Don’t consume too much vitamin C
Lastly, you’ll need to keep your vitamin C intake under control. The reason behind this is that eating vitamin C in excess of 1000mg/day can actually increase the risk of forming oxalate stones.
So, if you’re already eating a lot of fruits rich in vitamin C, it might be a good idea to skip taking supplements. Ideally, 60mg of vitamin C per day is enough for your daily needs5.
As always, if you’re planning to start a kidney stone diet, be sure to talk to your doctor about it. They would best be able to guide you on how best to go about with your diet, as well as tips to make sure you’re dieting the right way.
