now here’s a question can too much calcium

cause kidney stones well there are some studies that show that if

you’re taking about 500 milligrams of calcium

carbonate which i never recommend because this is like consuming a stone

or cement that could increase the risk of kidney stones okay so so yes it’s a

possibility now the other condition is when you have

hypercalcemia that’s that could come from many different things

one cause would be taking massive doses of vitamin d i’m talking

about over a hundred thousand iu’s over many months you could develop

hypercalcemia which could potentially lead to kidney stones

but the more likely cause of kidney stones is some type of

dysfunction within the kidney okay it’s kidney damage from years of maybe eating

incorrectly and your body has a difficult time of getting rid of certain

things the most common kidney stone is calcium

oxalate stones one thing that you could do if you’re

prone to getting kidney stones is make sure that the foods that you eat

are not high in oxalates okay here are some popular high oxalate

foods that are also keto friendly almonds

okay so you want to avoid these spinach now if you consume cheese at the same

time you’re consuming spinach the oxalates in

the spinach will bind with the calcium in your digestive tract

and it won’t get absorbed into the blood and out to the kidney

so that’s one way to cope with that also when you steam spinach

you reduce the oxalates swiss chard is very high in oxalates

so you want to probably avoid that and chocolate can also

create a problem next thing low citrates okay how do you handle that you can

either take like potassium citrate or other minerals

that are in the citrate form or you can take lemon juice

and if you’re prone to kidney stones you know two plus ounces

of lemon juice every single day is not a bad idea put it in your water

and if you have a kidney stone you probably want to take eight ounces

of lemon juice every single day because citrate helps dissolve

calcium oxalate stones all right next thing which is probably the most

important thing is you want to make sure you have enough

fluids at least 2.5 liters of fluid

if you’re prone to kidney stones that’s simply going to keep your urine from

becoming too concentrated so you’re going to

make it really hard for your body to develop any stones just by doing this

right here some people we do three liters a day so

at least that that should help you next thing there are certain microbes

that help dissolve oxalate stones and there’s some data that shows that

stones can develop if you’re missing that microbe

and they’re doing research right now as i speak on

giving people that microbe to help decrease the risk of stone

but it’s unavailable for you to just buy commercially

however we do know that if there’s a healthy microbiome

the risk of kidney stones goes down okay the other thing that you want to make

sure you’re consuming is higher amounts of fiber because

fiber helps bind with calcium and oxalates together so have your

large salads of course not the spinach or the swiss chard

the other thing is bile if your gallbladder is working you have enough

bile salts this can also reduce the risk of kidney

stones because bile helps bind with calcium and oxalates as

well and some people use purify bowel salts

to help dissolve kidney stones all right so i

hope that answered the question and thank you so much for watching
