What is oxalate dumping?

Oxalate dumping occurs when the body releases a large amount of oxalates into the urine or stool after a period of consuming high oxalate foods. This often happens to people who are on a low oxalate diet or have recently reduced their intake of high oxalate foods. Symptoms of oxalate dumping can include increased urinary frequency, pain during urination, cloudy urine, bowel changes, and mood changes. It is important to work with a healthcare professional if you suspect that you are experiencing oxalate dumping, as it can cause discomfort and may have underlying medical causes. Additionally, a low oxalate diet should always be followed under the guidance of a healthcare professional to prevent nutrient deficiencies and other potential complications.
