Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

1, People with kidney stones should eat less high-calcium foods.
2, Limit the intake of carbohydrates for people with kidney stones. High sugar intake can increase the risk of developing kidney stones, so it's important to reduce the consumption of sweet foods.
3, People with kidney stones should eat less oxalate-rich foods. Foods high in oxalates include tomatoes, spinach, strawberries, beets, and chocolate. Excessive oxalate intake is also a major factor or cause of kidney stones.
4, People with kidney stones should eat less soy products. Soy products are high in both oxalates and phosphates, which can combine with calcium in the kidneys to form stones.
5, People with kidney stones should avoid drinking milk before going to bed. Since milk contains a high amount of calcium, most kidney stones are composed of calcium salts. The most dangerous factor in stone formation is a sudden increase in calcium concentration in the urine. Two to three hours after drinking milk is the peak time for calcium excretion through the kidneys. If this period coincides with sleep, urine becomes more concentrated, and more calcium is excreted through the kidneys, making it easier to form stones.
