Chicken, Fish or Red Meat: Which Is Best for Kidney Stones?
Swapping a steak for chicken or fish will not lower your kidney stone risk. When it comes to stones, meat is meat. Your kidneys treat turkey, pork, and seafood the exact same way. Eating too much of any animal protein can lower your urine citrate. It can also make your urine too acidic, dropping the pH below 5.8. That gives calcium oxalate and uric acid stones the perfect place to grow.We break down why high-meat diets like keto often lead right to kidney stones. You do not have to quit eating meat completely. You just need to watch the amount you eat every day. We explain why a 24-hour urine test is so important to find the real problem. You will also learn how to get safe protein from dairy, peas, and lentils without raising your stone risk.Get Featured!Leave us a voice message at call.show/kidneystonediet to be featured on the show!Chapters - Comparing Meat Types for Kidney Stones - Popular High Protein Diets and Stones - Why Poultry and Fish Count as Meat - Kidney Stone Diet Meat Protein Calculator ——When you're ready, here's how I can helpSince 1998, I've helped thousands of patients prevent kidney stones.

Is Cheese Good or Bad for Kidney Stones?
One slice of Swiss cheese has 180 milligrams of calcium and under 70 milligrams of sodium. Most cheeses do not look like that. People often tell us they eat cheese to get their daily calcium. The problem is that most cheese is packed with salt. Too much salt makes your kidneys dump calcium straight into your urine. That extra calcium can easily turn into kidney stones.We break down how different cheeses affect your kidneys and your bones. We look at salty favorites like cheddar, brie, and cottage cheese. You will learn which cheeses have much less sodium, like Swiss and Havarti. We also share easy ways to mix them into your favorite meals, like your morning eggs.You do not have to give up cheese completely. Our rule is portion, not perfection. You will learn how to check nutrition labels and protect your daily salt budget. That way, you can enjoy your food and still keep kidney stones away.Get Featured!Leave us a voice message at call.show/kidneystonediet to be featured on the show!Chapters - Dietary Calcium and Cheese Misconceptions - Comparing Sodium in Swiss and Cheddar - Finding Lower Sodium Cheese Alternatives - How High Sodium Increases Kidney Stones ——When you're ready, here's how I can helpSince 1998, I've helped thousands of patients prevent kidney stones.

Is Sparkling Water Bad for Kidney Stones?
Your bottle of bubbly water might hide a surprising amount of salt and sugar. Carbonation itself does not cause kidney stones. The carbon dioxide in sparkling water is completely safe. The real trouble comes from what companies add to the bottle. Tonic water often carries a heavy dose of sugar. Many mineral waters sneak in extra sodium and calcium. That can easily throw off your daily targets.We break down how to read water labels so you stay protected. Too much sodium raises the calcium in your urine, which can form stones. Extra sugar does the same thing. We talk through your daily limits for salt, added sugar, and calcium. You will see how flavored drinks fit into your day without undoing your hard work.We also look at artificial sweeteners. We share why simple tap water is often your best bet. If you love fizzy drinks, you do not have to give them up completely. You just need to check the label and count those extra minerals. You will know exactly which bubbly drinks are safe to sip.Get Featured!Leave us a voice message at call.show/kidneystonediet to be featured on the show!Chapters - Sparkling Water and Kidney Stone Prevention - Sodium and Calcium in Mineral Water - Added Sugar in Flavored Waters - Artificial Sweeteners and Nutrition Labels ——When you're ready, here's how I can helpSince 1998, I've helped thousands of patients prevent kidney stones.
