we often take calcium to support that process make sure there's always calcium in the colon to help support that colonic excretion because when the kidneys are struggling because they're getting bombed with too much oxalate you're and you're getting acid because all that inflammation makes your metabolism acidic and the acidity it makes it more likely that you're going to hurt the kidneys and the high level of oxalates more likely to hurt the kidneys and that tends to turn on as colonics greater
