Tips for Prevention

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

The #1 prevention strategy:

Drink throughout the day

Not just with meals

Moderate Oxalate (Don't Eliminate)

For oxalate stones:

Limit, don't eliminate vegetables

Pair with calcium

Spread intake throughout day

Don't Avoid Calcium

A common mistake:

Dietary calcium is protective

It binds oxalate in the gut

Avoid calcium supplements without food

Limit Sodium

Sodium increases calcium in urine:

Follow DASH-like sodium limits

Avoid processed foods

Cook at home

Watch Animal Protein

High protein increases stone risk:

Moderate portions

Not every meal

Consider plant proteins
