Dietary taboos for patients with kidney stones

1. Avoid foods and seafood that can cause hair loss. Avoid eating roosters, cows, sheep, dogs, pig’s feet, donkeys, turtles, ginseng, deer antlers, tortoise glue, donkey-hide gelatin, longans, lychees, bamboo shoots, onions, mushrooms (including mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, popcorn mushrooms, etc., as mushroom foods can cause hair loss), betel nuts, and all fish, freshwater, and marine products. Especially seafood such as shrimps and crabs must not be touched.

2. Do not eat foods rich in oxalate. About 60% of stones are calcium oxalate stones. Therefore, you should limit your intake of foods rich in oxalate, including beans, beets, celery, chocolate, grapes, green peppers, cilantro, spinach, strawberries, and vegetables from the cabbage family. Also avoid alcohol, caffeine, tea, chocolate, dried figs, lamb, nuts, green peppers, black tea, poppy seeds, etc.

3. Be careful when drinking milk before going to bed. Drinking a glass of milk before going to bed may help you sleep if you have trouble sleeping. However, after sleeping, the amount of urine decreases and the various tangible substances in the urine increase. 2 to 3 hours after drinking milk is the peak time for calcium excretion through the kidneys. The amount of calcium excreted through the kidneys suddenly increases in a short period of time, which can easily form stones. Therefore, patients with kidney stones should not drink high-calcium milk before going to bed.

4. Avoid taking any tonic, hair-raising, or heat-inducing Chinese medicine. After recovery, you must abstain from the above products for three months in order to consolidate the effect. This is a facial treatment. Pay attention to the yin and yang of the whole body, and avoid eating foods that are not conducive to prostate recovery. The meats that can be eaten include lean meat, pig heart, pig kidney, pig lung, pig tongue, pig stomach, duck meat, chicken or hen chicken, eggs, quail, pigeon, snake meat, cat meat, milk, etc.

5. Avoid smoking and eating fried or grilled food. People with kidney stones should not smoke (if you can't quit, try to smoke less), drink alcohol, eat spicy food (such as chili peppers, ginger, and garlic are absolutely not allowed), and eat fried or grilled food.

6. Do not take excessive amounts of cod liver oil. Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D, which can promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus by the intestinal membrane. A sudden increase in the excretion of calcium and phosphorus in the urine will inevitably produce precipitation and easily form stones.

7. Eat less foods with high oxalate content and less soy products. Foods high in oxalate include tomatoes, spinach, strawberries, beets, chocolate, etc. Excessive oxalate intake is also one of the main causes of kidney stones. Soy foods are high in oxalate and phosphate, which can combine with calcium in the kidneys to form stones.
