Kidney Stones & Calcium: Should You Stop Milk? 🥛🩺
Many people with kidney stones stop milk, curd and buttermilk. But cutting down calcium from food is not always the right step.
Calcium from food can bind with oxalate in the stomach, so less oxalate reaches the kidneys. A very low-calcium diet may increase the risk of stones and can also affect bone health.
✅ Get calcium from food, along with meals
✅ Avoid extra calcium tablets unless your doctor advises them
✅ Limit excess salt and meat
If you have kidney stones or recurring stone concerns, consult a qualified urologist for appropriate evaluation.
