What foods have to be taken and avoided for Kidney stones?

Hi there, 

Following are the foods you should avoid in order to prevent kidney stones or its reoccurrence.

-sodium intake;

A high-sodium diet can trigger kidney stones because it increases the amount of calcium in your urine. So a low-sodium diet is recommended for the stone prone. Current guidelines suggest limiting total daily sodium intake to 2,300 mg.

-Calcium intake ;

Getting too little calcium in your diet can cause oxalate levels to rise and cause kidney stones. To prevent this, make sure to take in an amount of calcium appropriate to your age (obtain calcium from plant source only).

-Limit animal protein: 

Eating too much animal protein, such as red meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood, boosts the level of uric acid and could lead to kidney stones. A high-protein diet also reduces levels of citrate, the chemical in urine that helps prevent stones from forming.

-Avoid other stone-forming foods:

 Beets, chocolate, spinach, rhubarb, tea, and most nuts are rich in oxalate, and colas are rich in phosphate, both of which can contribute to kidney stones. 

Some of the best food that can be taken for kidney stones are:

- Citrus fruits - the best is lemon which can be consumed as juice or in any form. They help break down the calcium deposits.

- Wheatgrass juice can help to expel minerals and salts from the urinary tract, preventing them from crystalizing into kidney stones.

- Kidney beans - magnesium-rich 

Kidney beans contain a lot of magnesium, a compound known to help reduce kidney stones and their symptoms.

-Pomegranate juice

The astringent and antioxidant properties of pomegranates are thought to reduce the chances of developing kidney stones and ease their passage. So it's a good choice.

Holistically kidneys are made to expel liquids not the solid waste. Whenever the solid waste is diverted to the kidney it is inhabited in the kidney and remains there for long times and then starts accumulating solid things around. Kidney stones in the urinary tract are formed in other several ways. Calcium can combine with chemicals, such as oxalate or phosphorous, in the urine. This can happen if these substances become so concentrated that they solidify. Kidney stones can also be caused by a build-up of uric acid. The uric acid build-up is caused by the metabolism of protein.

If your calcium intake is low, oxalate levels may rise. It’s preferable to get your calcium from food, rather than from supplement

Vegetarian sources of calcium include legumes, calcium-set tofu, dark green vegetables, nuts, seeds, and blackstrap molasses.

Vitamin D helps the body absorb more calcium. 

Take a lot of water during the day to avoid the formation of stones. Early morning water around 2 lts is preferred for whole body help and cleaning the waste within the body. The Early morning water between 3-5AM is boon for the body and proves Amrit in reality as advised by HH Bang Bhatt six thousand years back.

To avoid the recurrence of kidney stones, or to prevent them developing in the first place, people should drink plenty of water, limit salt and animal protein, limit foods high in oxalates, and be cautious about taking too much calcium in supplements.

High sodium levels in the body, can promote calcium build-up in the urine. Red meat, pork, chicken, poultry, fish, and eggs, increase the amount of uric acid you produce. Eating large amounts of protein also reduces a chemical in urine called citrate. Citrate’s job is to prevent the formation of kidney stones. You should also avoid colas, chocolate, beets, nuts(direct without soaking in water), tea, rhubarb, spinach, swiss chard, sweet potatoes and fast foods with a high-level concentration of spices.

Kidney stones mabe beformedwhen your urine contains some of thecrystal-forming substances — such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid and these stones could cause discomfort or sharp pain when you urinate. These substances may lack substances which prevent the crystals that stick or bound togther and this leads to many stones which could be moving in your urinary tract and could cause problems when you pass urine. In some cases this could cause even inflammation or infection when these stones rupture the mucousal layer of the urinary tract.

Some of the commonest symptoms might be,

• Severe pain that is sharp in nature onthesides and back, below the ribs
• Pain that willradiateto the lower abdominal area and groin
• Intermittent pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity
• Pain while you pass urine
• Pink, red or brown urine which indicates presence of blood or previous bleeding
• Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
• Nausea and vomiting may be present
• Persistent feeling to pass urine
• Urinating more often than usual in small quantities
• Fever and chills if an infection is present

Foods that prevent formation of Kidney Stones are:

Drink plenty of water:Drinking lot quantity ofwater dilutes the substances in urine that lead to stones. Make a habbit to drink more amount of water atleast 2-3 litres which could benefit.

Get the calcium you need:Consumingtoo little calcium in your diet couldincrease theoxalate levels to rise and cause kidney stones. It is adviced thatmen over the age of 50 and older should get 1,000 milligrams (mg) of calcium per day, along with 800 to 1,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D to help the body absorb the calcium.

Reduce sodium:A high-sodium intake in thediet couldtrigger the formation ofkidney stones because the sodium could increases the amount of calcium in your urine. So a low-sodium diet is always recommended for the stone prone.

Reduce the intake of animal protein: Consuming high quantities ofanimal proteins, such as red meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood, boosts the level of uric acid and could lead to kidney stones.

Avoid stone-forming foods: Consuming beetroots, chocolates, spinach, coffee, tea, and most nuts that are rich in oxalate, and colas are rich in phosphate, may increase the risk of formingkidney stones.

Consumption of Plantain pith Juice:

Plantain pith juice is one of the best remedy for those suffering from kidney stones. Plantain pith is taken and made into small slices and made into juice with a help of a mixer grinder and filtered and consumed. It might be consumed 2-3 times daily which could stimulate the elimination of these stones

Consumption of Horse Gram:

Consumption of horse gram either through soup or stew could also help in dissolving these stones

Dear Health seeker, Though one kidney was sufficient to sustain our organism, yet GOD has been all grace to grant us the services of two kidneys. He knew before hand that His best creation would in order to over indulge in sensory organs will one day make short work of both the kidneys and then will cry foul play and seek the remedial measure to put his kidneys to work at the optimum again.
Food to be avoided :

1) High protein diet is the enemy no one for the gravel to form.
2) Drinking of stimulants like tea,coffee in  general and chocolate and its preparation in cakes, pastries in particular are next in queue to precipitate gravel ( stones in the kidneys).
3) Avoid all pulses, eggs, fish, foul and flesh.
4) Avoid all species and condiments.
5) Avoid drinking of enormous amounts of water as is suggested by so called soothe sayers, most Dr. And Vaidyas.

Foods to be taken:

1) All seasonal fruits 
2) Plenty of vegetables raw and conservatively cooked.
3) Drink natural diuretics ( inducing more urine naturally) like tender coconut water, juices of cucumber, carrots , cane juice, Ash gourd juice. 
4) To rule out any possibility of formation of gravel, drink  50 ml of banana stem juice.
5) Try to maximize the services of other 3 excretory organs lungs, bowels, and skin and for that brisk walk 3 to 4 km daily. apply non violent enema, bask early morning sun. Thus there won't be any possibility ever for the formation of kidney stone.

It is not just the food that may cause you kidney stones. It is over all lifestyle and food habits included that may cause you kidney stones. Stones are formed when toxins get accumulated and get hardened with time is they are not eliminated with time. So what is the life style you will need to follow?

I would say we must look into what things we should remove from our diet first to improve our health.

Foods to be removed

1 All packaged and processed outside food-like substances.

2 Refined flour and refined oil

3 All types of stimulants like tea and coffee. If you drink alcohol then that too must be stopped.

4 All overcooked, deep-fried oily food.

5 Meat, eggs, fish or dairy products

Foods to be included

1 Fresh locally grown seasonal fruits - 50% of daily intake

2 Fresh seasonal vegetables and greens - 35% of daily intake

3 Grains - soaked or sprouted or steamed - 10 % of daily intake

4 soaked nuts and seeds - 5% of daily intake

And understand this - it is not only the food that influences your quality of health but many other things too matter equally. 

1 Learn Pranayam and yoga for relaxing your mind, improving your flexibility and activating your lymphatic system.

2 Get good sun exposure either in the early hours of the morning or a couple of hours before sunset. 

3 Get in touch with Mother Earth. Do some gardening with your hands or at least walk barefoot on sand or mud. Sit in parks or lie on the ground or lawns and relax.

4 Keep an eye on your bowel movement. See to it that your bowels are always functioning normally. Eliminate larger quantities than what you eat.

5 Rest and relax well. Sleep in the earlier part of the night and sleep through the night. Wake up before or with the sun.

6 Be well hydrated. Consume a lot of juicy fruits veggies and greens to hydrate yourself well.

7 Get your body moving, do yoga or participate in any outdoor sport, walk or do some gardening. Moving your body will support the removal of toxins and free flow of vitality

8 Be happy always. Don’t let life’s negativities to bog you down. Always be positive.

Follow these principles and as you go on eliminating toxins and discarding all damaged unhealthy tissues you will start seeing a great change in your overall health.

Kidneys are one of the 5 major excretory organs with a vital function in the body. They clean the blood atleast 300 times per hr. They excrete the metabolic waste from the blood including medicines and bad food wastes. People who consume meds stimulants like tea coffee tax their kidneys considerably. Wastes like urea Uric acid creatinin and byproduct’s of metabolic waste from excess proteins , excess salts, excess sugar ( due to sugar or carb metabolism that did not get used by the cells in cases of diabetes and glycosuria( expelling glucose from urine), excess acids from the blood that was generated to keep the blood alkaline, bad habits like excess water everything is expelled by the kidneys. 

Due to wrong living habits over a long period of time, kidneys filters gets clogged and inflamed and develop congestion. If you don’t wash your tea filter, then imagine what happens to your tea? It remains outside the filter and can’t be filtered to the mug. To remove that plaque, you need to take extra steps isn’t it? So your sister has a lot of waste in the blood that is constantly getting collected and poor filters are still working. If she continues her current living habits of food medicines or various aspects like this, it can lead to CKD or chronic kidney disease and in such cases dialysis will be the only way bcoz a machine will need to filter the blood and be sent back to the body bcoz the kidney have lost their ability to filter. God has been very graceful and gave us 2, but we have been misusing his generosity. It’s very important that she realises that her lifestyle has to change drastically - 180degree ulta direction to recover from this condition and it’s definitely possible. We hardly have cases who have naturally recovered from a dialysis level, but we do have people who have recovered from stones. .

So like I said kidneys gets inflamed ( swollen ) and bleeding can also happen. Stones and other injuries are common.

This is an occurrence where the inhibitors of the formation of crystals are not present or have been less because of living conditions. So this pebble-like concentration is usually composed of mineral salts. Such people in the initial stages if their urine was collected as a sample would have found pus and blood also. Gravels can also be seen. It’s not an overnight symptom when she experienced this even for the first time. Stones have continued to become larger and larger. In many cases, these are passed via the bladder. Until it reaches the bladder there is a pain and once it’s in the bladder pain reduces. Sometimes if lifestyle is not changed the stone can become bigger and bigger to even come to the badder. These damage the mucosa lining in the kidneys .

Getting to remove the stones via lithotripsy or dissolving it or via surgery is violent ways of addressing the problem because the body condition is still capable of producing stones because the blood is still toxic and thick. Many such methods of removing the stones Can leave behind some residue that can poke and damage the walls of the ureter pipe too.

Food changes

Tomato is not bad even if it has oxalis acid and even if medical doc says calcium oxalate is bad. Same with spinach. Plant based minerals don’t harm the kidneys as opposed to man made junk in which oxalate could be present such as chocolates. Avoid stimulants like hing too. Adviced to avoid pain meds and bear the pains while this treatment is on bcoz even meds come back to the kidneys to get filtered and we are trying to remove the old meds and such junk. So adding more is adding fuel to the fire. 

Immediate relief from pains :-

Please be on the following juices - don’t take too much water to overload the system. But advised to stay only on natural juices and tender coconut or juices ground in tender coconut and filtered such as below. 

Please have cucumber / kaakdi + Karela or bittergourd + tomato mix juice once a day say 100ml in the morning 

Juice of ash gourd / Durva grass ( used for Ganesh Pooja ) , banana stem / bilwa leaf . 

Soft fruits 

Alternate hot and cold pack for sometime and then cold pack must be given at the end of it all together for 20-30min. Helps relieve pain.

Long term lifestyle changes:-

Avoid meat diary ( milk tea coffee curd ghee paneer cheese butter ) sugar jaggery salt ( use moderately in cooked only) , outside packaged foods, sweets , oily foods , maida, refined oils , white rice , unpolished foods, wheat , maida 

Start with a green leafy juice mixed with a watery vegetable like cucumber or ashgourd in the morning with ginger and lime- one big glass say 200ml 

Fruits for breakfast till 12. 

Vegetable salads with lots of greens and no nuts for lunch 

Mildly spiced cooked gluten free oil free meal 30% grains and 70% veggies. 

Things will be better and stones will melt overtime. Please see a nature cure practitioner is symptoms are severe

Be blessed

Hi,  

Kidney stones are due to crystallization of minerals and salts, most commonly calcium oxalate, Dehydration is considered a major reason for the development of kidney stones. When the body is dehydrated, fluid moves more slowly through the kidneys, increasing the chances of mineral and salt compounds coming into close contact and sticking together and forms crystal and stones.

Natural remedies:

Water: Drinking water is one of the easiest ways to prevent and treat kidney stones. Drinking 2-3 litres of water day helps to prevent or get relived from stones.

Lemon juice: Lemons contain citrate, a compound, helps break down calcium deposits and slow their growth.

• Drinking on an empty stomach first thing in the early morning and a few hours before dinner helps to break down the stones.

Basil juice: Basil contains compounds which help to stabilize uric acid levels, making it harder for kidney stones to form. Also, basil contains acetic acid, a chemical known to help dissolve stones.

• One teaspoon of basil extract or pure juice per day in an empty stomach may help prevent and treat kidney stones.

Plantain pith Juice: Due to its diuretic properties consuming plantain pith/banana stem juice helps to dissolve/prevent kidney stones.
