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.
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.
Brazillian stoner here. A few tips that always help me passing one: 1 - Heat is the key and for me it decreases pain instantly in about 50%, so always have a thermal bag in home. 2 - Drink as much as you can of apple cider vinegar with lemon juice, whole cups of it. Gladly to help. And to prevent any kind os stone my tip is to always have a bottle of water by your side in every ocasion of your day and drink a cup of apple cider vinegar with lemon juice every single day of your life. Im clean of stones for 3 years now since i started this "strategy".
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.
Just had my first ones. 5mm finally passed this morning. UG so much pain. 6 days from when it started, got better 2 days later and then boom later that day another hit me. Another 2-3 days where pain meds barely cut into the pain and finally plop, 5 mm stone. I feel small when you all say 8mm and 9mm. :)
My husband had a 12 mm... Had absolutely no pain. Actually had gallbladder pain and that's how it was discovered. Three surgery later finally passed the stone. Three stents as well. Just did 6 months follow up only to discover he has another 12 mm on the other side. So now we're going through this whole low oxalate diet... It's just insane. We eat healthy. He exercises. He drinks a ton of water....
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.
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.
Doctor prescribed Warstone to me...I ordered it frm Amzon...my 17mm stone was dissolved in 2 months treatment..people said only surgery is the solution but Warstone saved me..
Omg can you stop going to every video about kidney stones to advertise your lies about watstone you are a liar stop messing with people’s health that is not nice Sir!!!
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.
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.
Foods to Avoid: 1. Potato with skin 2. Navy beans 3. Rice bran 4. Almonds 5. Spinach 6. Rhubarb (omitted due to infrequent use) Rules: 1. Get enough calcium in your diet 2. Reduce salt 3. Limit animal protein
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.
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.
@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.
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.
As a Carnivore your comment on limit of 2 portions of meat a day made me crack up. I been Carnivore for a year and have the best digestion best energy levels best sleep Ive had im back to my weight in high school I’m back lifting weights which I stopped 30years ago. My diet consists of nothing but animal meats butter bacon 4-6 eggs a day. Lost 25lbs No more Gout i suffered for 25years No more Gas issues No more Eczema No more bad breath Tonsillitis is gone had this since i was 9 years old No more bleeding gums No more joint pain IBS is gone Chronic diarrhoea gone No more mouth ulcers Gingivitis gone BP normal No more dandruff Brain fog gone No more mood swings All this and more all cured without medication just Meat. So now tell me about how meat is supposed to be bad for our diet. Stop being a puppet to big pharma and actually help your patients.
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.
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.
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.
@@dfinite1111 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.
@@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.
German M. Sc. of chemistry here ... at the uni I gave lectures in front of quite a few soon-to-be physicians as well and I had kidney stones, too! Today I avoid - not exclude - those mentioned ingredients. I combine them with milk products so the calcium oxalate precipitates as indigestible solid in my stomach. OR I use my fizzy tablets containing lots of citrate flooding my body and urine with it thus I 'camouflage' the calcium in the urine so oxalate does not find any and cannot precipitate in my kidneys. 😉
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.
Good that it worked for you! Hope you're still healthy. But it's good to know that they say that animal protein excretes calcium, oxalate and uric acid in your urine. Which are the main conditions that lead to kidney stones. Maybe there was something else in your diet that helped you stay out of trouble. Enough hydration? Enough citrate in the urine? Low oxalate and uric acid in the urine? Who knows? But I wouldn't play with fire myself 😂.

Dear Dr. Thanks for your presentation. I have 6mmkidiney ston on my left kidiney how you suggest me to out this stone at home remedies. Thanks for your answering my question,
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.
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.
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🤔
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.
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
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
People forget they need to hydrate themselves. We dont drink enough water .....and most people eat too much animal protein. Id rather eat the greens or have a smoothie with pineapple than eat meat. But lemon water every morning will help prevent them big time.
I was about to pass out from the pain, had a fever, but managed to get the pain down. My scan viewed a stone from what I’m told was a 5mm and very nauseous. They prescribed basic pain meds, some bladder helpers, said lots of fluid and no Calcium Oxolate. I was able to pass the stone maybe 2 days later and the stone was literally a rock. I took it back into the hospital and had labs send it out. My pain is now at about a 3 compared to the constant 10 for hours there. Was blocking my bladder from what I understand and now relieving feels so much better. Seeing a urologist next week. Just say no to stones! Plant based diet mostly the past 3 years, hardly any junk no sodas only water. I drink a min a gallon a day and the occasional energy drink for taste purposes. I do a lot of the protein powders for plant based because I’m lactose. Hope this helps
@@Ryan-cs3uc Avoiding stones? Not sure. I still have two stones that I know haven't passed. So there's always some anxiety when I have pains in my side. Since then I've kept up a good routine of drinking 1 gallon of water a day, and I've stayed on taking potassium supplements 3x a day.
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
@@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. 🤯
Why in the world would you make a video featuring a meal out of all the things I shouldn't eat! What does the diabetic video feature? Candy making... or the AA video? Bartending advice.
Rhubarb is a mid west thing. Rhubarb crisp is honestly the best desert I've ever had with a little vanilla ice cream it's better than any other fruit pie/crisp
I had 16 mm stone in my kidney for years but o neglected that severe pain but after a period I've got to know about that thn last year I've under gone to PCNL but now again I have 8 mm stone in lower side of kidney. Do you have any tip to prevent it or to cure?
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 !
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
The 5 worst foods for calcium oxalate kidney stones? 🍫🥔 Guess it's time to break up with spinach smoothies and chips. Here's to finding new, kidney-friendly favorites and keeping those stones at bay! 🚫🪨😊
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!
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 .
One video says orange juice is good for you than another video says it's bad for you.im confused .one video says avoid eggs than next video says eat egss.
I totally disagree. Most of the vegetables have a lot of oxalates. We need animal protein and fats. Blend a whole lemon in 12oz of distilled or spring water and drink it everyday or squeeze a whole lemon in 12oz of water. Drink another 4oz of water to rinse your mouth. Make sure to get a high amount of vitamin A. Also take D, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Few people know that you have to have vitamin A for D to be more available and effective
i just found out I have a 8.6mm stone in my kidney which caused me a pretty bad infection and made me suffer hellaa. had to get a double J stent and i’ve been lowkey sad cause seems like i have to limit ALL of my old eating habits which is hard lol. i’m scared i might get more kidney stones in the future, it was pretty painful and scary. 40-41° fevers, back/waist pain, headaches and nausea… i lost hella weight from not being able to move or eat. kidney stones are noooo joke!
@Ryan-cs3uc na I qent in with worst abdomen pain I ever experienced. they scanned me and found it. then had procedure that next morning to break the stone up with a laser and they extracted it themselves while I was asleep. then installed the stent so I can urinate due to swelling. wasn't much of a choice because I wasn't gonna be able to pass it.
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.
I ate at least two patatoes a day with salt, skins and butter. I also drank ice tea and coffee. I am just getting over my stones. I do not think large amounts of Iced tea is anti stone production. I cut the tea and patatoes drank plenty of water and the problem went away.
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?

You could have some other stones forming or already formed in the kidneys. Only an MRI would be able to answer that.

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.
@@dfinite1111
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.
@Sagar Wagh eeeee Macarena
German M. Sc. of chemistry here ... at the uni I gave lectures in front of quite a few soon-to-be physicians as well and I had kidney stones, too! Today I avoid - not exclude - those mentioned ingredients. I combine them with milk products so the calcium oxalate precipitates as indigestible solid in my stomach. OR I use my fizzy tablets containing lots of citrate flooding my body and urine with it thus I 'camouflage' the calcium in the urine so oxalate does not find any and cannot precipitate in my kidneys. 😉
Thank you for sharing your family with us they are adorable
Thank you for the information you shared.

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.
Good that it worked for you! Hope you're still healthy. But it's good to know that they say that animal protein excretes calcium, oxalate and uric acid in your urine. Which are the main conditions that lead to kidney stones. Maybe there was something else in your diet that helped you stay out of trouble. Enough hydration? Enough citrate in the urine? Low oxalate and uric acid in the urine? Who knows? But I wouldn't play with fire myself 😂.
I read that if you want to eat food that has high oxalates, you should eat foods with calcium at the same time. Like, spinach with cheese.
that is why I add cooked sweet potato and avocado(which are very high in oxalates) under thick layer of cheese to my pizza !
Great video... I drank a big glass of water after watching it. Thanks!!!
I like your video, short and to the point!

Hello Dr I make once a week turkey stew is ok to eat turkey? Thank u
Dear Dr. Thanks for your presentation. I have 6mmkidiney ston on my left kidiney how you suggest me to out this stone at home remedies. Thanks for your answering my question,
What greens are good to eat rather than spinach.
kale is good. so is brocolli.
Your son loved it anyhow, that’s one positive thing!
Watching a man oxylate-poison his loved ones ...ahhhh good times!
Lololol!!!
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?
Excellent speaker! Great video! So informative and educational!
Glad it was helpful!
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.
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.
Yes. It is.
Thanks for the info. Just had a large kidney stone removed. Still recovering.
Best of luck!
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.
I like your presentation. It's different from the usual but really interesting!
Thank you very much!
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
Confusing???
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
People forget they need to hydrate themselves. We dont drink enough water .....and most people eat too much animal protein. Id rather eat the greens or have a smoothie with pineapple than eat meat. But lemon water every morning will help prevent them big time.

I was about to pass out from the pain, had a fever, but managed to get the pain down. My scan viewed a stone from what I’m told was a 5mm and very nauseous. They prescribed basic pain meds, some bladder helpers, said lots of fluid and no Calcium Oxolate. I was able to pass the stone maybe 2 days later and the stone was literally a rock. I took it back into the hospital and had labs send it out. My pain is now at about a 3 compared to the constant 10 for hours there. Was blocking my bladder from what I understand and now relieving feels so much better. Seeing a urologist next week. Just say no to stones! Plant based diet mostly the past 3 years, hardly any junk no sodas only water. I drink a min a gallon a day and the occasional energy drink for taste purposes. I do a lot of the protein powders for plant based because I’m lactose. Hope this helps
Thanks for your story, I have kidney stones that have yet to pass, so I'm deathly terrified of going through that again.
Which food u eat . Rice bread ? Protein ?
Plant based diet caused stones. Spinach, kale, collard, etc all go calcium oxalates
@@miqoteloverhave you managed to avoid getting anymore stones?
@@Ryan-cs3uc Avoiding stones? Not sure. I still have two stones that I know haven't passed. So there's always some anxiety when I have pains in my side. Since then I've kept up a good routine of drinking 1 gallon of water a day, and I've stayed on taking potassium supplements 3x a day.
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

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. 🤯

Hi dr doesn't cooking reduces oxlate??
That was the most simple explanation I was looking for.
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 !
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!
Eat almost no meat, limit all kinds of fruits, veggies, nuts, salt…so we should just filter feed.

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?

Which is why I'm Ketovore. (Small amount of greens).No stones or medications at 55 years old. Down 70 pounds.
Maybe I ask, how do you get your electrolytes? I know many of them (especially leafy greens) provide a lot of the potassium we need.
I totally disagree. Most of the vegetables have a lot of oxalates. We need animal protein and fats. Blend a whole lemon in 12oz of distilled or spring water and drink it everyday or squeeze a whole lemon in 12oz of water. Drink another 4oz of water to rinse your mouth. Make sure to get a high amount of vitamin A. Also take D, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Few people know that you have to have vitamin A for D to be more available and effective
