I know I'm not supposed to eat rhubarb or sardines anymore ( actually never did) and also soda and artificial sweeteners (never drank much of them) avoid salt, bananas, raisins,cantaloupe, potatoes, tomatoes, red meat, green leafy vegetables and dairy products (ok...so what's left?) oh and don't smoke ( I never have.. I also don't drink alcohol).
I am drinking more water and lemonade and less tea, but not sure how long I can keep that up lol.
Ferret -
Glad to hear you're feeling better. I had a brief episode about 15 years ago (age ~ 50). Woke up in pain, but fully functional by afternoon. Dodged the bullet on that one.
Recommended diet and kidney stones sure is confusing. Being a coffee and ice tea addict, I searched for coffee/tea & kidney stones and found lots of conflicting information. The majority of recent research seemed to indicate that coffee/tea (regular & decaf), as well as wine & beer, reduced the incidence of kidney stones. The bad actors were sodas, apple juice and grapefruit juice.
Bottom line: who knows? but maybe you can maintain you're tea addiction.
BTW - onions are highly recommended.
