Oxalate Dumping

[Michael Joseph]

Hi Dr Woeller,

I have heard of Oxalate dumping before, and seen some examples, but I never really experienced it clinically or seen it displayed in testing, until now.

I have a patient who did an OAT in May of 2018, and it showed high levels of Oxalate, with high levels of yeast markers, and high arabinose. So, we followed all the bay-the-book low oxalate protocols, and BOOM, we have a big change on the most recent OAT.

Nearly all of the yeast markers are down, Arabinose is now within range (Tartaric went up and out of range but not by much), and even her vitamin C levels are within range. NAC levels are no longer low, and Glutathione levels are now normalized. BUT her Oxalate and Glycolic levels went up, and I am almost 100% sure that she had a ton of this stuff stored in tissue and it is being released. The levels nearly doubled. Lactic acid even dropped to normal levels. (I have her taking additional p-5-p as well)

So, have you seen this before? I am kinda blown away because I never expected to see dumping of oxalate this pronounced or this obvious, so I am not sure what to make of it. The last class kind of confirmed this for me when you said that high glycolic + high oxalate could be due to an endogenous source.

What do you think? (This is the patient I have been speaking about)

Michael,
Oxalate levels will definitely go up with dumping. Because we are testing randomly you may catch a high oxalate at times with dumping when repeating the OAT.

Is she having symptoms of dumping, e.g. urinary pain/discomfort, urinary urgency?

Dr Woeller,

She doesn’t have any reported urinary issues, but since this has progressed, she has experienced more fatigue than normal. But that could be a number of things causing that.

Her cortisol numbers have improved considerably, though…so I think her increased fatigue could be related to the oxalate detox.

I have a really interesting bit of info based on one of the topics we discussed. I will post it in another post soon.

Michael,
Sounds good. Thanks.
