This is an interesting post taken from Mthfrsupport.com in which a practitioner connects gallbladder issues sulfation & oxolates.
There is a connection between gallbladder function, oxalates and sulfates. I just worked with a Japanese patient in his mid-40's who has suffered from severe depression, fat malabsorption (stool analysis), tachycardia, and severe adrenal fatigue. He currently deals with fatigue, inability to tolerate smells (aldehydes!), headaches, nausea, and irritability with the smallest amount of stress. The patient has a candida and bacteria gut infection, low serotonin, high urinary taurine and very high oxalates, glyceric and glycolic. What is the connection with all these markers?
What we see is that elevated taurine is the body's attempt to produce sulfate via the CDO enzyme. But why would he need sulfate? Well, when oxalates are elevated the body is forced to exchange a sulfate molecule for an oxalate molecule. In other words, the elevated oxalates cause us to pee out our sulfate in very high quantities. As our sulfate levels are lost, the phase II SULT system is slowed. This forces the liver to use other systems like acetylation, methylation and glucoronidation to detox our bodies. The problem is this causes us to use up our methyl groups faster; and it also turns the gallbladder into sludge using too much glucoronidation. This creates the bile sludge we see on ultrasound.
So the gallbladder stops working well, and now fats aren't absorbed well. This causes us to poop out healthy fats and other minerals like calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium. The oxalates are absorbed instead of the fats and minerals. Now the oxalates start going up again, sulfate goes down again, and gallbladder/liver detox and bile gets worse. Around and around like a snowball effect.
As sulfate is lost because of high oxalates, the body cannot keep hormones and neurotransmitters in balance. Loss of sulfate means not only do we not detox, we also don't repair well nor do we keep our hormones in circulation very well. Many hormones and neurotransmitters are "sulfated" and kept in circulation in a turned-off state in case the body needs them in the future. But with low sulfate this doesn't work and we pee out our hormones too fast, leading adrenal fatigue, early menopause, low testosterone, etc. This is one reason why people with gut issues and oxalate issues can be very chronically ill until the oxalate-sulfate situation is addressed.
More to follow in a upcoming video with references and article.
