Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, May 25, 2022 12:00 PM By now, you know about oxalates: plant compounds that bind with minerals like calcium and magnesium and form crystals. These crystals deposit in joints, kidneys, prostates, bladders, thyroids, the synovial fluid, and other tissues to cause pain, inflammation, and damage. Oxalate crystals have been linked to issues like kidney stones and arthritis. Many people who are experimenting with the carnivore diet are doing so at least in part to eliminate or reduce oxalates from their diet. You might read about oxalates, say to yourself "I have some of those issues," and start eliminating or reducing oxalate content in your diet by eating less (or zero) spinach, sweet potatoes, raspberries, beets, and other high-oxalate foods. But then something happens: You get joint pain. You get fatigue. Your teeth start developing plaque. You feel stiff and achy and less mobile overall. Urination and defecation are painful, even "grainy." Everything was supposed to be better. These are the symptoms avoiding oxalates was supposed to improve. What's going on? Are You Experiencing "Oxalate Dumping?" According to the prevailing conventional alternative oxalate wisdom, you're oxalate dumping. You stopped eating oxalates and your body responded by "dumping" all the stored oxalate from the past years of oxalate consumption. And because the oxalate was stored throughout your entire body, all your tissues are expressing them, triggering all sorts of oxalate-related symptoms. The biggest proponents of the oxalate dumping idea say that the dumping process can even be dangerous to your health and last for months or even years. To deal with the oxalate dumping, they say you should slowly titrate down your oxalate intake rather than do a cold-turkey full elimination. Eating small to moderate amounts of oxalate-rich foods as you taper off oxalates is supposed to slow the dumping process and allow you to safely and comfortably eliminate oxalates over time. Oxalate dumping has always stumped me, if I'm being honest. It doesn't make intuitive sense. Why does the body immediately start "dumping" oxalate just because you stop eating any exogenous sources of it? Why does it stop dumping oxalate when you start eating more of it? What's the mechanism here? I'm not discounting it or saying it's a myth. There are enough anecdotes from generally trustworthy people who say that going on a low oxalate diet caused them to start getting symptoms of what felt like oxalate excretion: Oxalate crystals showing up on the teeth as plaque. Oxalate crystals appearing in the joints and feet. Oxalate crystals dispersing through various orifices of the body. You can look at plenty of anti-oxalate Instagram accounts with photographic evidence of some of these oxalate crystals people are apparently dumping. Sally Norton is one. I can't verify these are accurate, but I also can't say they're all wrong or confused. I place heavy emphasis on anecdotes. After all, everything you experience and can personally verify is an "anecdote." There is real value there. We move through the world using our own "anecdotes" as guidance. You get enough anecdotes together … Continue reading "Oxalate Dumping: What Do We Know?" The post Oxalate Dumping: What Do We Know? appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
