What is the food to be served to a person who gets operated for kidney stones?
Answers:
whatever food the doctor says
Beer. It keeps you flushed.
Usually liquid diet to flush the kidney but the doctor should hand out schedule showing various food that can be added from time to time.
large quantities of water, abt 2 liters a day. take vit c to bring back the acidity of ur kidney and fight bacteria from forming, along with it take cranberry juice and aloe vera juice to help heal faster and protect the lining of ur kidneys damaged by the formation of the stones. cereal and oatmeal contain vit b6 which helps control production of stones of calcium oxalates. avoid carbonated drinks and salty drinks or food and red meats and other food containing uric acid crystals. green vegies like salads, or steamed vegies are good as well as fish, better steamed, or with soup. hope this helps.
it would be foods low in purines and amines.
water and plenty of H2O-bland diet--no fried items and def no spices--dont wanna aggravate on the intestines or kidney--dont pressurise the kidney by giving it to heavy stuff--red meat--u can try drinkin soups and much liquid-gud luck
Recent Research on Nutrition and Kidney Stones
Foods to consider avoiding
Oxalate combines with calcium to form insoluble crystals that make up most kidney stones.
Hence it is a good idea to avoid most oxalate foods like
beans
beets
green peppers
spinach (seems to produce the most oxalate)
cocoa, chocolate
tea
peanuts, peanut oil
salt - causes more excretion of calcium in urine
lots of meat
soft drinks (have phosphoric acid)
wheat bran
Some foods to consider eating more often
magnesium (dry milk in homemade yogurt increases the percent of magnesium content through food)
2 cups of calcium fortified orange juice a day provides:
protective citrate, a substitute for potassium citrate, a drug used to prevent kidney stones
additional calcium which research shows actually help break up the kidney stones.
6-10 8oz. glasses of water a day
Vitamin C - ONLY 500 mg a day. Ascorbic acid can inhibit urinary pH (which lowers urinary citrate, a natural inhibitor of kidney stones).
potassium foods, such as fruits and vegetables
small amounts of meat (about the size of a deck of cards), and, if possible, the elimination of red meat from the diet
standard 800-1,000 mg of calcium per day from foods, not supplements. Low calcium may allow absorption of oxalates.
Having overindulged, drink 2 full glasses of water.
Get 10 mg of Vitamin B6 from food. One source of Vitamin B6: eat the tip of a banana, the dark part lodging between the banana and the skin.
Also check for
Check intake of Thiazide diuretics (water pills) to reduce calcium excreted in urine.
Check your risk for osteoporosis.
Check for sodium in urine before diminishing salt too much.
