Some people close to me had kidney stones and I was curious about how they were formed, which led me down this rabbit hole.
Some cultures have more exposure to oxalic acid in their foods. I looked up the oxalic content of various foods and noticed that one person I know appears to dislike fruit that has a high oxalic acid content. Perhaps some of us are able to detect it in some way?
One problem with detecting oxalic acid is its not usually in the blood stream (i.e. waiting in the adipocytes)
I've only heard of people doing carnivore reporting Oxalate dumping. Though the protocol seems to be to introduce a small amount of oxalates in the diet to prevent dumping when inconvenient.
This is just another scam, really
Could you elaborate? Is oxalic acid the scam, or oxalate dumping? The latter I think is not well understood and often self-diagnosed, so I definitely see problems with the term.
