[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1620626, member: 240838"] I was advised to keep a low oxalate diet which includes dark leafy greens, spinach being the worst but all but kale are very bad, eat a low protein diet, and drink lemon water. I was eating loads of spinach, never again! I do still eat a few nuts as snacks. Macs and pecans but it’s one of each about 4 times a day so I spread them out. I’m not sure if that makes a difference or not. For me, eliminating spinach and Swiss chard was a huge decrease in oxalates. And I mean huge. I was eating it twice a day everyday. Luckily for me i did not pass the stones. I couldn’t have anyway as they were huge sitting one on top of the other blocking my ureter. But I as in agonizing pain for 2 weeks as another stupid Dr was treating me for a urinary tract infection which I did not have. Eliminating nuts would be very hard for me as it’s about the only thing I can eat away from insulin. But as I said, I limit them. Some are worse than others and compared to dark leafy greens their nothing. I also reduced protein to .8 g per kg lean body mass. I weigh 121 so it’s about 5/oz per day and I divide it into 4-5 mini meals hoping the kidneys can process everything better in smaller amounts. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
