Kidney Stone Prevention Diet

Kidney Stone Prevention Diet is designed for anyone who has had a kidney stone, is at risk of forming one, or just wants to protect their long-term kidney health. Kidney stones are painful, disruptive, and expensive — and diet is one of the biggest factors people can actually control.

The app focuses on the four dietary levers that matter most for the majority of stone types: oxalate, calcium, sodium, and hydration. Instead of generic diet advice, it gives you a working knowledge of the real foods on your plate — how much oxalate is in that spinach salad, whether your dairy intake supports the calcium-oxalate balance, and how much sodium is hiding in that meal you thought was healthy.

It's built for practical, day-to-day use. You don't have to memorize charts or dig through medical papers. You look up a food, log a meal, or explore preventive strategies specific to your stone type — including calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, uric acid, struvite, and cystine stones — and get clear, evidence-informed guidance in return.

Kidney Stone Prevention Diet is different because it centers the calcium-oxalate paradox that trips up so many patients: cutting calcium doesn't help — pairing calcium with oxalate-containing meals does. That subtlety is baked into every recommendation. It also emphasizes hydration and sodium reduction, which are just as important as any single food.

The app pairs beautifully with our free Learning Center, which contains detailed articles on every stone type, food categories, hydration strategies, and dietary myths. Where the Learning Center provides depth, the app provides day-to-day tools you can use.

It is not a replacement for medical care. It's a companion — a set of tools and guidance you use alongside your urologist, nephrologist, or primary care provider to make consistent, informed decisions about your diet.
