Summary

The purpose of this research study is to assess the efficacy of ingesting a small amount of the harmless bacterium Oxalobacter formigenes in establishing residence in the guts of healthy participants and to determine whether this influences the oxalate passed in urine.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Good health as judged from a medical history and reported medications
  • Not colonized with O. formigenes

Exclusion Criteria

  • History of any hepatic, renal, bowel or endocrine disease or any other condition that may influence the absorption, transport or urinary excretion of ions, which will compromise the interpretation of results
  • colonized with O. formigenes
  • abnormal urine chemistries or blood metabolic profiles
