I asked a similar question a few days ago, but I didnt quite get the complete answer I was looking for and no further answers have been given.
Since , for some time now, calcium ingestion has been recommended in order to bind with oxalate in the stomach and intestine and therefore, make it less available to be absorberd. On the other hand, I have seen citrate medication also being recommended since it binds with calcium to make it less available to bind with oxalate, in order not to form crystals, but also binds with calcium in the intestine to reduce its excretion. My question is if citrate wouldnt also make calcium less available to bind with oxalate in the stomach and intestine, and therefore, make it more likely to be absorbed.
Citrate is a vital crystalization inhibitor, it promote the Ph of the urine and Inhibit crystal formation
Azzawi Hadi, what I meant by my question is if citrate wouldn’t reduce calcium availability to bind with oxalate in the gut and therefore make it less likely to be absorbed
It looks the same as the patient totally avoid Ca intake, this males oxalate difuses in higher rate and causes hyperoxaluria. Do you mean that?
