[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1620453, member: 438800"] What is your advice for limiting kidney stones? I had never had them until this year when I went LCLF like you. From other threads, and this one, I get the impression we have a surprisingly similar diet. My kidney-specialist doctor seems good but when I told him about the recent diet change to low-carb and asked for dietary advice, he shrugged his shoulders and his only suggestion was to drink a lot more water. I complied, but it did not prevent a second kidney stone, early this month (the second one in the past six months). I would very much like to avoid this becoming chronic! So far the only additional change I have made after the second stone is to drop nuts altogether (because nuts appear on lists of stone-aggravating foods). This is quite a major change because (like you, I think) nuts were a staple of my low-carb diet. I seem to be losing weight again, which may or may not be a concern -- it depends whether it is small and temporary, or something more substantial. Having said all of the above, it seems like although kidney stones are a (very) painful nuisance, in most cases they are not a major health threat. (They checked my kidney function [I]ad nauseam[/I] and there is no sign of kidney disease.) [/QUOTE]
