is there anything you can do to avoid getting kidney stones?
It is thought that if you have had
kidney
stones in the past, you are
more likely to get them again, but
adapting your diet is worthwhile:
- Eat a diet that is high in wholegrains and leafy green vegetables, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and fish and poultry in small portions. Include foods that have a high ratio of magnesium to calcium such as brown rice, bananas, oats, barley, and soy, and that are high in fiber such as oat bran, psyllium seed husk, and flaxseed meal.
- Drink a minimum of 50% of body weight in ounces of water daily (e.g., a 150 lb person would drink 75 oz of water). Proper hydration helps prevent the urine from becoming concentrated with crystals, which can lead to stone formation; and reduces the risk for urinary tract infections, which may lessen the risk for stones. Urine color can indicate the level of concentration: dark or bright yellow urine indicates highly concentrated urine; pale or colorless urine indicates dilute urine.
- Avoid sugar (check ingredients for hidden sources of sugar), alcohol, antacids, excessive protein, dairy products (especially milk), salt, carbonated beverages, caffeine, and refined white flour products such as pasta, white bread, and baked goods.
