Oxalates: A Hidden Cause of Pain, Anxiety, and Chronic Inflammation
Oxalates and Chronic Pain: The Hidden Cause Most People (and Doctors) Miss
Most people have never heard of oxalates — yet they may be one of the biggest hidden drivers of chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, and inflammation.
Oxalates are tiny, sharp, crystal-like compounds found in certain foods and also produced inside the body. In small amounts, the body can usually handle them. But when oxalates build up, they can irritate tissues, disrupt mineral balance, and overstimulate the nervous system.
And here’s the reality:
Most people don’t search for “oxalates.”
They search for:
-
Why do I have chronic pain and normal labs?
-
Why do I feel inflamed all the time?
-
Why do I have anxiety and nerve symptoms with no diagnosis?
-
Why am I exhausted even when I sleep?
Oxalates are often part of that answer.
Symptoms Commonly Linked to High Oxalates
High oxalates have been associated with a wide range of chronic symptoms, including:
Kidney stones
Bladder irritation
Pelvic pain
Joint and muscle pain
Fibromyalgia-type symptoms
Burning, tingling, or nerve pain
Chronic fatigue and brain fog
Thyroid irritation
Skin rashes or hives
Digestive inflammation
Anxiety and mood instability
Many of these patients are told their labs are “normal.”
But normal labs do NOT mean normal biochemistry.
The Mold, Yeast, and “Healthy Diet” Trap
One of the biggest misunderstandings in functional medicine is this:
You can be eating a “clean” healthy diet — and still have high oxalates.
Why?
Because mold exposure and Candida/yeast overgrowth can cause your body to manufacture oxalates internally.
This is why patients with mold illness often have:
• unexplained body pain
• nerve sensitivity
• anxiety spikes
• bladder irritation
• pelvic pain
• fatigue that makes no sense
It’s not in their head.
It’s biochemical.
Oxalates and Mitochondrial Damage
Oxalates don’t just irritate tissues — they stress mitochondria.
Mitochondria are the energy factories of every cell in your body.
When mitochondria are stressed, you see:
Chronic inflammation
Accelerated aging
Poor recovery
Brain fog
Nervous system hypersensitivity
Exercise intolerance
This is why so many patients feel like their body “just can’t bounce back.”
Why Bloodwork Usually Misses This
Standard bloodwork is designed to catch disease, not dysfunction.
You can have:
• Normal CBC
• Normal metabolic panel
• Normal thyroid labs
And still have severe metabolic stress from oxalates, mold, yeast, mitochondrial dysfunction, or detox blockages.
That’s why deeper functional testing matters.
The Most Accurate Way to Detect Oxalate Problems: The Organic Acids Test (OAT)
The Organic Acids Test is one of the most powerful functional medicine tools available.
It does NOT just look at oxalates.
It maps the biochemical patterns behind chronic symptoms, including:
Mold and yeast overgrowth markers
Oxalate levels
Mitochondrial stress patterns
Detoxification blockages
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
Neurotransmitter metabolism markers
Protein and amino acid metabolism
Fat digestion and absorption
Gut dysbiosis patterns
This is why patients often feel validated for the first time after this test.
Because it explains WHY they feel the way they do.
Why This Matters for Chronic Pain, Fatigue, and Anxiety
When you correct oxalate overload and the root drivers behind it, patients often see improvement in:
Pain levels
Energy production
Sleep quality
Brain clarity
Mood stability
Inflammation
Digestive function
Not by masking symptoms.
By correcting chemistry.
If You Feel Like Something Has Been Missed — You’re Probably Right
If you’ve been told:
“Everything looks normal.”
“Maybe it’s stress.”
“Maybe it’s just aging.”
You are not alone — and you are not crazy.
You may be dealing with a biochemical pattern that routine medicine simply doesn’t test for.
