka!...

    Hi all, My goodness! I don't check this thread for two days and you all have added two pages!! NOOO--the book should NOT be $50! It is less than $30, I think, directly from the VP Foundation. You can also order it from Wellness Pharmacy, I think, in Alabama. I will look up phone numbers and addresses to post today. I can't imagine where the...

    Oh, let me add quickly.. If you are eating a LOT of the high oxalate foods, you probably have an oxalate problem. We ate spinach daily (yikes!) and baked with almond flour for the SCD before going on the diet. If you start the LOD and get sick, that is a good sign. A "positive negative," Susan Owens says. It shows you're dumping toxins. There...

    Hi, Well, the specifics on the vitamin C issue are a bit out of my league. This will be the "autism mom" talking here! The autism doctors are very big on high-dose C. Susan Owens, the researcher who is leading the oxalate project, insists that, because C converts to oxalate, one should not take any additional beyond what's in the diet. And that view...

    Matilda, No!! The missing pages you mentioned are MOST of the food listing!! You should call the VP Foundation--they'll send another for you. Or did you get it on Amazon? Was it used? It sounds like someone took the food listing out and sold the rest of the book..... You feel better on rice and potatoes rather than the SCD??!! That was US!! I...

    Judy in Philly, I think you got an old book. The newer one is called, "Volume 2." It has good, updated testing of products. I know that the recipes are not gluten-free/cf, but I was able to modify many, and there are a few that worked right out of the box. We cannot use any vinegar (mold-free diet) and that was actually the bigger problem for us! ...

    Hi all, I am looking forward to finding recipes here too!! I only have a few minutes, but wanted to comment on the dumping cycles. When we first started the diet, my whole family got "sick." I got very sick--as I often did at the time--with a looming kidney infection, and felt like I had the flu. I was sick for almost three weeks. My husband got...

    Hi, I'm new here, and have come over from the low oxalate group. I have been gluten and casein-free for about five years now, and on the low oxalate diet for over a year. I began the diet for my autistic son, but it has changed my life as well. I thought that maybe some of you might like a perspective from an adult on the diet. Also, I began the diet before...
