I've just passed a kidney stone and the pathology came back as it being both a calcium oxylate stone and a uric acid stone. My urologist said he'd never heard of that and had them re-test with the same results. What kind of diet do I follow now to try to prevent further stone? |

Fluid intake is generally accepted as the most important factor, but don't go crazy as there can be adverse consequences from excessive fluid intake. There are some useful general guidelines here: http://www.nym.org/healthinfo/docs/081/doc81dietary.html |

I have had repeated kidney stones as well as gout, so I also must avoid calcium oxalate and uric acid (purines). If you do research on this, you will see how overwhelming and contradictory the advice can be from various sources. What has worked for me is increase drinking water, cut down on raw meat and moderately cut down on other protein (uric acid) and cut down on dark vegetables (calcium oxalate). Also, you should eliminate liver, gravies, and alcohol consumption. |

I wrote "raw meat" above, but I meant RED meat. |
