Your chance of developing another stone is greatly reduced if you:
- drink plenty of fluid - at least two litres daily (water is readily available, no prescription needed, very cheap)
- take care not to eat too much calcium. You should eat no more than 300 (big cup)ml of milk + 50 g of cheese + either an ice cream or ½ cup of yogurt every day
- watch your oxalate intake. You should eat no more than one serving of rhubarb + six slices of beetroot + two servings of either silverbeet, spinach or puha every day
- avoid excessive salt intake as it increases urine calcium excretion
- eat meat in moderation. Meat is the most important cause of increased calcium and uric acid excretion. Excessive intake (very common amongst men) should be avoided
- dietary assessment and modification must be done by a dietician. People must understand the reasons for the dietary advice and be encouraged to make a life long commitment
- drugs may be advised for specific conditions.
