Got Diagnosed with Kidney stones

Hello everyone,

I want to share something personal.
Last month I was diagnosed with kidney stones, and the pain I was feeling was so bad that they had to put me under the table…

After the surgery the Doctor told me that things will not be entirely the same, since I will have to be on a diet in order to avoid this happening again.

He told me that I had to follow a Low-Oxalate Diet

But when I got home, I realized how confusing it all was. Every website said something different. I was scared to eat the wrong thing and end up back in the hospital.

After a lot of searching, I finally found one website that clearly listed what you can and cannot eat on a Low-Oxalate Diet. I managed to create simple meal plan I could follow without worrying what I eat.

All in all a month after and I don't feel like much has changed in my life except, as I like to remind myself "small eating correction".



I will share the website I found but please share your sources too, perhaps I missed something:)


Recommendation:

Thanks for opening up about this. Kidney stones are no joke and the recovery can be tough, so it’s good to hear you’re already feeling more in control. The low oxalate diet can be confusing at first because every source lists things a little differently, but once you get the basics down it really does come down to small corrections, just like you said.
Glad you found a resource that helped you put a simple meal plan together. Please share it here, and I’ll go through it as well. I’ve also come across a few reliable guides from registered dietitians that explain food swaps and portion sizes clearly, so I’m happy to share those if it helps.
This kind of information can support a lot of people dealing with the same issue, so it’s great you brought it up.
