As a urologist I see patients with kidney stones every day and the commonest question that is asked to me is the diet. The patients ask me what should I eat and what should I not eat so that I don't get kidney stones in the future? Well there is good news as well as bad news. The good news is with dietary modification we can avoid kidney stones to an extent. When we say dietary modification the common dietary advice that a urologist gives to the patient is to ensure adequate fluid or water intake ensuring a good urine output of around 1.5 to 2 liters per day. So in short drink adequate amount of fluids amounting to two to three liters. That is the most important dietary advice and the second piece of dietary advice that I would like to give is eat everything in moderation. There is no particular kidney diet which can prevent kidney stones. So eat everything but in moderation. Don't indulge in dietary excesses. It is a myths that people believe that cutting down on dairy foods like milk, curds, cheese, yogurt, etc. is helpful in preventing kidney stones. It does not. There is no evidence to say that avoiding any particular dairy product or avoiding any particular food decreases the incidence of kidney stones. Many people also think that decreasing food like spinach, tomato, brinjal, lady's finger etc. it reduces the incidence of kidney stones but that itself is not based on any scientific facts. So there is no evidence that cutting down drastically on any particular type of food reduces the incidence of kidney stones. The reason why kidney stones form is because of metabolic reason and less because of dietary reason.
