Hi coldgator! First off, it's important to remember that there are various types of kidney stones. That said, different foods impact the stones differently, but in general I would advise you to make sure you're staying hydrated! Aiming for around half your body weight, in ounces, of fluids per day, is a good rule of thumb. Please keep in mind that your needs increase when you're sick, in warmer climates, due to different disease states, and especially when you're active and/or sweating more than usual. The other thing I'd advise, which you may not like, is to gradually decrease your meat and sodium intake. Start replacing meat with chicken or fatty fish a few times per week, skip the salt shaker and use herbs and spices for flavoring instead. If you're open to it, I also encourage adding plant-based proteins like lentils, chia seeds, beans, and tempeh. Reducing your meat and sodium intake is a great place to start and I advise you to consult your physician since they have your full medical history and could make more personalized recommendations. I hope that helps!

Yes, in ounces! So if you're 100 pounds, aim for 50oz of water daily.
