Leaky gut syndrome and gut health issues can lead to histamine intolerance, oxalate intolerance, and salicylate intolerance. The buildup of histamine, oxalate, and salicylate causes increased inflammation, gut health issues, and leaky gut leading to inflammation and health issues. Salicylate intolerance develops very similar to oxalate intolerance. Poor gut health and poor liver function can decrease the body's ability to deal with excess salicylates. The buildup of salicylate and oxalates can trigger histamine intolerance, causing leaky gut syndrome.

In a healthy body, Oxalobacter formigenes and Lactobacillus are there to act as oxalate-degrading bacteria. But if you have compromised gut flora due to a low-nutrient diet, nutrient deficiencies, antibiotic use, genetic mutations, liver or kidney problems, or chronic stress, your body will have a difficult time removing oxalates properly.

Excess oxalates and the body's inability to handle them can lead to mineral malabsorption, inflammation, a compromised immune system, oxidative stress, poor mitochondrial function, cellular and tissue damage, and histamine release. Oxalates can bind to certain minerals, including magnesium, iron, copper, potassium, and calcium, and influence metabolism, mitochondrial function, and inflammation levels. Health problems:---

At least 50% of the total oxalate in the body comes from food. The rest is formed inside the body (metabolic oxalate) from two sources: the breakdown of vitamin C and the metabolism of amino acids and other substances.

Most people absorb between 10-15% of the oxalates they ingest. In some people, the proportion can be drastically higher, up to 70%. Hyperabsorption is a reality in people with gastrointestinal inflammation, whether obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome or another inflammatory disease.

Your body's ability to create oxalates depends on your genetics and nutritional deficiencies. Vitamin B1 and B6 deficiencies can increase oxalate production, so it is very important to reduce the risk of vitamin B deficiencies.

Exogenous oxalates come from the foods you eat and from gut microbes. Oxalate content table:

Bile is essential for the absorption of fats. In a healthy intestine, oxalates bind to calcium forming calcium oxalate and are eventually released through bowel movements. With poor bile formation and excess fat, calcium will bind to fat and your body will end up absorbing too many oxalates. Once the oxalates are absorbed.

Additionally, yeasts and molds can also create oxalates. Excessive yeast and mold growth can also cause high oxalate levels. However, mold and yeast can also trigger histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). It can also increase inflammation in the body, lead to poor gut health, and cause leaky gut syndrome. Inflammation and gut problems can further fuel the body's inability to absorb histamines, oxalates, and salicylates.

The good doctor spent a lot of time talking over her. He usually doesn't do that. Hard to listen to. Did get one good nugget. I will be making sure that all of my purchases cheese is made with animal rennat.
