[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1711015, member: 438800"] Both of my stones so far were the most common type: calcium oxalate. Uric acid stones, which I did not have, are apparently more common among T2 diabetics but that is not what I had. Yes, I have been keeping my calcium intake up, although I did stop taking calcium supplement pills. My reasoning being that my kidney stone episodes began a few months after I started taking those calcium pills! (I had started taking the pills because I was worried about low calcium intake from eliminating milk when I went on LC diet.) Concerning oxalates, I really wasn't consuming that much of them but cut down what I could. Cut out the spinach and other obvious sources. Yes, it is a challenge trying to be low-fat/low-protein and LC all at the same time! Not to mention low-sodium which was added a few months ago, to control the urine calcium levels. My diet is rather bland now that I have given up cheese (which is relatively high sodium), olives (cured in high-sodium brine) and various other favourite foods. The good news so far is that we are nearly into March which means nearly four months without another kidney stone. Long may it last. Late next month I will be doing another 24-hour urine test to see if the urine calcium has dropped any. [/QUOTE]
