Is it ok to take plant based proteins when you have kidney stones? i am vegan and take garden of life raw plant based protein daily.

Protein: There should be no problem with plant based protein food in a patient with calcium kidney stones. With uric acid stones, avoiding organ meats and sweetbread may be important.
