Foods to Avoid for Kidney Stones


To keep kidney stones under control and in check, a person needs to keep all foods that are high in oxalate, salts, and specific types of proteins out of the diet. Food items to be kept out of the kidney stone patients’ diet include:

Oxalate-rich Foods: Spinach, beetroot, chocolate, and nuts should be avoided as they increase the level of oxalates in the body.
High-sodium foods: Decrease the intake of salted snacks, papads, pickles, and other processed food items loaded with salt as a large intake of sodium increases the elimination of calcium.
Animal protein: Have a minimal amount of red meat, chicken skin, and fried non-veg preparations. Prepare lighter and leaner versions of them.
Tomato-based foods: Avoid tomato gravies such as pav bhaji since tomatoes are replete with oxalates.
Sugar drinks: Steer clear from carbonated drinks like colas and energy drinks since sugar is known to bring about kidney stones.


Dietary Prevention of Kidney Stone Formation



Some foods generally prevent the formation of kidney stones by keeping your kidneys healthy and taking care of the body in general:

Citrus fruits: The addition of citrus fruits such as sweet lime and lemons helps in minimizing the incidence of stone formation.
High water content foods: Cucumbers, watermelon, and ash gourd are such food items that increase hydration
Calcium-rich foods: Instead of taking calcium tablets, take curd and paneer, which, in the body, decrease the absorption of oxalate
Whole grains: Fiber is found more in brown rice, jowar bhakri (sorghum flatbread), and whole-wheat roti


Kidney Stone What Not To Eat
A good management of kidney stones would require ducking some specific foods that trigger worsening of the stones. The foods that cause kidney stones include;

Caffeine: Avoid too much tea, coffee, and other caffeinated beverages since they might dehydrate you, causing the formation of stones.
Red meat: Avoid large quantities of mutton and beef, as well as other red meats, which cause uric acid levels to rise and form stones.
Fried Food: All fried items, vada pav, bhajiyas, and samosas, may lead to or worsen kidney diseases.
Colas and carbonated drinks: Do not take colas and carbonated soft drinks as these may increase the risk of developing a kidney stone.
Sweets containing sugar: Avoid sweets such as gulab jamun, jalebi, and puran poli. Sugar is well known to contribute to the kidneys.
