Diet for kidney stone
Drink at least 8 to 10 oz of fluids every hour during the day and the same quantity once at night if you wake up. Half the quantity of these fluids should be water. This dilutes the urine and deters the formation of stones.
For people with more active lifestyle or those who belong to a warmer climate the intake should be higher.
Have controlled amount of calcium rich foods like milk, milk products, buttermilk, cheese and yoghurt. It is easily absorbed by the body and passed through the kidneys.
Dark leafy vegetables have lesser amount of calcium in them.
Lessen the amount of these foods like nuts, tea, spinach, rhubarb, strawberries, chocolate, wheat bran and beets as they contain large amounts of oxalate. Ideally you should not have more than 50 mg of oxalate in your diet everyday.
Reduce the amount of sugar, sodium, and animal protein from your diet and increase the intake of insoluble fibers found in rye, barley, rice and wheat, as it enhances the easy passage of calcium through the stool.
Decrease the intake of vitamin C fro your diet and have brown rice, brown sugar, brown bread, cereals, fruits and herbal tea regularly.
