How do you prevent kidney stones? Looking for advice

@codyspack
I’ve had 8 kidney stones.
My Urologist once told me to eat an orange everyday, then said lemondade was good. I suppose lemon water would work too. At one point he gave me a prescription for potassium citrate which keeps your urinary pH at 6.5-7.0 and that helps dissolve the stones and helps prevent more. I had calcium oxalate stones and I don’t know if the treatments recommended for me would work on other types of stones.
Of course drink lots of water. One doctor recommended 2 liters another 3 liters. Make sure your urine is always very light in color.
Also if you have calcium oxalate, stones you need be careful how many oxalates you eat.
Best of luck to you,
Jake

Other home remedies:

Start with diet. One size does not fit all, what works for you may not work for everyone. I have gout and was warned it could lead to kidney stones, so I have drastically reduced foods that break down into purines. My first attack occurred after eating restaurant turkey. I was later told turkey becomes purines and that it was probably highly salted. Beef, shrimp, organ meats create purines. So do certain vegetables, but not as bad I was told. For me, the safest proteins are chicken and fish. I prefer sushi over cooked fish, because it's less processed. Lean beef on occasion. Stay away from the saltshaker. You can usually taste it if the food is salty. I was told by a hypertension nurse that you can actually eat anything in moderation. Be proactive with your health. Do your own research with Dr. Google, search the Mayo website, look carefully online, but watch out for deceptive ads. Tart cherry juice concentrate has worked for lots of people and can be purchased through Amazon. I get Cherry Bay Orchards Montmorency cherry concentrate through Amazon. Drink lots of water to keep hydrating your kidneys. Better many minor trips to the bathroom than one major trip to the hospital. If you have a good doctor, work with her or him. If not, keep looking until you find one.
Good luck.

Just curious, what type of stones do you have.

I’ve had kidney and Bladder stones, my urologist said to get THERALITH XR and it’s not a prescription either. The doctor said to take one pill around breakfast time and one pill around dinner time. So far in the last two years I have not had a kidney or bladder stone since taking it:)
