How important is diet in preventing recurrence of kidney stones?
The most important thing you can do to prevent kidney stones is to drink a lot of water each day – 12 eight-ounce glasses – to dilute your urine. Depending on the nature of the kidney stone, your doctor may provide you with information on avoiding certain foods that may increase your risk for stones in the future. Your doctor may suggest that you consult with a dietitian to help further reduce risk factors in your diet.
