Kidney stones are mainly Calcium Oxalate, Uric acid and Cystine. My kidney stones was 100% Calcuim Oxalate. High-oxalate foods include: black tea, potato chips, peanuts and chocolate. My top 3 favorites food items. I start my day with strong black tea with milk. I buy loads of potato chips and peanut and snack them all the time. Now I have cut my peanuts consumption. I love peanut soup and satay sauce.
In order to reduce the chance of kidney stones recurring, I should cut these 3 items from my diet. I love peanut butter. I eat peanut butter with cream cracker if there is no bread and worse just peanut butter by itself if I ran out of cream cracker. Every morning, I start my day with a cup of strong Ceylon tea with evaporated milk and sugar. In the afternoon and evening, I may have an cup or two.
Many times, when I am travelling, I am too lazy to go and eat in a resturant, I will eat potato chips for my meal. It is really stupid as the company would pay for my meals anyway.
The kidney stones I had is "staghorn" i.e. it is very spiky. So there is no way it can come down the ureter. So I need to drink a lot of water beside avoiding high oxalate food.
