Hi, folks. My mother has been diagnosed with kidney stones. She will go to the surgery, but before that she must be on a diet. I would like to know what kind of a diet is recommended for this condition. I would really appreciate if someone could reply this to me. Thank you in advance.
Hi, there. Of course your mother should be on a diet. First, your mother must increase her fluid intake. It is the most important measure for all who have this problem. Calcium should not be taken over the certain limit. It is present in milk, cheeses and yogurt. She should take more fibers since they bind with calcium and eliminate it through intestines instead through kidneys. Sugar, sodium, animal proteins and oxalates should also be decreased in one’s diet. I hope I’ve helped a little. You can consult a nutritionist for details.
