Gut Oxalate Absorption in Calcium Oxalate Stone Disease

The goal of this clinical trial study is to test if patients with idiopathic calcium oxalate kidney stones have an increased absorption of dietary oxalate, which would lead to increased urinary excretion of oxalate. The study will recruit adult patients with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones and healthy volunteers without kidney stones. Participants will * ingest fixed diets containing low and moderately high amounts of oxalate for 5 days at a time * ingest a soluble form of oxalate and sugar preparations to test gut permeability * collect urine, blood, stool and breath sample during the fixed diets and the soluble oxalate test
