Below is a photo of calcium oxalate crystals in urine…
I just got the pathology back on the stone that I passed, and this is the type of crystal I passed. However, it was a great deal larger at 3 mm.
It’s the most common type of kidney stone, apparently.
It was black in color and jagged all over to the naked eye.
My doctor gave me some dietary restrictions in order to prevent this from forming again…And I’ll do all I can not to pass one of these babies again!
I wanted to pass these on to you, who need to watch what they eat to prevent the formation of these crystals.
I will list them in order of importance, as laid out for me.
General Suggestions:
1. Water -You are supposed to drink enough water to keep the volume of the urine great than 2 liters that you pass per day (that’s equal to about 2 quarts).
* Tip: My naturopath gave me a neat formula to determine how much water a person should drink on a daily basis, just to be normally healthy: Body Weight / 2 (divided by 2) and this is the number of ounces you are to drink in a day.
Basically, both my urologist and naturopath say that if your urine is yellow, you’re creating stones…it should be clear or very pale yellow in color. If it’s not, keep drinking water.
2. Salt - Don’t add any salt to your diet…No salt on your food, and reduce the salt you use to cook with. Plus, much less pre-packaged, canned or cured foods, as they use a lot of salt in processing. Eat more naturally.
