Diet tips that may help prevent kidney stones.

Kidney stones are extremely painful. If you?ve had them, consider making dietary changes.

Sergey Kalitenko MD?s suggestions:

• Increase your intake of fiber-rich foods, like flaxseeds and apples, and complex carbohydrates like potatoes and leafy green vegetables.
• Add foods that are rich in magnesium and low in calcium, like buckwheat, brown rice, avocado, banana, coconut, cashew and potatoes.
• Drink plenty of water?six to eight glasses a day.
• AVOID foods that contain oxylate: spinach, parsley, rhubarb, cranberry, nuts, black tea and cocoa.
