Does anyone here know how to prevent kidney stones? |
I have been getting them for a few years now and they interfere with my jobs. I need to know what i can do to prevent them. I have passed them and had lithotrypsies aplenty. I am tired of being a Producer, lol. I have hyperparathyroidism. I have had 3 of the parathyroids removed, but still have the problem. If you've had kidney stones for some time, you probably know what kind you have. I produce Oxalate stones. Things high in oxalate are, Draft Beer, Cocoa, Chocolate drinks, tea, Ovaltine, Colas, Blackberries, Blueberries, Currants, Dewberries, Fruit cocktail, Grapes (purple), Lemon & Orange peel, Strawberries, Tangerines, juices from the above, Soybean crackers, Wheatgerm, Fruit cake, Grits (white corn), Most nuts, incl. peanut butter, Chocolate, Vegetable soup, Tomato Soup, Marmalade, Vitamin C Supplements, Beans, Beets, Celery, Chives, Collards, Dandelion greens, Eggplant, Escarole, Kale, Leeks, Mustard greens, Okra, Parsley, Peppers, Potatoes-Sweet, Swiss Chard, Watercress, Soybean Curd, Baked beans in tomato sauce. I was told limeade, lemonade, water, & see thru sodas were ok to drink. I have gone to a Neprologist for years and have been put on meds that have curtailed the stones. I have yearly x-rays, 24 hour urine drops, & blood work once or twice a year now that I've maintained. Good Luck to You!!! Drink a lot of liquids and P. My mom said to always drink a little bit of cranberry juice...Only a small amount since they can cause stones..Good luck, I feel for you! If they are the kinds made of cholesterol, you can take meds to reduce cholesterol. You probably already know if they are or aren't. If they're made of calcium, it's thought that making your urine more acidic by drinking lots of acidic juices like cranberry juice or even vinegar can help. If you're going to be drinking vinegar (apple cider vinegar probably tastes the best), rinse your mouth out afterwards, as vinegar is corrosive to the teeth. I heard there are 2 kinds one is caused by having too much salt and the other calcium build up. So if you cut back on these things it should help. AVOID CRANBERRY JUICE COMPLETELY !!!!!!! You might be able to reduce the frequency of kidney stones by avoiding foods rich in oxalic acid. Oxalic acid tends to form calcium oxalate deposits in your kidneys, producing kidney stones. Tea and rhubarb are rich in oxalic acid. Avoid them, and find out what other foods have oxalic acid in them and avoid them as well. I was told kidney stones are caused by Calcium, Caffeine and Chocolate. I gave up all of them...including dairy and it has worked quite well. It isn't easy, but it's better than getting stones. Sword Bean is good for kidney, said Wikipedia Japan. Less animal foods. More fruits and vegetables. Calcium from broccoli is good. www.ravediet.com Stop drinking caffeine!!! And my question to you is, Has your doctor not told you what to do to prevent this? |
