A member asked:
Is eating shredded wheat advised for kidney stone patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's fine: Depending on the type of kidney stone, you may restrict calcium some (calcium stones) or purines some (uric acid stones). Beyond this, diet is generally at your discretion and in keeping with your preferences and overall health.
