The aim of the leaflet is to provide you with advice on how to modify your diet and fluid intake to reduce your risk of getting further stones.  \nWe have consulted specialist surgeons during its preparation, so it represents best practice in UK urology. You should use it in addition to any advice already given to you.  \nTo view this leaflet online, scan the QR code (right) or type the short URL below it into your web browser.  \nKEY POINTS  \n• Specific types of stone can be managed by measures aimed at the cause of your stone formation  \n• Generally, keeping your urine dilute & colourless reduces your risk of forming a further stone by almost one third (30 to 40%)  \n• In addition, a normal calcium, low-salt, low-protein dietary intake can reduce your risk of stone formation even further  \nHow much do I need to drink?  \nDrinking plenty of fluid is the most effective way of preventing stone formation and reduces your risk of stone formation by almost one third (30 to 40%) . Not drinking enough can cause your urine to become concentrated, making stones more likely to form.  \nTry to drink two to three litres (four to six pints) of fluid (water or squash) each day. You should aim to keep your urine colourless throughout the day. This should give you a  \nurine output of at least two litres (four pints) per day. If you have cystine stones, you will need to drink enough to produce more than four litres of urine each day.  \nYou can drink tea, coffee & alcohol in moderation, but most of your fluid intake should be water or squash. We recommend that you drink one or two glasses of water before going to bed, and on getting up in the morning.  \nTips to help you increase your fluid intake are:  \n• drink a large glass of water at specific times each day (e.g. when you get up, when you arrive at work, after using the toilet etc);  \n• keep a bottle or jug of water by your side all day; you can flavour it with fruit squash;  \n• try to drink one glass of water every hour;  \n• add slices of lemon, lime or orange to cold water; this gives it a pleasant flavour and helps to make your urine less acidic;  \n• eat more fruit & vegetables because they contain a lot of water; and  \n• include moist / liquid foods in your diet (e.g. soup, stew & jelly) .  \nDoes what I eat influence stone formation?  \nWhat you eat is not as important as how much you drink, but it does play apart in stone formation.  \nIt is essential to have a well-balanced diet, avoiding too many calories. This should include fresh fruit, salad and vegetables, low-fat dairy produce, and whole grain products such as bread or cereals.  \nA high fibre intake is helpful, although you should not eat wheat bran because of its high oxalate content.  \nIs calcium in my diet bad for stones?  \nInterestingly, reducing the amount of calcium in your diet can increase the risk of stone formation, by raising oxalate levels in your urine. A daily intake of up to 1000 mg per day is safe for calcium stone formers.  \nMost dietary calcium is found in dairy products (milk, yoghurt, cream and cheese) . A normal, varied diet will give you about 500 mg of calcium each day. The approximate calcium contents of dairy produce are:  \n• milk and yoghurt – 120 mg per 100 g  \nPublished: Jul-23 Leaflet No: E23/114  \nReview due: Oct-26 © British Association of Urological Surgeons Limited  \n• soft cheese-400 mg per 100 g  \n• hard cheeses-up to 1000 mg per 100 g  \nIf you have too much calcium in your urine, you may benefit from restricting your calcium intake, but you should discuss this with your urologist, specialist nurse or GP.  \nDoes oxalate intake play a part in stone formation?  \nYes. You should try to avoid oxalate-rich foods to keep the oxalate levels in your urine at a normal level. You should avoid eating rhubarb, celery, spina","cbCaiatpILhl7CO9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiatpILhl7CO9","pdf",361957,7,"English","# Key points\n## How much do I need to drink?\n## Does what I eat influence stone formation?\n## Is calcium in my diet bad for stones?\n## Does oxalate intake play a part in stone formation?\n## Should I restrict my salt intake?\n## Is there anything else I can do to help myself?\n## Can you find out why I have made stones?","[{\"question\":\"How much should I drink each day to prevent stone formation?\",\"answer\":\"Aim to drink two to three litres of fluid daily, keeping your urine colourless throughout the day.
