I was diagnosed with kidney stones in November 2024 and was told to drink more water. Long story short, I had the stones (calcium oxalate) removed at the end of February but was given very little guidance on diet changes: less than 2,000 mg of sodium, 1200 mg. calcium, less than 45 mg oxalates. 24 urine test was abnormal in February. Within days of the surgery, I got what I thought was stomach flu. Lost 10 lbs, was very weak, and could not gain weight. Naturopath diagnosed low acid stomach that prevents proper digestion of nutrients. I made many changes to encourage gut health and believe that issue is under control. After much research, I track all fluids and food. Average sodium: 1000 mg, average calcium: 1100; average oxalates: 28. Average water: 70 ounces daily. (age 72, current weight 118 lbs, have osteoporosis) Dr. prescribed a diuretic but have trouble with side effects so am declining to take it. All bloodwork and last 24 hour urine test within normal range except potassium which is at the lowest normal threshold. One cause of that could be the diuretic.
