A question for viewers: What was your kidney stone experience like?
So i get from 1-2 calcium stones a month, now granted there have been months i have gone without getting any, but i have had these since i was 23. i usually can pass them without hospital visits but there have been many times i can not stand the pain and go. I am pretty good at tracking the passing of these stones from start to finish, wish these would go away these affect so much of my life from eating to drinking to just exercising or a walk with the wife.
Horiible pain sir
Is the stone also responsible for my foamy urine?
here's several suggestions worth trying
drink plenty of water.
eat watermelon - this can prevent kidney stones naturally.
try taking pomegranate seeds and drink coconut water - these help reduce kidney stones .
avoid tomato, cucumber, spinach and fizzy drinks.
(I learned these and the reasons they work on caths remedy answer site )
I have spent months researching the top cure for treating kidney stones at home and found an awesome website at Caths Remedy Answer (check it out on google)
10 days ago I figured out my horrible and crippling joint pain was due to my VERY Green smoothies! First time I have had no pain in two years. My smoothies were an entire batch of Collard greens, an entire bag of Spinach, Kale, raspberries, blueberries, collagen powder....I would have almonds with it. I even had pieces of stones floating around my knees causing terrible pain. I stopped all of it, and am now pain free. It is literally a miracle.
whoa, a whole bag of spinach!
@@DrRobertChan right hes Trippin right Doc
that's so great happy for you!
Yep and Vegans think they are on the right path.......
Spinach is rich with calcium oxalate
Just came back from the ER, I get recurring kidney stones every year, and this one was the biggest at 8mm for me. At this point I've had so many that even though the pain is the same, I'm able to drive myself to the hospital so long as I stay calm and take deep breaths. Had to stay overnight, they gave me a JJ-stemp, some antibiotics, and sent me home the next day. To anyone who's never had a kidney stone, god I envy you.
8mm?? you’re tuff!
As a sufferer of calcium kidney stones my whole life I appreciate this information. Just recently am suffering another bout of them and it was incredibly frustrating as I've not had sodas in my diet for a year+ now, and was pulling out my hair trying to find possible causes.
Since so many foods contain oxalates it seems to come down to moderation in eating. Rather than label any one food verboten, eating smaller portions overall seems to make more sense. Besides, Americans tend to eat supersize portions of nearly everything. Take, for example, the smoothie makers who go through a 1/2 bag of spinach a day. Thanks much for your video.
Thanks for the highly informative video. I had a kidney stone in 2013. I haven't had one since, thank God, but I am always wary about what I eat how much I drink. At the time of my infliction, I thought I was living a healthy life. I went to the gym three to four times a week, my meals were relatively balanced, and I drank primarily water. But I should add that this was also a very stressful period in my life. A new job overseas awaited me and I was to be wed shortly before my departure. I believe all of this became a bit overwhelming for me and manifested itself into a kidney stone. Perhaps the cause might not always be one's diet. Sometimes the reason could be psychosomatic.
the mind and body can be very connected as you say... sounds like you had a pretty healthy lifestyle if you were working out that much
You could have some other stones forming or already formed in the kidneys. Only an MRI would be able to answer that.
@@DrRobertChan sir kidney stone recovered patients can eat pista
Thanks 🙏, for your advice about kidney stones, 🌍📖🙌🔥🔥🔥♥️
Thanks Rashid, for sharing your story. This is really helpful for me at the moment. The lesson is to reduce stress as much as possible and drink plenty of water with your workouts and high protein intake.
A week of Cola drinks containing Phosphoric acid and I breed kidney stones. Spinach has the same outcome. No longer eat either.
Thanks Doc.. appreciated
My pleasure
Very grateful
আমি আয়ুর্বেদিক ঔষধ ব্যবহার করেছি Warstone DS...এটি kidney stone অপসারণে খুবই শক্তিশালী,

Hello Dr I make once a week turkey stew is ok to eat turkey? Thank u
Mr. Rodgers's neighborhood voice. nice
Just experienced my first one very recently. This thing had me literally sweating through my sheets and going into shock from the pain, my friend had to call an ambulance to take me to the ER, it was so bad... Will do anything to make sure it doesn't happen again, it's crippling.
Mere kidney stone aur ureter stone pighal gaye khadnol livcon capsule and khadnol syrup se aur peshab bhi khul kar aati hai, best result hai dawai ka!! Bbz
Thank You
Its excellent ❤❤❤
Makes no sense to spend a whole video making what you can’t have! What people who are trying to avoid stones really need are some ideas on what they CAN eat, since the list of can’t haves is so long!! Really don’t understand this approach.
To help people realize just how bad the bad things could be is my guess. Videos showing good for us recipes would be encouraging for sure.
My story is I have had four hospitalizations for severe sepsis but MDs couldn’t find source. After the third time it was determined to be a 6mm kidney stone caught in the tube going from the kidney to the bladder. It was removed by Dr. Bennett. I am asymptomatic for kidney stone pain, and had a fourth episode a year later. I’m on low dose nitrofurantoin and diet, so this visual method of learning was helpful!
Amazing you don't have the pain from a kidney stone (or repeated nausea and vomiting copious amounts of food...it's fun doing it while getting a CT scan). I know in some instances, pain is good. However, after suffering twice the pain of childbirth without a cute little baby to reward you...I just might trade you for that four day period.
Do u have any unusual dietary intakes? Do u drink a lot of tea? Just curious.
Informative video .. Thanks
Welcome
Dr help SOS need to know what nuts are seeds I can eat as I don't want know kidney stones
Hi , I have that list but there is no breakfast sausage like the jimmy dean sausage breakfast patties or links , how much or how many should I eat ? ive looked everywhere for info on them and cant find anything .
those are pretty salty.
THANK YOU! I JUST HAD
I just kidney stones surgery and certain foods still make me feel sick to my stomach.? I have anxiety because of it .?
I’m new to this outstanding channel. I’m wondering how many oxilates are in honey?
Most animal products are low in oxalates, but high in PRAL
great info!
Thank you! It's interesting because I tend to gravitate to a lot of these foods. Spinach and potatoes are my go-to's. Being lactose intolerant set me up for disaster and now I'm passing my second stone. I'll definitely take this advice for prevention.
Hi Adrianna, try lactose-free milk and cheese. There are lots of cheeses that have no lactose. Swiss cheese comes to mind.
@TRUST first stone was surgically removed. Second stone I passed on my own, but I needed some medication to pass it as well as pain medication. It was very painful and took some time to pass, but once in my bladder it was easy from there. I think surgery was a worse experience for me personally.
@TRUST - I passed 14 little stones each with a diameter of 2 mm or less. This was totally painless. Now, I was lucky because I had Extracorporal Sound Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL). I highly recommend you try this method because it was totally non-invasive, no stent was needed and painless. There was some blood in the urine on day one. But no pain.
Interesting... Had Calcium Oxalate stones for over 12 years, averaging about 1 stone a year. Tried most everything with no success. Gave Keto a try 2 years ago - went mostly carnivore... my uric acid levels stay around 5.0 and haven't had a kidney stone since. Lucky me I guess. I agree with most in this video, but absolutely couldn't disagree more with the animal protein. Best my blood work has been since I was in my early 20s is right now (45 now). It may not work for everyone but I sure am thankful I'm one of the ones it has.
i got value of 1+ in urine analysis but it wasn't the first urine of my day. so I'm thinking about getting a repeat test after sometime. Can someone please tell me if this value is bad?
plase what about coffee, mango and tomato , are they safe ?
There have been mixed news abt celery in regards to kidney stones - some say its high oxalate especially raw celery consumed as juice - some way its low oxalate - confused !
Mere right kidney me 10mm aur 8mm ke stones the or ek ureter me bhi tha uski vajah se peshab bhi ruk ruk kr ata tha or bohot jalan hoti thi maine dr, ko dikhaya to bole ki turant operation karvalo😭pr muze operation se bohot dar lgta hai muze nhi krna tha, fir mai 💊 hi dhund rha tha to khadnol+livcon 💊and khadnol syrup k bare me pata chala to flipkart se mngvaliya or use kiya, isse mera peshab bhi khul gaya or jalan bhi khatm hogayi 15 din me, fir 3 month k bad sonography kiya to stones sare pighal gaye the, bohot achhi dava hai jisko bhi ye problem hai oo zaroor try krna👍bz
Kale and Spinach smoothies are 2 I would add to the list of never-consume. That's how I got mine, I thought I was being healthy but it turned out I don't digest the oxalates very well so I was actually hurting my kidneys the whole time.
I thought kale was low oxolates
yeah I heard spinach is one of if not thee worst things but nothing on kale so far.. for spinach I know juice bokchoy instead and still have my kale
Mere left aur right kidney me multiple stone khadnol livcon capsule and khadnol syrup se pighal gaye.. Best dawai hai 👍🎉vvv

Same here
Dr i have 12 mm kidny stone in right side at vesico uteric juntion and 16 mm in left kidny at mid pole. What should i do..go for lithotripsy or something else??
Go for bilateral rirs
I had 6 x lithotripsy, 1 every other month for a year and didn't work for me. Surgery sorted it in the end, but now stones back after 10 years.
That looks good I'm going to make that tomorrow
Oh, noooooo... Rhubarb!?! No more rhubarb pie... Well, that figures. Everything I like to eat best is high in oxalate. :( Maybe ala mode?
moderation in everything is ok... you can still have rhubarb pie, just maybe not the whole thing...
@@DrRobertChan OMG, you've heard about me! lol
Excellent speaker! Great video! So informative and educational!
Glad it was helpful!
He got me at beer
What is animal protein? Are we talking meat or dairy? is Whey protein ok?
It would be nice just to have a top 5 list to avoid these Oxalate foods rather than showing mix of foods

Rhubarb pie. I had to give up,😢
Unfortunate that replies by Dr Chan and others have been deleted.
Thanks doc.
What greens are good to eat rather than spinach.
kale is good. so is brocolli.
Cute kid... "yummmeeee, hey! ya!"
Heeeey its Harold from Harold And Kumar: Go to White Castle, lol!!!!!
Beer helps!? OMG!
Hi Dr. Chan, That's a great video! I like the humorous flavor throughout, and your son's comment at the end! I notice that you discourage rice bran. What about wheat bran? I often eat the Whole Foods 365 brand Organic Wheat Bran Flakes cereal. It has organic whole wheat, with organic wheat bran. There are only 3 grams of cane sugar but 125mg of salt. I usually combine this with Uncle Sam Cereal which has toasted whole wheat berry flakes with added flax seeds and barley malt with less than 1 gram of sugar per serving. Do you suggest I stop eating these cereals?
wheat bran has got about 34 mg of oxalate per 3/4 cup, so it's considered in the high category.. if you've ever got something you are wondering about, go to www.kidneystonediet.com to look up the oxalate amounts
Very informative and useful for kidney stones patients. Tku Doc.
Confusing???
Docs are gem
That looks delicious!
What causes the oxalate to crash out?
May i ask what brand of chanca piedra do you recommend, thanks
See..... i was told its ok to eat meat ........ ahhhhh im so confused , im dealijg with this kidney stone now and have not ate in 5 days .... im starving .... getting told to eat this then getting told dont eat it from another source....... !!!!!!! Im gonna die if I don't eat soon !
It depends on the type of kidney stones you are dealing with. Oxalate/calcium kidney stones (75% of all kidney stones) mostly due to high oxalate plant foods. Uric acid stones come from purines in animal products.
And lemon or limes to your water !
That's because every body is different and what works for Some People doesn't work for others, So your body tells You what's Good for it and what is Not, listen to your body, and drinking Water with fresh lemon 1/2 half a fresh lemon Squeezed on it might be a Good idea especially when You Wake Up and then Repeat it about 15 or 39 Minutes after the first one. And our bodies Change as we get older, So listen to your body more often, or write down everything you eat and how Your body reacts to what you ate that day.

Kidney stones are the worse pain i had in my life! I get a few a year, nothing helps. Gets me depressed, 25+yrs of this misery.
sorry to hear that. that sounds painful.
Did you find out what type of stones you have?
have you tried distilled water, higher alkaline diet, chanca piedra, lemon water, u.t
Some researchers says that boiling and cooking removed some 30-80% of palates from food. It this right.
interesting! i'll hav eto look a little more into that and make a video
What are you talking about, they sell rice bran in Kidnety Good Stuff???
Good video - except for the background noise.
I like your presentation. It's different from the usual but really interesting!
Thank you very much!
Can i eat blueberries?
Apple Cider Vinegar helps

I'm confused, you made a meal for your family with a ton of oxalates?
Watching a man oxylate-poison his loved ones ...ahhhh good times!
Lololol!!!
Great video... I drank a big glass of water after watching it. Thanks!!!
welp apparently my entire diet is high in oxalates!!!
Reminds me of Filipino foods.
Is having few table spoon of buckwheat a problem.
Buckwheat - 1 cup cooked has 133mg of oxalates. so as long as you try to stay underneath 100 mg with everything you are good. you should try to measure how much a few tablespoons of buckwheat ends up being when cooked.
Dr. Robert Chan thanks. No I use only three table spoons:)
Hello Dr Robert Chan. What type of calcium could be taken to supplement with? I have read that calcium can bind oxalates.
hi uberprep, if you can just eat calcium rich foods, that's usually the best. you are correct in that calcium can bind the oxalates in your diet. sometimes people are told to actually cut out calcium in their diet, which doesn't help. Here's a great article by the National Kidney Foundation that goes into a little bit more detail. www.kidney.org/atoz/content/calcium-oxalate-stone
@@DrRobertChan Thank you Dr! :)
If I where to drink 2-3 liters I cannot go anywhere as I frequently need the bathroom
What are oxolates?
4:07 random guy: h2so4 is fluid too
(drinks it)
oof
How much mm (max) stone can pass thought urine?
5 mm is my rule of thumb that can pass through ureter.
Some doc's say 5.5mm has 50%-60% chance of passing and 8.5mm has a 20% chance of passing. IMHO all else being equal I wouldn't try anything over 5mm.
a sharp jagged pointy stone can scrape and/or perforate your ureter, a smooth rounded stone can pass through even the size of soy bean.
Ive passed spikey 7mm stones before but it was absolute misery. Painful doesn't explain it. Took a few months. Had phantom pains for weeks after
what about coffee?
Well done example. What popped out at me first and foremost was that when adding the meat there was no oxalate listed because it’s insignificant. Yet, most of the advice that doctors give their patients is to avoid animal meat.
We live in a world where we tend to believe in advice from authorities who are continuously giving us the exact opposite dietary advice to what would actually make us healthy and cure us of diseases.
Not certain, but I think they recommend to not eat much protein from animal meat, because it makes the kidneys work very hard.
@@dfinite4089
I understand why that was previously the advice given based on theory and assumptions but that’s now a well disproven myth with recent metabolic understanding and evidence.
Doctors who no longer wish to learn beyond their original programming (mis-training) either haven’t caught up yet or refuse to reverse their previous advice for fear of reprisal.
That said, if your patient has kidney damage it might be good advice to moderate ALL protein not just animal protein.
It’s also important to understand that animal fat and protein (eaten in the absence of carbs and unnecessary fiber) is actually easier to digest and more bioavailable for people with a healthy gut than is plant protein.
@@humblerojo6300 a high carnitine choline diet with few fruits and vegetables seems like a good recipe for high TMAO levels
@@Protolamna
I’m aware that some hack researchers with dubious funding designed a study where they chose to make an assumption that TMAO was linked to cardiovascular disease. However, that was not evidence based, lab based nor was the study even long enough to track any meaningful data to find any cause and effect. Then Beyond Meat took that study and shouted it to the rooftops as “evidence” that their fake meat is better.
TMAO is the same TMAO that humans have had for over a million years without cardiovascular disease. That disease has risen steadily and sharply from the moment people started eating seed oils.
How can faux meat have better ingredients than beef which is 1 ingredient?
Beyond Meat: Water, pea protein isolate, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, rice protein, natural flavors, cocoa butter, mung bean protein, methylcellulose, potato starch, apple extract, pomegranate extract, salt, potassium chloride, vinegar, lemon juice concentrate, sunflower lecithin, beet juice extract, and carrot.

I have a 3mm calcium stone is that considered big?
5 mm stones and smaller are what I usually say can reasonably pass without surgery..
Why limiting yr animal protein ?? Whats the relation between the uric acid and oxalates ? I think the only solution is to eat animal products instead of plants
good question. animal protein tends to contain a lot of sulfar containing amino acids that when metabolized causes a state of acidosis in your body. the body compensates by essentially increasing the amount of calcium in the body which then leads to more calcium excretion in the urine.
@@DrRobertChan eating just animal products or being carnivore is never going to put you in acidocis case , or im wrong doctor , eating fat + protein foods = ketosis and not acidosis
@@08saaid9 I agree, going carnivore is the ultimate solution to the problem. Zero oxalates!
What about cashews Dr.Robert ?
check out kidneystonediet.com for their oxalate list

Your son loved it anyhow, that’s one positive thing!
Also turmeric & rhubarb are high in oxalates.
I was told fresh rhubarb was high in vitamin C & since I had some in the garden I put 1/2 a stock (leaves are poisonous) in some of my green smoothie. Lesson learned, don't do it! I will be ripping out my rhubarb plant. By the way, I read that cooking doesn't remove oxalates. I would re-think eating that strawberry rhubarb pie!
that's so interesting that you have rhubarb. i find that it's such an unusual plant that most people don't utilize it in their cooking.
Was turmeric not good?
Hi dr doesn't cooking reduces oxlate??
K2 and D?
That is a shame, the dish looks yummy.

How about raisins
raisins are fine. check out kidneystonediet.com for the list of foods and oxalate content . now bran flakes with raisins. not so good.
What about Microgreens?
They are low in oxalates. check out this article Jody: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0889157519317806
Is a 5mm stone passable? I'm hearing different things. Just got done with making a trip to the ER with my second one!
Just passed 5mm stone yesterday. Pretty painful but not something that will overwhelm you.
Dr can we eat boiled potatoes in kidney stone...?
i think the skin is bad.
@@DrRobertChan ok
It means I can eat potatoes after removing skin
Wow why othrs said spinach nut potato are worst food for kidney stone
Sir what about soya chunka it is safe 30 gm daily ???
I think that soya chunka (which might correspond to textured vegetable protein on this list here) with 30 grams - comes out to about 160 mg of oxalates. it's a little bit on the higher end of oxalates as you generally don't want to have more than 100 mg of oxalates in total per day .. www.stjoes.ca/patients-visitors/patient-education/patient-education-k-o/pd-9447-oxalate-in-food.pdf
I have kidney stones and it’s killing my back…can I eat Jalapeños?
sure can. it's about 5 mg if you eat half a cup.
Tea gives lower risk for stones? Black tea is one of worst offenders. I’m sorry completely disagree with this
link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00345-020-03466-8
check out this article...
My mother is very prone to kidney stones but I've never had one. I'm a female weightlifter. I eat a high protein, high low-fat dairy, high complex carb (lots of potatoes, oats, beans, lemtils and rice), moderate fruit/veg, very low-fat diet. I know I have too much caffeine and salt. So far so good...I do drink about 2-2.5 L of fluids a day so maybe I just keep everything flushed out🤔
I too wonder if flushing is the golden ticket?
Eat Calcium foods in the same meal as Oxalate, this causes Ca to bind to oxalate in the gut and this cannot be absorbed. Hence traditional foods such as Spinach and Ricotta (cheese) roll cancels the high Oxalate in spinach. Caffeine increases fluid through put, flushing helps reduce Ca-oxalate precipitation (crystallization).
Salt is fine. Our neurons need the right Sodium-Potassium amount and balance to work.
I often wonder if the low-salt craze is/has caused some of the post 2000 decrease in cognition (IQ)...
In Roman times people were paid in salt and sprinkled salt on their salad. Leaf vegetables have Potassium but lower Sodium. Hence the words: Salary - Salt - Salad, are all related.
Update
His son passed that stone!
tea is high in oxalates! (4:28)
Thank you for posting this video doctor. I have 1.5 cm kidney stone. My doctor said that to make surgery is too dangerous for your age (I'm 29) because it can damage your kidney and ureter. What can I do doctor?
Go see a different doctor! Your age shouldn't matter. That stone is going to cause you a lot of issues until it's removed.
did you get it sorted? my friend has some i think so i look up, it seems chanca piedra helps
1.5! That's nothin'
Plot twist: his son develops kidney stones
Lol.i thought the same thing
Watched this twice. Appreciated the pace and quality. Took notes and learned new things! One question: i heard if you mix dairy with a high oxalate food it neutralizes the effect. Is that true? Like creamed spinach or salad with feta?
There is certain truth that the calcium will bind the oxalates, but as to the extent of what percentage of the oxalates in the food is bound is unclear. This is a good resource that addresses your question a little bit when they discuss the use of calcium citrate supplements taken at the time of meals. www.uwhealth.org/files/uwhealth/docs/pdf/nutrition_kidney_stones.pdf
Urology Made Simple
Thank you!
Probably best just to avoid the foods that contribute to them like the plague.
Calcium binds with Oxilates. It can be dangerous for your body
@@marygabel7543They insist that you should still eat them. Still eat calcium AND vegetables and grain (only foods with oxylates) but then randomly admonish meat which is neither. 🤯
Thanks for the info. Just had a large kidney stone removed. Still recovering.
Best of luck!
I see I'm in a distinct minority, but I found this unhelpful in the extreme. Maybe I'm confused but why show a high quality cooking video of what NOT to eat? Pfft. Whatever. I'll keep trying to understand this issue, but something straightforward would be appreciated.
