Watch this if you're eating right and STILL making kidney stones

You cut out spinach and almonds completely, but your urine tests still show high oxalate. It is deeply frustrating when you work hard and still make kidney stones. We walk you through why your oxalate stays high even on a healthy diet.

We explain how calcium acts like a magnet for oxalate inside your body. When you eat half a sweet potato with cottage cheese, the calcium binds to the oxalate. Your body flushes them both out in your stool. Without enough calcium, that extra oxalate passes straight into your blood. We also look at how stomach issues or fat absorption problems break this process apart.

We also cover how taking extra vitamin C supplements can secretly raise your oxalate levels. You will walk away knowing exactly what your urine test numbers mean. You will get clear, actionable steps to balance your meals and protect your health.
