Question 1

Is soybean oil the same as soybeans in which it would be bad to eat if you have kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Soya beans are high in protein, which can lead to formation of stones. Soya bean oil is fat and should be ok to take in kidney stones. In general be careful with amount of fats for other health reasons.

Question 2

I'm just wondering, if you have kidney stones, what can you eat to alleviate the pain?

Accepted Answer

I don't know of any dietary items that alter the course of kidney stone pain.  Typically stones are only painful when they leave the kidney by way of the ureter.  See a urologist for therapeutic options.

Question 3

Can you eat nuts with kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

If you form oxalate stones then nuts are one of the foods that you may be advised to avoid.

Question 4

What can i eat if i have kidney stones ?what i have to avoid?

Accepted Answer

Stones can be uric acid, calcium phosphate, calcium oxalate and cysteine.  Depending on type you should modify your diet.  All stone formers should be on a low sodium diet because it decreases calcium and uric acid excretion by the kidney.  A low protein diet, especially low in purines (red meats), helps decrease uric acid.  Finally and most important; drink at least 3-4 quarts of fluid a day.

Question 5

What are good foods to eat or drink to make kidney stone smaller?

Accepted Answer

Increase in water intake to have a urine output of more than 2.5 liter is the only proven way of reducing risk of kidney stones. It is less likely for a established stone to become smaller over time, however modification in diet and risk factors can be helpful depending on the composition of stone.

Question 6

For folks who have kidney stone, aside from spinach what other vegetables should these folks not eat?

Accepted Answer

If you drink enough water every day so that your urine is mostly colorless, this will do more to prevent formation of new stones than eliminating vegetables from your diet.
Wish you good health!

Question 7

Question 8

How long after you pass a kidney stone should pain hang around i am scared to eat and not sure if it is all in my head if you know what i mean ?

Accepted Answer

Usually there is complete relief from pain once you pass the stone
sometime the kidney stone is associated with infection and in that case there may be some discomfort but not the same pain you feel with a kidney stone
if you have passed the stone or stones and do not have co existing infection, you should feel no pain now.

Question 9

What should i eat when you have kidney stone?

Accepted Answer

Reduce salt intake, reduce or limit animal protein intake. Reduce other protein (eggs, fish meat) & oxalate containing foods (nuts, spinach, rhubarb wheat bran) if calcium oxalate stones. Most important is to drink lots of water, aim for 10 glasses/day. Get enough calcium (milk & chhese is ok) they do not, and salt does, contribute to forming calcium stones.

Question 10

Can i eat broccoli and cheddar soup with kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

There are many different types of stones including calcium oxalate (mono & dihydrate), calcium phosphate, struvite, cystine, indinvir, matrix and uric acid stones, to name a few. The type of stone is not the whole answer, however. A complete stone risk analysis also includes specific serum and urine studies, as well. After a full stone risk analysis appropriate dietary restrictions can be given.
