moved to my Home-State, so happy to be back and have my much-loved 4 Seasons again. Did not like the almost constant, icy winds off the ocean, and lack of shopping options (groceries and other). Did a lot of shopping online and finally gave up on any clothes shopping ;)
and ready to look at some options.

I've read broccoli is low in oxalates, so I think that is good if it's true. I love my broccoli. I'd really like to hear from some of you on foods you are good with though, rather than the videos I was watching. Even if they are carnivore, ok with me. I am pretty good at accepting situations in my life, after I get over my initial "pee'd off" stage ;)

The only thing I would hate to lose out on is my Almond Milk, walnuts, pistachios and Macadamias. I love my dairy like butter, cream-cheese too. I still have found an actual list of thing carnivores eat yet. Pretty sure it's not literally just meat?? I'd like to find a chart kind of like a glycemic scale, but for foods and their oxalate contents/mg since I think I read 50 or below on oxalates is ok.

I'm starting to feel depressed again, but I'll be alright :banghead:;)

You will be alright, yes. I've heard lemon juice and olive oil are good for kidney stones. Some say it's a myth, but I guess it's worth a go. Lots of water and diuretic foods too. Good luck with it!
 
Hi @G0ldengirl68
I am currently suffering from the pain of a kidney stone lodged in my left kidney, and a ureteric stent which was inserted during an operation to remove the stone which failed. I don’t know what type of stone I have but I do know it’s probably not calcium as it doesn’t show on xray, I was diagnosed with a CT scan. I’m waiting for a second op to zap the stone and remove the stent. I haven’t had any guidance with diet to prevent another stone forming. I’m not going to alter anything I eat, as low carb already restricts my choices somewhat and the dietary advice I’ve read on tinternet is difficult to wade through because of the four types of stones and I don’t know which type I have!

I am carnivore. Started out as a regular paleo diet to beat diabetes but after experimenting with carnivore I discovered my body felt even better without plants. I eat meat & organs, fish, dairy and eggs. Not much else. Be aware that if you dramatically cut oxalates from your diet then you may experience dumping which can manifest as painful joints for a few weeks or months until your body has purged. I had quite painful shoulders at one stage not long ago but it’s now resolved.

coconut milk ( unsweetned)? is low in oxalates

It wouldn't surprise me if it's a myth since it seems like anything good, and that folks can afford, or it doesn't come from big pharma is all bad!! Right, it's bad for big pharma ;)

I can't imagine suffering with pain like that ;( I have so many doctors I listen to online, and this site has a lot of info but it's hard to navigate, Earthclinic. I also like Dr. Berg's videos, although I check with several opinions unless I'm pretty confident about the different info and possible remedies. I like him because he puts things in simple terms. Here's just one vid of his I watched on "stones". Maybe you'll find something that might work for you at one or the other link. I hope and pray the best for you @Rachox Oops, forgot the video, just a short one but he has lots: https://youtu.be/dvx9lXwvm84

Oh thanks for the list of foods carnivores eat! I could live without vegies, in fact, lately, all I eat is a few leafs of spinach, and about a cup of broccoli. I love my fish, dairy and eggs. Moderation in those, and trying to drink enough water. I get about 32 ounces for sure a day, with added electrolytes (Endure brand of drops). Also @Jim Lahey thanks for the heads up on the joint issue, I haven't had that with going Keto, or being so low on vegies now, but I still have some muscle-cramps but down to almost nothing on those due to extra magnesium, plus the electrolyte drops in my water. @SMS1 I hope I can keep drinking my almond milk which is only in my 1-2 cups of coffee. I'd say maybe a tablespoon is all.
